I'm assuming then that each line is the name of a folder, spaces included. A bit of RegEx would do, as in the code below.

I'm sure the RegEx section could be redone to be cleaner and smaller, but I'm not at that level yet :) so I just did it in seperate steps.

use strict;

my $Car0 = "2011 Chevy Camaro";
my $Car1 = "2011 Dodge Ram Crew Cab Short Bed";
my $Car2 = "2011 Ford F150 Platinum";
my $Car3 = "2011 Ford Flex";
my $Car4 = "2011 Ford Transit";
my $Car5 = "2011 GMC Cargo Van Extended";
my $Car6 = "2011 Hyundai Genesis Coupe";
my $Car7 = "2011 Kia Sol";
my $Car8 = "2011 Nissan Cube";
my $Car9 = "2011 Toyota Prius";

my $OneCar = "";
my $Year = 0;
my $Make = "";
my $Model = "";

push( my @CarInfo, ( $Car0, $Car1, $Car2, $Car3, $Car4, $Car5, $Car6, 
+$Car7, $Car8, $Car9 ) );

foreach $OneCar( @CarInfo )
{
# initialize the variables
    $Year = $OneCar; $Make = $OneCar; $Model = $OneCar;

# drop everything after the Year including the first space char
    $Year =~ s/\s.*//;

# drop the year and the first space char
    $Make =~ s/\d*\s*//;
# drop everything after the Make including the first space char
    $Make =~ s/\s.*//;

# drop the year and the first space char, same as with $Make
    $Model =~ s/\d*\s//;
# drop everything up to and including the first space char
    $Model =~ s/\w*\s//;

    print "$Year\t\t$Make\t\t$Model\n";
}
