Did any of the cars that the astronauts drove on the Moon have names?
The first lunar lander was called the Eagle. Did the cars have names? GM built the cars. Did they give them a model name?

OK, so Boeing was the prime contractor. But Delco is part of GM, right?

All i can say is that the first time we used WHEELS on the Moon was in the mission of Apollo 15. They called or call this "car" LRV, which means Lunar Roving Vehicle.
