I was wondering if anyone here knew how Plymouth came up with the name "Duster".
 
I had heard Plymouth wanted to do something with the Tasmanian Devil also...because the road Runner cartoon was so popular...but for some reason they couldn't make it happen so Plymouth came up with Duster swirl.

Also Speaking of names, it has been written that Dodge "Demon" was originally called the "Beaver". We all know that the Demon was Politically incorrect and offended some so the name was changed to "Sport" for 1973.
 
Thanks for all the info guys! Can't believe Dodge even considered calling their version of the Duster the "beaver",wonder who the genius was who thought that up.

That makes sense,the swirl kind of reminds me of the Tasmanian devils tornado swirl in the cartoons.

P.S. Love the Christine icon.
