But long after the Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar aero engine.

Using engine names, there a few more from Armstrong Siddeley. Of the top of my head, Panther Cars, Sunbeam Tiger and in the dying throes of the company, the Lea-Francis Lynx.

The Armstrong Siddeley Sapphire was both a car and an aero engine, and in the same time frame.

Yeah...I sorta knew that. But an opportunity to mention an interesting aeroplane.

I used to have a rust heap that started life as a minivan. It was long in the tooth and held together by speed tape. My mate called it the Pitts. I told him to Stampe it out or he was walking home. It was not Lightning fast, but plodded along like the Albatross. It ate brake shoes like a Gannet as they needed full size 12's for any effect. I used to carry stuff for a friend and the back looked like a farmer's car. I called it my Ag-Truck.

Now I'm off to the pub to calm down.

Volkswagen Caravelle too I believe.

preceeded by the Nash Ambassador


(any Nash aeroplanes or Alpha motorcars?)

There was a Nash Airflyte, a Hudson Terraplane, but no Hudson Aeroplane.

Regarding "Alpha", do you mean Alfa as in Alfa Romeo?

I thought there WAS a Hudson aeroplane, about 3,000 of them. Or have I misunderstood something here? I sense that I probably have!

I was listing same model names not manufacturers. Yes indeed there was a Lockheed Hudson and Hudson was an automobile manufactuer. There was a small-scale, (amateur), American airframe builder named Hudson, they made a single model 2-2-E "Thing", and VW also made an automobile called the "Thing". Ford made Ford aeroplanes, SAAB made SAAB aeroplanes, but I am looking for model names. There was also a (Paul) Nash Aeroplane Company formed in 1928 in Illinois, but he built only one aircraft, the model N.

an Alpha model of motor car for the Northrop Alpha aeroplane

The Ford F1 pickup truck was renamed F100 in 1953 following the introduction of the North American F100 Super Sabre earlier in the same year.

My neighbour has a Mustang* and not seen it airborne yet, but at ground level it's pretty fast - as to be expected of a 5 ltr engine.

* .. Ford, not North American!

Yeah, about the Mustang... See post #3, page 1 of this thread.

LKF: During Ford's initial marketing sessions, the idea for naming the car the Mustang originated from the P-51 Mustang aircraft, not the wild horse. Logos, badges, image and copy-write considerations came into play, resulting in the horse symbol.

Mooney Aircraft also made a Mustang, the Mk.22 Mustang PC, (pressurized cabin). Introduced just a few months after the first Ford Mustang car. Unlike Ford, Mooney built only 36 Mustangs between 1965-1970, and again, unlike the Ford Mustang, the Mooney Mustang more or less bankrupted the company.

Convair Metropolitan - Nash Metropolitan

"Metropolitan" is listed on post #56, page three of this thread.

FYI The Cessna Citation line also has a Mustang, a VLJ designated the 510, which was an old Datsun nameplate in the North American market. (Yes, the Chevy Citation has already been posted).

Convair (General Dynamics) made a single prototype named "Charger", but Dodge, (Chrysler Corp. under various names), has made thousands upon thousands of Chargers.

Convair made the F-106 "Delta Dart", not a "Delta" nor a "Dart". Dodge made a "Dart" and Oldsmobile made a "Delta 88", so not an exact match for the thread's theme.

When is he going to replace the horse badge with the aeroplane one?

Daimler also called their SP 250 a "Dart" but didn't use the name in countries where Dodge used the name.

It wasn't through choice - Dodge threatened them with legal action. They abandoned the Dart name altogether, it was the SP250 everywhere.


Presumably the Nash and Rambler Ambassador were basically the same car? I had a vague idea Nash became Rambler which was sort of right when I looked it up.
I'm now wondering why a small English boy would have been aware of that around 60 years ago - and remembered it!
