Sorry, Buick was Marquette. Lafayette was a Nash.
There were Canada only brands too - as well as a whole horde of
different Model names that were not their own division.

Ford and Lincoln Mercury still co-exist on paper, I believe, but ther
are no longer Lincoln Mercury dealers. Only Ford dealers now.

Chev/Olds /Cadillac will be Chev/Cadillac, while Pontiac Buick still
co-exists.

Chrysler? I believe Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep are now all one division of
Daimler Chrysler, with Plymouth out of the mix. In the early Sixties
Valiant was it's own brand, not a model, as was the Imperial.

Model names that have dissapeared include Neon, Continental, New
Yorker, Coronet, Charger, Satelite, Acadian, Beaumont, Canso, Polara,
and hundreds more
