The inhabitants of Sigma Iotia II used automobiles patterned after those described in Chicago Mobs of the Twenties. Captain Kirk managed to operate one of those vehicles after remembering the relationship between the clutch and the gears. (TOS: "A Piece of the Action")

When B'Elanna Torres expressed an interest in learning how to drive a 1969 Mustang in 2375, Tom Paris warned her that the clutch could be tricky. (VOY: "Someone to Watch Over Me")
