Pref::player::block = "DefaultCar"; does not work

Hi,
I've got a pref, $pref::player::block and I want to set the value to "DefaultCar", but that does not work... My code:
$pref::player::block = "DefaultCar";
this sets $pref::player::block to"\c027"...
Does anyone know whats wrong here?

It's used to create a wheeledvehicle:
%car = new WheeledVehicle() {
      dataBlock = $pref::Player::block;
      client = %this;
   };

Try taking out the quotes in the pref

$pref::player::block = DefaultCar;
