Names they give cars has always fascinated me.

In the beginning they were simply "Chevrolet" or "Ford" or "Kaiser". Then they subdivided that into "Model A", "Chevy Coupe", "Plymouth Sedan".

At some point we got geographic - "Park
Avenue", "Scottsdale", "Grenada", "Riviera".
Suggestive but not actual locations like -
"Colony Park". "New Yorker" and "Acadian"
seem to suggest the driver is FROM those
areas.

Astronomical - "Comet", "Nova", "Galaxy",
"Astro", "Aerostar".

At some point we got animals - "Cougar",
"Mustang", "Bronco", "Pinto", "Barracuda".
Kind of seems like trucks almost stayed alpha numerical forever "C10", "F100", "S-10" etc.

Those seem like the only model names that
made any sense. You could tell if a truck was
half, 3/4 or 1 ton by the model in all three
major brands. But then there was "Avalanche", "Luv", "Silverado", "Colorado".

We went Ole' with "El Camino" and "Ranchero". Dodge "PowerWagon" was kind of a left turn.

At some point we went nuts with alpha-
numericals on cars - "240Z", "B210", "CR-Xsi", "CT-200h", "ZC-70/90", "Q5", "Q7", "QX56".

Combinations of words with alpha-numerics - "Galaxy 500xl".

I think some names didn't mean anything -
"Celica", "Corolla", "Altima", "Beretta",
"Berlinetta", "Dino".

Some names are words but they don't really
mean anything descriptive -"Accord", "Marquis Brougham", "Escalade", "Continental", Prelude", "Alliance".

Macho and a little less macho names like
"Blazer" and "Jimmy". Names that suggest the driver is something special - "Acclaim", "Celebrity", "Ambassador", perhaps "Fair Lady", "Player", "Fit".

Combination words - "Trans-Am", "Grand-Am". "Grand" seemed like a suffix on a lot of things "Marquis Grand", "Grand Voyager", Grand Cherokee", "Grand Prix". Likewise "Supreme" was a suffix put on many models so that your neighbors could drop their jaw knowing you paid much more for electric windows and a vanity mirror. Or for the truly grotesque and snooty "Cadillac Seville Grandeur Opera Coupe". Putting an "e" on the end of words like "Grande", "Towne", Coupe" seems to jack the price and status up considerably.

Lots of 2nd versions - "Mustang II", "Bronco II". "Fury II" (and "Fury III".

Just about any of the above as - "Limited",
some as "Town and Country" or "GT".
Monster Grizwald things like "Vista Cruiser",
"Estate Wagon". Honda, when they first made cars had a "Sedan" and a "Coupe".
"Sumo", "Taurus", "Sienna", "Rabbit", "Honey Bee", "Astro/Safari"

Who knows what next to expect? Maybe african towns, animals or names.... Like Oba, Igwe, Eko, Zulu etc.... Lol
