The Plymouth car brand name was inspired by the Pilgrims, but also by a famous company that operated in the Massachusetts town and sold products to its target market.

The original Plymouth logo featured an image of the Mayflower.

According to Chrysler's official history, the company's vice president of sales, Joe Frazer, hitched the company's prospects to another famous brand.Frazer suggested the name Plymouth because the farmers they were trying to reach with the low-priced models were familiar with the products of the Plymouth Cordage Co. of Plymouth, Massachusetts, which was the world's largest producer of rope and twine, with much of it used in the agriculture industry.
