The point is the longevity if a name based on a now common feature.
Imagine if Dodge had named a car the "Roll up Window Special" in 1917, and still kept the name decades after every other manufacturer adopted the feature.
That's what I mean.

Omaha, I get it. I don’t think some people know how the Electra-Glide Got its name. It was the electric starter.
The Corvette and Mustang Are not novel ideas. They took out the name Electra-Glide for a few years. I have an Ultra-limited which can be called an Electra-Glide even though the Moco dropped it but now its name is back. Love my ride!

I hope the Electraglide name never retires. I love it. I do think it's odd that a luxury automobile like Mercedes Benz puts a 35 year old innovation (4matic) on their vehicles. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4Matic
I love having a Blue Electraglide.

In 2021, Harley Davidson still sells a model named after a 50+ year old advancement in motorcycle technology. An advancement that long ago became universal.
No other manufacturer would do that. No other manufacturer would dare.
Yet the Electra Glide name continues, proudly rolling into the future.
How can you not love that?
