- Orphan (car)
-
The term orphan car accurately applies to any marque of motor vehicle built by a manufacturer that has discontinued business entirely. (The term is sometimes inaccurately applied to a discontinued marque from a still-existing vehicle manufacturer (i.e. Oldsmobile) or a sub-marque (i.e. Thunderbird.) In the case of a revived marque where a newer company resuscitates a discontinued brand (i.e. Maybach), only the original vehicles are accurately considered orphans.
