Cars named after people

It's not my fault if this is a re-post, it's new to me though and interesting.

The following is a list of some automobiles named after people:
Aston Martin (Lionel Martin),
Audi (August Horch, Latin translation of Horch),
Bugatti (Ettore Bugatti),
Cadillac (Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, founder of Detroit), Chevrolet (Louis Chevrolet),
Chrysler (Walter Chrysler),
Citröen (André-Gustave Citroën),
Daimler (Gottlieb Daimler),
Ferrari (Enzo Ferrari),
Ford (Henry Ford),
Honda (Soichiro Honda),
Lamborghini (Ferruccio Lamborghini),
Lancia (Vincenzo Lancia),
Maserati (Maserati brothers),
Mercedes (Emil Jellinek's daughter Mercedes),
Opel (Adam Opel), Peugeot (Armand Peugeot),
Porsche (Ferdinand Porsche),
Rolls-Royce (Charles Stewart Rolls and Frederick Henry Royce),
Toyota (Sakichi Toyoda).

 

Should the Edsel be on that list? Wasn't it considered a spearate company/division?

 

Yep you're right, looks like they over looked that one. I wonder what others will be found here?

 

Jeez, there's probably hundreds of them. For starters, since this is a Ferrari site, how about the Dino?

 

yep, like the Dino

Should I guess what they named the Rover after?

 

Delorean- John Delorean

 

And the Bricklin.

 

PMT 1000. Philip Michael Thomas 1000, Tubbs from Miami Vice had a Trans Am-based car he created. It was awesome.

 

Bentley was Walter Owens Bentley aka W.O. Bentley
Chevrolet was Louis-Joseph Chevrolet
Buick Was David Dunbar Buick

 

Pagani (Horacio Pagani)

 

Dodge

 

Buick

 

McLaren

 

Are you refering to the machiavelli?

 

Tucker.

 

Mosler and Honda

 

Sorry Doug

AUDI stands for Auto Union Deutsche Industrie. It was a combination of 4 car builders that combined themselves much like GM here. The logo of 4 intertwining rings represents the 4 companies. In their early days they went by the name of Auto Union for short but eventually changed it to AUDI.

Horch was but one of the four.

 

Volkswagen

 

Lincoln (Abraham Lincoln)
Duesenberg (Fred & August Duesenberg)
Renault (Louis Renault)
Opel (Adam Opel)
Datsun (A combination of 3 founder last name initials, Den, Aoyama, Takeuchi)

 

TVR
TreVoR Wilkinson

 

the Alfa Romeo Graduate (named after the Dustin Hoffman character)

 

How about:
Marcos (Jem MARsh and Frank COStin)?
Oldsmobile and REO (Ransom E. Olds)?
Morgan?
