Of course there's the Triumph Spitfire and Ford Mustang, but can we name other postwar cars named after or the same as WW2 aircraft? For example, there's Armstrong Siddeley's preference for naming their cars after Hawker Siddeley ww2 aircraft: Lancaster, Hurricane, Typhoon/Tempest and Whitley.

Here's a 1951 Whitley for sale.

As an aside, it's noteworthy that in 1951 when the above car was produced, the USA market was making these:
