Message: In the current issue (#95) of Hemmings, "Classic Cars" magazine... They pay tribute to the orphans in a great article. They include our recently deceased Oldsmobile, Plymouth, and Pontiac. Got me to thinking... Could General Motors and Chrysler ever bring those marquees back? Or are they gone, and gone forever?

While GM and Chrysler could revive those names (since they own the names), chances are very slim by Lawrence Kalfayan #42849.1

Lawrence, though you make some good logic, I'm afraid I don't by George Schire #42849.1.1

Ummm car names resurrected...... by Phil Realmuto #42849.1.2

I was referring to the name of an entire make; not model names within that make or marque. I agree by Lawrence Kalfayan #42849.1.2.1

OOOOH sorry my mistake! I didn't catch that by Phil Realmuto #42849.1.2.1.1

"QUESTION"...What is an "ORPHAN CAR?".... by john engelman #42849.2

So Jeep would be an orphan who got adopted? (EOM) by Tom Joyce #42849.2.2.1.1

I look at it this way......... by Jerry Gorsuch #42849.2.3

So Jerr...how do you apply YOUR logic to Studebaker, Packard, American Motors/Nash/Hudson/Rambler/, by john engelman #42849.2.3.1

John, the parents of the "orphans" are the Motor Car Divisions, i.e., by Jerry Gorsuch #42849.2.3.1.1

John, you're wrong as far as the experts say. According to them an orphan is a brand no longer in by Steve Kiraly #42849.2.4

Well Steve and Jerry, you and anyone else who agrees with you, will never convince me of your logic. by George Schire #42849.2.4.1

George, it's not our logic, it's just the way it is. You can disagree all you want, but ..... I'm by Steve Kiraly #42849.2.4.1.1

LOL Steve...why is it "just the way it is?" Because the perverbial "they" say so? by George Schire #42849.2.4.1.1.1
