My father often repeated the story of Norwegian/American neighbors of his youth in Northeast Minneapolis, who were proud owners of an Overland. What my father repeated was their frequent boast, "Ve can't dress up on Sundays, but ve can drive Overlands, though." I heard this from my father almost every Sunday as our family, all dressed up, went out the door on our way to church.
The "Overland" smoke stack was still standing in Toledo, Ohio when I drove through there a couple of weeks ago.
Overland + Willys = Willys-Overland --> Willys.
Kaiser-Frazer --> Kaiser.
Kaiser + Willys = Kaiser-Willys.
Nash + Hudson = American Motors (AMC).
AMC acquires Jeep upon demise of Kaiser-Willys.
Chrysler acquires AMC, murders same, becomes step-parent of Jeep.
Mercedes-Benz + Chrysler = Daimler-Chrysler, which, after divorce, dallies with some holding company, then "merges" with Fiat.
So, your Viper may contain a screw or washer originally designed for the Overland pictured!
The range of extinct auto brands is remarkable. Please continue to showcase these vehicular dinosaurs. Do you have a photo of a Michigan?
[Rest assured that there are more (many more!) of these in the pipeline. As for a Michigan, we'll see what we can do. - Dave]
