Make of a Car

Generally, make gets defined as a formation of something done by putting parts together or combining substances. Another word used for this is to create. This definition gives an idea when related to the car. Let us take a simple example, when a kid creates some project such as a box as their school assignment, then we say that that kid made the product. Similarly, we use the term as a situation when we make something out of nothing. Now, moving on to the cars where we fit the situation as explained above, make is the actual owner of the car. For example, when Ferrari make a new car and introduce it in the market, then we say that makers of the car are Ferrari. It is the actual brand name used by the manufacturers that have to give it the shape. From the beginning when the raw material comes and the process in which the creation takes place. It then extends to the level when coloring and the designing part enters into contention. All these processes from start to complete get carried out by the manufacturer of the car. Several famous brands around the world become known as the makers of a car. Some of them are Suzuki PSA Peugeot-Citroën, Honda Motor, Fiat-Chrysler, Ford Motor, Hyundai Motor Group, Renault-Nissan Alliance and General Motors. It is used exclusively for cars and is the first word that gets shown in the description of any automotive that is in the market.

Model of a Car

When we define a model, the definition goes as fashion or shape (a three-dimensional figure or object) in a malleable material such as clay or wax. This definition integrates itself in the automotive industry in a different way. Let us first take a simple example, where a creates some project such as a box as their school assignment, if the guy creates one box first and then make another one with more improvements then we call it the model. First one was different, and the other one is different so to cater that variation, the model part comes in. Most famous brands around the world, which get known as the makers of the car, have several models of the same car, that release in the market every year. Some of them become successful and therefore get known around the world, if that is the case then new models of the same car keep coming every year. If some model is not able to gain much importance, then it gets discontinued in the market. Most important reason for models coming at such speeds is to keep the interest of buyer in the product. If one car originates from one company, then people may get tired and want to buy another brand. Some of the most popular car models in the world are 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 fastback, 1981 DeLorean DMC 12, 1963 Volkswagen Beetle, 1982 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am, 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Ambulance, and 1955 Chevrolet 6700-series bus.
