RE: Tube amp for car anyone?

My home pre-amp uses 6GM8 tubes at 24v. These tubes were originally designed for car amps. I've always wondered if the "GM" designation for the tubes was for General Motors or just another random assignment.

But no, not looking for tubes. A class D amp seems like it would be best as they use the power more efficiently than class A/B. And while not to everyone's taste, I find them to be fairly clean sounding.
