Car making must have been very simple in the early days. Ford made several models and named them alphabetically until he hit the letter "T" and the car really took off. A lot of early manufacturers followed a simple formula for naming their vehicle models. They may not have been memorable or poetic, but it was efficient enough at a time when only a handful of companies were even doing it. But time has a way of changing your perspective, and with so many new makes and models, things eventually had to expand.
Ford still uses simple numeric numbering for things like their F-series truck, but also once had a habit of naming cars in a personal way. It named the Fairlane for Henry Ford's estate in Michigan. It named the Edsel for his son. Lamborghini names its vehicles for fighting bulls. Pagani likes to name cars after wind currents. Every car company has a car or two named after animals from the Mustang to the Pantera to the Impala and the Viper. Even plants make a showing with the Corolla and the Leaf. The hard part is keeping them all straight. Is that Leaf made by Nissan or Hyundai? Was the Pantera an Alfa Romeo or a De Tomaso? If you think you have them all down, take the quiz!
