My wife asked me a question I couldn't answer. Were Triumph motorcycles
"owned" by the same company that built the Triumph line of cars, or did they
just
share a common name?

Originally, Triumph began making bicycles, then motorcycles were added, then
cars. The bicycle and motorcycle lines were sold off in the 1930s.

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
