Can we draw up a comprehensive list of car names, that are place names?
To kick off the list, a few off the top of my head:
Riley 9 Monaco
Kaiser Manhattan
Mini Chelsea
I'm sure there are many more obscure and exotic examples out there to add??

And Mini Mayfair and Kensington, plus probably a few more! |

I hesitate to mention the Austin Montego for fear of misreprestation .... the AA and RAC used to refer to the Motorway hard shoulder as Montego Bay! 
On second thoughts considering the soaring crime rate in Montego Bay perhaps it is appropriate after all.  |

To be pedantic these were called "Californian" (with an "n"). Not sure if this qualifies for a "place" then 😊

Well I included a river and nobody complained so I guess so and I'll add another one:

I wonder if Sierra is too general?
