I read someplace that the Oldsmobile Cutlass was named for a British fighter plane. It this true?

I was wondering where the F-85 name came from? Does it have anything to do with the F-85 Saber fighter jet that was around during the Cold War? I always thought it would be nice to make an Oldsmobile F-86 (Super Saber) along the lines of the Buick GN from the 80s. Sort of the answer to the Buick GN that never was. That would be COOL!
