Country is cheating a bit, but here's a few:

Toby Keith - Whiskey Girl ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N44pIQ0fJKA)

"Baby got a '69 Mustang, 4 on the floor and you wanna hear the powerplant"

(it's not a '69 in the video though!)

Toby Keith - Big Ol' Truck ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohmECvQ7Qj8)

"I'm in love with the girl with the 4 wheel drive"

Johnny Cash - One Piece At A Time ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18cW_yHo3PY)

"Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed
that something was definitely wrong.
The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts
all the holes were gone.
So we drilled it out so that it would fit
And with a little bit of help with an A-daptor kit
We had that engine runnin' just like a song
Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch
all three of 'em come on."

"Sim simma, who got the keys to ma bimmer"

Another one - although it doesn't namecheck a specific car:

JME - 96 fkries ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrOwSEpYLKg)

"I roll with Aaron and Aaron,
frequently I get stopped by the gammon,
cos my whip looks like it should be owned by Jeremy Clarkson or Richard Hammond"

Suede - Breakdown

“Does your love only come?
Does he only come in a Volvo?”

The Fratellis - Vince the loveable stoner

“Now Vince was a loner
A lovable stoner (aha)
He lived in a Bluebird
Spelled his name backwards (aha)”

The Fratellis - Baby Fratelli

“I said oh Christ, I told you twice
It's just not easy going through all these things thrice
What's this I once heard, you drive a Bluebird
You got no money for the petrol, that's what I heard”

(Both from the same album, which is odd.)
