Mistral is a name given to a weapon
Sirocco is a name given to a car
Levant is the land.

Interesting how names appear in products.

what about Zephr

 

[oriental]

I don't claim to know everything. Wish I did or maybe not as it would mean endless headaches. Zephyr for a car? I think I have seen that name. I am not a car fanatic though. I was more into trains as a kid just like Frank Sinatra who bought a toy train set when he became famous.

My first car was a Zephyr. No joke. Looked like a shoebox on wheels.

It ran great though. I miss that bucket of bolts.

**EDIT**
That was a Mercury Zephyr (1981 or '82) and I got it used. I realized after I posted this that there are other car makers that used the name Zephyr and most are much older than the Mercury version.

I'm old, but not ancient! Not yet anyway...

Zephyrs sound like the old "box" Volvos.
