I think I remember someone saying that each city had a major contribution to
the program, but I don't have all of the names, and don't remember anyone
mentioning Pico Riviera, or Palmdale (where the plane was assembled). For a
while, the company gave out pictures of each one as it was delivered, with a
mention of the city, but, for some reason, I only have about 7 of them.

And the 'Spirit of Washington' was named after the state, not the ciddy.

Most are named for states, there's a list about 2/3 down this page:
