Before WWII there was a huge number of car makers. In the depression of the 30s a lot of them went out of business. Some that made it into the post-war era eventually failed.
One car brand per comment. Lines within a brand don't count, e.g. Chevy Bel Air. Violation of this rule will result in a very annoying, repulsive looking, and hard to get rid of skin condition. Bear this in mind.
Here's one to get started: Auburn, Cord, Deusenberg

I'm afraid I'll screw this up, as I don't really understand car brands. I don't think I could handle an annoying skin condition today.
I would have to come hunt you down and skin the frog. Think I'm kidding?
What about those AMC Gremlins... what a terrible ride in the back seat!
An example would be Delahay, this was a small manufacturer of fine cars.
Also, Tucker would fit this game.

I could go on

Dort became the first President of General Motors Corporation after Durant formed it in 1908. He also became a director of Chevrolet when Durant bought that in 1912.
In 1904, Buick Motor Company of Detroit was dissolved, and Buick Motor Company of Flint was organized. One of the first people that Durant hired to help in the Buick company was an associate in the carriage trade named Charles W. Nash.

It is interesting to me that I have grown up knowing the backgrounds of the big automakers. I live here, Flint was where I was born. It's kinda common kknowledge around here how the auto industry all came together.
I don't even think that most people know that at one time, all the key players were intertwined. It's actually an amazing story, if you take toime to research it( the article I referenced above explains it all pretty well, actually.
(yay! more points for Nippy!)
Chevy Lumina is another.
