...Wow. That's fascinating - pretty much every brand is named after the creators surname. Great images btw.

Hi Justin!

Thanks for dropping by! ^_^

Yeah, almost every car was named after the creator, only a few unique ones like Jaguar isn't.

I hope I can dig some information about those cars that are named not after the creator. ^_^

Cheerio!
