Många amerikanska bilar är uppkallade efter..

[Avenger]

Hej!

Tänkte starta en tråd om vad en del USA-bilar är uppkallade efter, och som många vet så är amerikanarna stolta över sitt land och allt vad det innebär!

Jag kör igång i slumpmässig ordning:

Ford Mustang: Uppkallad efter jaktplan, men jaktplanet i sin tur är nog uppkallat efter en häst?
Chrysler Sebring: Sebring står för en racerbana/tävling i Florida
Pontiac: Uppkallat efter en stad i bilstatens hemland, Michigan!!
Jeep Cherokee: Ja det måste ju ha någonting med Cherokee-indianerna att göra?
Shelby Cobra: En orm kanske?
Ford Raptor: En dinosaurier kanske?
Dodge RAM: Många kanske inte vet detta, men RAM betyder egentligen "får", det mäktigaste fåret av dom alla och logon som en del Dodge-bilar använder består då alltså inte av en tjur som kanske många tror?
Chevrolet Colorado: Uppkallad efter staten Colorado i USA
Chevrolet Suburban: Suburban = förort i USA

Mera kommer

Mvh
Jonathan

En liten rättelse.
Ifall man kikar på framförallt lite äldre Pontiac´s så har de nästan alltid en avbild nånstans på den gamla indianhövdingen Pontiac.
"Pontiac, egentligen Obwandiyag, född mellan 1712 och 1725, död 20 april 1769, hövding för ottawastammen.
Pontiac är främst ihågkommen för sina insatser i kampen mot den brittiska ockupationen av området kring de stora sjöarna och då framför allt det uppror 1763 som fått hans namn.
Bilmärket Pontiac uppkallades efter honom."

Shelby är samlingsnamnet för amerikanska bilmodeller tillverkade av företaget Shelby American.
Shelby American grundades av Carroll Shelby. Shelbys mest kända modeller är Shelby Cobra och Shelby Mustang. Även om dessa är baserade på andra tillverkares bilar, räknas Shelby som ett självständigt bilmärke.

Mustang, är som syns på alla Mussar uppkallad efter en häst:
Mustangerna är en hästras som utvecklades i det vilda i USA. De är så kallat förvildade hästar, i den meningen att de har tillkommit från tama hästar men sedan förvildats. Mustangerna är ättlingar till de hästar som européerna förde in i landet, främst från Spanien, efter upptäckten av Amerika i slutet av 1400-talet. Ordet mustang kommer från spanskans mesteño (i Mexiko säger man dock mestengo) som betyder vild eller bortsprungen, vilsen. Ordet mesteño härstammar även med största sannolikhet från ett latinskt ord mixtus med betydelsen att blanda, då vilda häststammar oftast tillkom genom blandningar av olika hästar som sprungit bort eller släppts ut i det fria.
Bilmodellen Ford Mustang har lånat sitt namn från denna häst.

Å här ett annat älskat bilmärke, (har själv ägt 5st. Chevy´s genom åren)
CHEVROLET:
Louis Chevrolet, född 25 december 1878 i La Chaux-de-Fonds i Schweiz, död i Detroit, Michigan, 6 juni 1941, var en amerikansk racerförare och grundare av bilmärket Chevrolet. Närmare 100 miljoner bilar med det namnet har tillverkats.
Louis Chevrolet var son till en urmakare och hade fem bröder. 1886 flyttade familjen till Beaune i Frankrike, men kring sekelskiftet reste han tillsammans med två av sina bröder till Amerika. Egentligen skulle de sälja en hembyggd vinpump, men brödernas intresse fokuserades snart på den blomstrande bilindustrin.
Louis fick anställning vid Fiats racingstall, och inledde snart en framgångsrik karriär som racerförare. 1905 utsågs han till Amerikas snabbaste förare, men vann inte det första Indycarmästerskapet, som gick till Barney Oldfield. Chevrolet fick däremot äran att vinna mästerskapets första tävling någonsin. General Motors grundare William Durant fick upp ögonen för den unge fartfantomen, och noterade även att han var en lovande designer och konstruktör. Ett samarbete inleddes, och i mars 1911 provkördes den första av fyra prototypbilar. Den sexcylindriga sportbilen, som kallades Chevrolet Classic Six blev en omedelbar succé, och under premiäråret 1912 såldes 3 000 exemplar. Samarbetet varade dock inte länge. Chevrolet ville satsa på exklusiva sportbilar, Durant ville konkurrera med de billiga T-Fordarna. 1914 lämnade Louis Chevrolet företaget, utan att få varken varumärke eller pengar med sig.
Efter att ha lämnat General Motors startade han tillsammans med brodern Arthur ett nytt företag, som bland annat tillverkade motordelar. Ett samarbete med Stutz inleddes också, men detta företag havererade när den stora depressionen kom.
Louis Chevrolet dog utfattig, och ligger begravd i Indianapolis i USA. Han blev för sina insatser invald i International Motorsports Hall of Fame 1992.
