For the few Suisse cities that gave a name to a car, Ascona (Opel) and Lucerne. The only weird thing is that they use the french way of saying the city of Luzern, were they speaking German 😂

Actually, the Biscayne was discontinued after 1971. The Bel Air took its place and that car remained until 1975.

3:42 If it wasn't for helping China to find a Luxury car brand, GM Should have Killed off Buick and kept Pontiac. The Montana name could've been named for Pontiac's large crossover 3rd row seat SUV similar to the Chevy Traverse or something more special.

Whereas Australians, despite being pretty good at geography as a rule, will have had little idea of many of these. I got the Fairmont (AU), Le Mans, Montego, Monaco & Bentley Mulsanne right.

That was fun, and I enjoyed that clip from "Schoolhouse Rock!" Some others that come to mind are the Pontiac Phoenix, although I suspect it was named after the mythical creature, the Plymouth Sapporo and the Pontiac Ventura.

Pleased to say i got the Cortina just from the bob sled intro. Sold well in Australia helped by the Cortina GT versiond winning the 1963, 64 and 65 Bathurst 500 mile race , even up against Studebaker V8 and much more poweful six cylinder cars. Also got the Monaco and Bonneville from the intro.

Another obscure one is the Austin Kimberley. Obscure even to UK Austin fans and even in Australia where it came from. Named after a remote Australian region where gold and diamond discoveries were in the news in the early seventies when the short lived car was launched. One of the few front wheel drive cars with a transverse straight six. To satisfy Australia's preference for straight sixes.

The '68 Pontiac LeMans was designed by Anatole Lapine, a Latvian immigrant to the United States. He later left GM and went to work for Porsche, where he designed the 924 and 928. If you look at a 928 carefully, you will see a tiny amount of '68 LeMans in the design, especially at the rear.

That Cordoba looks like a Monte Carlo. I thought for sure you'd mention Monte Carlo and when you were talking about the Avalon, I thought you were going to say Catalina. And when you were talking about the Biscayne, I thought you'd say Daytona, though the Bay part took it out the running. And instead of 5th Avenue, I thought you were going to say Park Avenue. Would Fairlane have qualified, since that was Henry Ford's estate? You could have easily done this as models in the US, only.

The Fairmont was close to Fairlane in name. And Ford Australia for run it from 1965-2007.
