Confederate, From Middle English confederat, allied, from Late Latin cōnfoederātus past participle of cōnfoederāre, to unite, Latin com-, com-, + Latin foederāre, to unite (from foedus, foeder-, league; see bheidh-).]

Ally, unite; maybe this is why they picked the name?

"Oakie" cars just seemed to go with the same time period of the dust bowl.
