Why is Betsy a common name for a car?

Answer 1

because harrald robbins wrote a novel "The Betsy" which was about a car company ...i think it was a movie also...very good!!! THE BETSY was about a failure of a dream much like the "Tucker" car....a man designs a car and builds a factory and after 10 cars the whole thing colapses somehow...

Has it got anything to do with 'Sweet Betsy From Pike'?:

Oh don't you remember sweet Betsy from Pike,
Who crossed the wide prairie with her lover Ike,
With two yoke of oxen, a big yellow dog,
A tall Shangai rooster, and one spotted hog?

Sad to reveal my family used to sing this while driving to the Texas coast on vacation and yes, I think we called the car Betsy.
