Quote #10
"Avtomobil', kostiyum—nu pryamo amerikanets (a veritable American), pryamo Ayzenhauer!" said Varvara, and introduced Pnin to Roza Abramovna Shpolyanski. (5.3.3)
This quote is from the moment that Pnin arrives at Cook's Castle with his car. There he is surrounded by other Russian émigrés, so it is probably the only time he will ever hear himself called a veritable American. Pnin might be one of the most American amongst this group, but once he gets out of that environment no one would call him an "Ayzenhauer." (Get it? Eisenhower!)
