Not the group-groups named after CARS.
I played in 3: The Galaxies, The Catalinas, and The Skylarks (although OUR Skylarks were named after my Gibson amp). Other bands in the area were: The Malibus, The Lancers, and The Rivieras (who pre-dated the "WarmCalifornia Sun" group).

Re: The Cars
I forgot "The Jaguars", and I know they weren't named for the Fender guitar, because they were a "Gibson" band and played matching Cherry SG's-even the bass player. They also had those funky mid-60's "trapezoid" Gibson piggyback amps.
