From the movie Gone in 60 Seconds. They had names for all the cars they needed to steal. Eleanor was the name given to the Mustang.

Yup, it came from "Gone in 60 Seconds." Awesome movie and hot car.

I saw a Shelby one of the times I went to Laguna Seca and took pictures with my camera. Here's one of them:
