Literary analysis:
Among the limited examples where “new car” is invoked not literally but as an expressive color quality, one stands out for its playful, almost metafictional tone. In example [1], for instance, the phrase “new car‐new color‐new everything!” is used to evoke a sense of modernity and pristine brilliance, as if the very hue of a freshly manufactured automobile encapsulated all that is fresh, sleek, and invigorating. Here the “new car” is not merely a vehicle but an idealized splash of modern color—a metaphor for the sheen and allure associated with technological progress. This use of “new car” as a color symbolizing desirability and cutting‐edge style underscores how even in literature, contemporary motifs can be repurposed to paint vivid, culturally resonant images.
  1. “New horn?” “No, new car-new color-new everything!” said Garrigan.
    — from The Golf Course Mystery by Chester K. Steele
