Optimizing the Optima

This is the Optima Super that I call The Belle of the Insurgency. You may recognize her from my book.


When I found her in 2011, she was a sorry sight and needed a long bath in Evaporust before she could be used and repainted.

Recently, I keep noticing Kia Optimas ... and this gave me an idea.

You can easily find an Optima emblem on eBay.




Not bad, huh?

This got me thinking: how many other names are shared by typewriters and cars?

I came up with the following list. Can you add to it?


88
Champion
Citation
Coronet
Corsair
Cougar
Electra
Invicta
Malibu
Mercury
Monarch
Newport
Passat
Special
