VW T1 and Mercedes-Benz W110. Both are commonly known by nicknames derived from features of the bodywork (''Splittie'' and "Fintail/Heckflosse")

BMW Glas 3000-V8 ’Glaserati’ and  1953 ’Studillac’ (Studebaker Commander Starliner with a Cadillac engine installed by Bill Frick Motors).
Both cars have two car brand names merged in their nickname.

Horch 5 HP Phaeton     and     Oldsmobile Curved Dash

because the founders of both makes, August Horch and Ransom E. Olds were dismissed by the companies board and started later a new make with their name in a different version (Audi and REO).

TVR 3      and     Renault 7
as both cars have a model name that is the number of letters used in the brand name.

Though different models, both share the same basic bodyshell.

I'm sorry, but we already had this one:
VW Golf Estate Wagon and Lincoln Zephyr: both cars are named after a wind...

back to the Zephyr Mk4.
