Yes, the logo was to touch on their aircraft engine manufacturing heritage.The BMW emblem, complete with the four colored quadrants, is a spinning airplane propeller.
As in North American F-86 SabreThere was a Buick concept car, the Le Sabre.
I have often seen cars along side the road I would call the "Thud".

Was named in honor of the Ford F-100 half-ton pickup truck.North American F-100 Super Sabre
Thanks for this post. I thought I was losing my mind again.Going back to the Mustang, yes, Lee Iacocca approached North American and actually wanted to use the image of a P-51, not the horse.
North American basically told him to pound sand as they weren't about to have their most iconic aircraft decorate some cheap little Ford. And yes, the mustang was a cheap little car back at the beginning. It's mentioned in several books about Ford and Lee Iacocca wrote about it himself a couple of times.
I remember my Dad, an auto mechanic, saying it was nothing more than a Ford Falcon with a new body.And yes, the mustang was a cheap little car back at the beginning.
So they cleaned it to get it dusty all over again?More recently, there was a TV commercial where they go find a dusty F6F Hellcat in the desert and soon have it looking brand new. They were shown towing it with a pickup truck.

How could they prevent Ford from using it?
Besides, that is the name the UK Air Ministry gave it.
