The 15 Song Album collection:

3 out 14 don't seem to fit the bill.

04 - Pink Cadillac - Bruce Springsteen
05 - Harley Davidson - AC/DC

Feel free to swap my CB200 (its a model rather than a maker strictly speaking) for

Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers 'Dodge Veg-O-Matic

if that is one of the three you had in mind!

Mind you I have got no idea if Don McLean really meant the bike manufacturer in the song 'Vincent'. Fair play if he did but Mr McLean never struck me as the biker type.

Nope, he was referring to Vincent van Gogh, the artist.

Vincent (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doesn't matter... as the instigator of the titles, I thought "Vincent" was great, one of the all-time greatest motorcycle brands, and my favourite. Alas they're far too rare and expensive for my meagre wallet. It seems there aren't as many brands mentioned in songs as I'd have thought, especially outside North America. Perhaps Europeans have less emphasis on cars/bikes and fewer iconic brands? I'm sure Jaguar is mentioned in a song title somewhere though. I thought of Prince's "Red Corvette" but that's a model, not a make.
 
For a more european flavour swap 'CB200' for "Opel Gang" by Die Toten Hosen.

It is the only european song I can think of with a car maker in the title but I like to stick to songs I actually own.

Jaguar is mentioned in a Madness song but not in the title.
Generally I think cars and bikes are simply not important enough to write songs about.
