This article needs attention from an expert in Automobiles. The specific problem is: Lead contradicts body.WikiProject Automobiles may be able to help recruit an expert.(August 2017)
The term orphan car accurately applies to any marque of motor vehicle built by a manufacturer that has discontinued business entirely. The term is sometimes inaccurately applied to a discontinued marque from a still-existing vehicle manufacturer (e.g. Oldsmobile) or a sub-marque (e.g. Thunderbird). In the case of a revived marque, a discontinued one revived by a newer company (e.g. Maybach), only the original vehicles are accurately considered orphans.
