Shawna Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 My brother-in-law and nephew are die-hard Chevrolet fans, and work for dealerships. Andy is a die-hard Ford fan. I'm just curious how many different songs there are with either Ford or Chevy mentioned in them? Give the song/artist and the line with Ford or Chevy. "I was taking a trip out to L.A.

Shawna Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Looks like Chevy's winning here... I wonder if it's because it's a more poetic word, or if it's because it's a more popular manufacturer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Chevy scans a lot better than Ford, and is just more fun to say. It's much more lyrical, but Ford does sound Tough, which serves them well for marketing purposes. Chevy ran an ad campaign a few years ago pointing out some of the Chevy songs and reminding people that they don't write songs about Toyotas.
