[Spridgets] Darts--Daimler and Dodge

[Jim Johnson]

Interesting. But there is a somewhat earlier use of the name "Delta
Dart". In the early 50s Convair built the F-106 "Delta Dart"
interceptor. An aircraft capable of Mach II.  It just might be that
the name pre-dates its use in the car business.

Cheers!!
