Sort of like the Dodge trucks called "Ram Tough" with images of

Interesting. I had not realized that they went back that far.
But then, when that car was new, I was about minus five years old. :-)

The Ram logo may go nearly as far back as the Mack Bulldog - ie. to WW1
or shortly thereafter.

O.K.

The Rolls Royce "Flying Lady" predates WW1 while the Benz "Mercedes" line
only dates to the mid-30s. (The line was named after the Daimler
Chairman's Daughter.)

Perhaps you're thinking of the pentagonal Chrysler Company logo that was
introduced in late 1955 when they announced "The Forward Look" as they
debuted their '57 model as a '56 and stole a march on the rest of the US
auto industry. [The '57s were to have been the last dual headlight models
with the '58s to be the first quad-light models. Chrysler built their
'58s as '57s and stole a march on Ford by being the first to offer a
push-button automatic tranny.]

Aha -- the ones used to make check-mark shaped skids by teens of
the time. :-) I believe that the Edsel (by Ford) was the first of their
push-button transmission cars. :-)

Enjoy,
DoN.
