This can include both marques and models....
Just off the top of my head:
Studebaker Dictator, sold in the 1920s...not surprisingly, the name was dropped in the 1930s.
Gasmobile, sold in the very very very early 20th century. Well, not dated yet, but just imagine if the brand was still around today now that electric cars are the next big thing.....
Orient, early 20th century car brand....a pretty much obsolete word.
Acme, sold in the 1900s. Looney Tunes has killed any chance of a modern car with that name.....yes, acme was a real word, Google says it meant "the point at which something is at its best or most highly developed." How many people today even know it is a real word?
Are there any other cars whose names are dated?
(Note: half-asleep as I post this, I hope I made no mistakes).
