57 Chevy

Given the name of this drink you would think it belongs to the classic transportation era and was created during the 1950's, 1957 to be more precise. However, this drink belongs to the southern comfort era and is much more recent than you may believe. Here is an early printing:

"'57 Chevy What a cool way to bring back the good old days of the fifties. 1 SERVING 21⁄2 cups cubed pineapple 2 tablespoons vodka 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier 2 tablespoons Southern Comfort Place the pineapple in the juicer"

This drink appears in literature rarely prior to 2000, and suddenly explodes into modern american drinking culture as seen in these publications:
