I guess it depends on the college and the distance between home and campus, but most people don’t bring a car to campus. In my opinion, it’s pointless to have a car at Harvard as it’s a major pain to drive in Boston. Also, I don’t think people at HYP would necessarily know how to dress. They certainly didn’t at MIT (though obviously HYP-ers probably pay more attention to their clothes on average.) So things like differences in wealth wouldn’t necessarily be noticed at all.

In fact, I think the people without wealth are probably more sensitive to markers of wealth than people who are reasonably affluent. By “reasonably affluent,” I mean the children of professionals. I have no experience with people who summer at the Hamptons and have private planes, etc.
