The Star Trek (Trekkie) connection
Years ago, Ryan Connell told Allpar about the names shared between Chrysler and Star Trek ships. Star Trek had the names first more often than not; but Chrysler was (I believe) first with Valiant, Voyager, Challenger, Concord, and Dakota (Challenger was, incidentally, quite clearly based on the space shuttle, but who knows how that name was chosen?). I would appreciate guidance from any hard-core Trekkies out there; I am not hard core, and I had to do a good deal of searching to fill out this list.
Aries (shuttlecraft, K-car)
Avenger (early ship from “prequel” series; Hillman car, then Dodge badge for Eclipse, then Dodge sedan)
Challenger (CGI-generated ship, famed Dodge muscle car, badge also used on a Mitsubishi)
Concord (alternate timeline ship; AMC “upscale compact”; as Concorde, big 1990s Chrysler)
Cordoba (I couldn’t find any actual starship so I think this was just brought up because Ricardo Montelbain did the commercials)
Dakota (heavy cruiser, might have only been in games; and Dodge midsize pickup)
Eagle (from the movies; AMC car, then brand assigned to ex-AMC/ex-Renault cars)
Horizon (the ship whose people made “mobster planet” and a 1970s-80s subcompact hatch)
Intrepid (full-size ship; 1990s full-size car)
Reliant (smaller ship, K-car)
Saratoga (full ship; name used on European version of Dodge Spirit)
Talon (Eagle version of Mitsubishi Eclipse; not sure of Star Trek tie-in)
Valiant (big ship; Chrysler compact-in-US, big-in-Europe car; Australian car; and spaceship for several episodes in Doctor Who)
Voyager (eponymous ship of an entire series; Plymouth full size passenger van, then Plymouth and Chrysler minivan; in use from 1970s to today)
