From the corporate GM next website;

"The 1954 Oldsmobile Cutlass Concept took its name from the military Chance-Vought Cutlass, a Navy fighter plane. The aviation theme was prevalent throughout the Cutlass. Instrumentation resembled aircraft instruments, rather than being located across the dashboard in conventional style, the instruments started at the center of the dash panel, extended vertically to the floor, and then were placed along the transmission tunnel, dividing the seat compartment."


Pretty cool name origination, I never knew.
I thought it was the sword becuse it sort of looks like one on some of the emblems, maybe it's a stylized rocket.

Now what was the jet named after?
