Over the years, car and plane manufacturers have used common names for their respective models.
e.g. Chevrolet Greyhound and Cessna Greyhound.

I got to about 50 using U.K., European and U.S. car manufacturers.
General aviation aircraft and airliners are included in the aviation section.

How many can you find?
I'll stick to airliners ... herewith a pair of Lockheed names
  • Starliner (L-1649) -- Ford
  • Electra (Model 10, Model 14, and L-188) -- Buick

a separate category for the many non-transport-category military aircraft might also be interesting ... so speaking of that, and as long as I'm talking about Lockheed ...
BONUS QUESTION: a military derivative of the Model 14 Electra actually bore the same name as which auto manufacturer?
