1955, Murray Weingarten, Life in a Kibbutz: The Only Book of Its Kind in English Chapter The Promise of the Future, One of my kibbutz jobs has been to drive a tractor. As a matter of fact I got the same sort of a thrill from it at first as I got from driving that Chevvy when I first earned my New York driver’s license. But as the General Motors people will probably be proud to confirm, “any dumb cluck can drive a Chevvy.”
1975, w:Robert Lipsyte, SportsWorld: An American Dreamland Chapter Designated Heroes, Ranking Gods, All-Star Holy Persons, Can’t drive but one car at a time, I eat only one meal a day. Clothes. You see I don’t care about clothes. When I first came down here I saw this millionaire, I wondered how he could wear such cheap suits and drive a Chevvy. Now I understand. He knew he got it.
2016, Liz Cowley; w, Serial Damage Chapter Putney, London, ‘You ride a motorcycle, don’t you?’ Oliver was puzzled by the question. ‘I have two bikes at home. One’s an old Indian ‘Scout’ – in bits. I’m slowly rebuilding it. The other’s a Harley, which I ride to work if the weather’s good. The rest of the time I drive a Chevvy.’
