Yes, and no.............
Ferrari produced the Dino but wouldn't badge it with the prancing horse logo; proper Ferrari's had 12 cyl engines at the time.
Even the 308GT4 didn't receive recognition as a Ferrari until its' third year of production - when it finally came off the assembly line adorned with the deserved "cavallino rampante" emblems.
The Fiat Dino's were sweet cars in concept. Too bad they had all the good and bad features normally associated with both marques.
Back on topic, Buick has used and re-used the Roadmaster moniker for a long, long time.

Durango was a trim level on the Chevy S-10 in the 80's. Later the Dodge Durango SUV comes along.
Explorer was an option pkg on Ford pickups before the Suv came along.

So far most of these posts are just pointing out "sister" models. Not the same as actual model names, just re-badging by "mother" companies.
