Here are some more information for Plymouth Duster:

Plymouth cars started life in the United States in 1928. Founded by the Chrysler Corporation and aimed at the lower end of the fledging US car market as a direct competitor to Ford and Chevrolet who at the time shared the lions share of the cheap car market. Plymouth cars although priced in a similar price bracket to the cheaper Chevy's and Fords were deliberately priced just a little more expensive and for this offered more luxurious and advanced features as with external hydraulic breaks fitted as standard. Plymouth cars were first marketed solely through Chrysler outlets the Plymouth motive (logo) was designed to picture a rear view of the Mayflower sailing ship and the Plymouth name was associated with the Mayflowers original landing at Plymouth Rock although the Plymouth cars name was actually derived from farming implements popular at the time.

The original Plymouth car model was taken from one of Chryslers subsidiaries Maxwell Chalmers the more expensive Maxwell car model being reworked for its cheaper and brand new Chrysler 52 eventually after some redesign the car was named the Chrysler-Plymouth Model Q and by 1929 Chrysler had been dropped from the name completely with the start of the new Plymouth U model.

Plymouth sales remained steady throughout the Great depression as those that could still afford as car in those troubled times saw the car as value for money and as such was riding high in terms of sales throughout the great depression. Plymouth cars can in large part be attributed with Chryslers continued survival throughout the great depression. By the start of the 1940s Plymouth cars was nearing 500,000 manufactured and sold each year and by the mid forties for a brief time became number in US car sales even outstripping ford. With the start of the 1950s Chrysler had built Plymouth into a solid well thought of brand desired by the car buying public for its robustness and durability. By the late 1950s production was up around 750,000 cars a year. The 1950s however were to be Plymouths greatest years as with the 1960s and 1970s Plymouth cars rapidly lost popularity with some success such as the 1970s Plymouth Valiant and Plymouth Duster compact car models. Plymouth cars even scored some success in the early 1980s with models such as the Plymouth Reliant 1981 and Plymouth Voyager 1984 but in general Plymouths sales and output continued to fall. Plymouth by the early 1990s had become more of a badge than a carmaker in its own right with models being renamed and packaged from Dodge and Chrysler. The last new model to be introduced by Chrysler Daimler under the Plymouth bade was the Plymouth Neon after which Chrysler Daimler dropped the Plymouth Badge and production was wound down.

There are many Plymouth cars still on the road today with many happy owners who will no doubt be keen to find the best

16 Abbreviated Company Names Explained

 

 16 Abbreviated Company Names Explained

 Dozens of companies use acronyms or initials in their names, but how well do you know what the abbreviated letters mean? Let's take a look at the etymologies behind a few abbreviated company names.

1. CVS

Sorry, drugstore fans, there aren't three fatcat pharmacists with these initials running around out there. When the pharmacy chain was founded in Lowell, MA in 1963, it was known as "Consumer Value Stores." Over time the name became abbreviated to simply CVS.

2. K-Mart

 Longtime five-and-dime mogul Sebastian S. Kresge opened his first larger store in Garden City, Michigan, in 1962. The store was named K-Mart after him. (Kresge had earned the right to have a store named for him; he opened up his new venture at the tender age of 94.)

3. IKEA

The Swedish furniture giant and noted charity takes its name from found Ingvar Kamprad's initials conjoined with a first initial of the farm where Kamprad grew up, Elmtaryd, and the parish he calls home, Agunnaryd.

4. JBL

The speaker company is named after its founder, James Bullough Lansing. But if Lansing had kept his original name, the company might have been called Martini Speakers. Lansing was born James Martini in 1902, but when he was 25, he changed his name to James Lansing at the suggestion of the woman who would become his wife. (The martini was already a popular cocktail at the time, and several of Lansing's brothers had also changed their name by shortening it to Martin.)

5. BVD

The stalwart men's underwear maker was originally founded by a group of New Yorkers named Bradley, Voorhees, and Day to make women's bustles. Eventually the trio branched out into knitted union suits for men, and their wares became so popular that "BVDs" has become a generic term for any underwear.

6. DHL

In the late 1960s, Larry Hillblom was a broke student at the University of California, Berkeley's law school, so to pick up a bit of extra cash, he would make courier runs from San Francisco to Los Angeles. Hillblom would often fly packages to LA on the night's last flight then return to the Bay Area with more packages the following morning.

After he finished law school, he decided the courier business was the real racket for him, so he recruited his pals Adrian Dalsey and Robert Lynn to help him with the runs. Although they started out making their delivery trips in a single Plymouth Duster, the company quickly took off, and they named it after their respective last initials.

7. AT&T

No surprises here. The telecom giant sprang to life in 1885 as American Telephone and Telegraph, although it's now legally known as just AT&T.

8. 3M

The conglomerate behind Post-It Notes gets its name from its roots as a company that mined stone to make grinding wheels. Since it was located in Two Harbors, MN, the company was known as Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, which was later shortened to 3M.

9. H&M

The beloved clothing store began in Sweden in 1947. Founder Erling Persson was only selling women's duds, so he called the store Hennes—Swedish for "hers." Twenty-one years later, he bought up a hunting supplier called Mauritz Widforss. After the acquisition, Persson branched out into men's clothing and began calling the store Hennes and Mauritz, which eventually became shortened to H&M.

10. A&W Root Beer

Roy Allen opened his first root beer stand in Lodi, CA, in the summer of 1919, and quickly began expanding to the surrounding areas. Within a year he had partnered with Frank Wright, and the pair christened their flagship product "A&W Root Beer."

11. GEICO

The adorable gecko's employer is more formally known as the Government Employees Insurance Company. Although GEICO has always been a private, standalone company, its name reflects its original purpose: Leo Goodwin founded the company in 1936 to sell insurance directly to employees of the federal government.

12. YKK

The initials you see on darn near every zipper you own stand for Yoshida Kōgyō Kabushikigaisha, which translates into "Yoshida Manufacturing Corporation." The company is named after Tadao Yoshida, who started the zipper concern in Tokyo in 1934.

13. P.F. Chang's

If you go looking for Mr. P.F. Chang, you'll be in for a long search. The Asian dining chain's name is actually a composite of the founding restaurateur Paul Fleming's initials and a simplification of founding chef Philip Chiang's last name.

14. BJ's Wholesale Club

The bulk retailer is named after Beverly Jean Weich, whose father, Mervyn, helped found the chain as a spinoff from discount retailer Zayre in 1983.

15. ING Group

The banking giant's name is an abbreviation of Internationale Nederlanden Groep, or "International Netherlands Group," a nod to the company's dutch origins and headquarters. The company's heavy use of the color orange in its buildings and promotion is also a shoutout to the Netherlands; orange is the color of the Dutch royal family dating all the way back to William of Orange.

16. H&R Block

Brothers Henry and Richard Bloch founding the tax preparation firm in Kansas City in 1955. Their only problem was their last name. The brothers worried that people would mispronounce their surname as "blotch," hardly a term you want associated with your tax return. They decided to sidestep this problem by spelling the company's name "Block" instead, so that nobody would miss the solid hard "k" sound.
