I like that Wikipedia site... you can find lots of info there. Interesting to find that RCA and JVC started out as being related.
Regarding radio brand names... they weren't the only part of the radio influenced by autos. The styling and trim of the radio was in many ways similiar to the American automobile. This was also evident on house-sets... not just portable transistors.
I think Compucat is right... those brands were just companies that someone came up with overnight... buying the actual radios from someone else and badging it with their "cool" sounding name.
