On the meaning of the word "Belevedere"

[KENTON]

I heard beautiful view in french. But they were named after hotels Belvedere, Savoy, Plaza All hotels.

I am not sure why they named it why they did! I was just surprised and kinda not surprised at the Italian meaning! But it seemed fitting all the same! Some people have replied as to the real reason it was called the Belvedere!

Sonny says, Bella verde. Specifically, the feminine adjective/noun bella means "beautiful" in this context

Yes the cars were named after hotels. The origin of the word Belvedere is Italian

My 1966, Bel-I [hemi/4-speed], was a racecar since new. The odometer shows 1168 miles.

Are they the same car?

I always thought the Belvedere name was from the Belvedere Il assembly plant. Interesting they must have named that town after the car.

Yeah, except the IL town is spelled Belvidere. Interesting, though.
