The 500 was an attempt to throwback to that car. It failed.
Ford renamed the 500 back to Taurus, right ? Yes, the 500 was/is too big, much bigger than the old Taurus more inline with the old Galaxie.
One Japanese make has all new model names, all old models didn't do very well. Mazda dropped all old names: 929, 626, 323 ... All current model names didn't exit in the 80's and probably 90's, except Miata.
