Yes
Amelia's Lockheed Vega 5 was called 'Little Red Bus' but she often referred to it as 'old bessie'
She had 4 different planes. The one she disappeared with was a small airliner converted to her specifications. It was a Lockheed Electra, wingspan 55 ft, length 38 ft 7 inch.
She named only two of her planes, maybe they were her favorites. The first aircraft she owned was a yellow Airster. She called that "Canary". Later on she had red Lockheed Vega in which she created many records and won many races. This was named "Little red bus".
Old Bessie was the name of the airplane she crashed in. The model was kind of like those planes that they used to make in the mid 1900's.
The Lockheed Electra that she disappeared in was not very much different than today's small private planes. These days they carry an ELT which locates a plane after a crash, and often GPS which may have prevented them getting lost . -However neither of these devices existed in 1937.
Amelia Earhart flew several planes during her aviation career, including the Kinner Airster, the Lockheed Vega 5B, and the Lockheed Electra 10E. Her most famous aircraft was the Lockheed Electra, which she piloted during her ill-fated around-the-world flight in 1937. Other notable planes include the Avro Avian and the Travel Air 6000. Each aircraft played a significant role in her pioneering contributions to aviation.
Amelia started in Kinner Field, LA and after that flew planes all over the US and sometimes in Europe .
