What car was named after its inventor?

The Mercedes-Benz brand is named after its inventor, Karl Benz, who created the first true automobile, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen, in 1886. The name "Mercedes" comes from one of the company's early models, named after Mercedes Jellinek, the daughter of an influential automobile dealer. The merging of Benz’s company with Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft in 1926 resulted in the formation of the Mercedes-Benz brand, which continues to honor both inventors' legacies.
