    I believe that Saint Christopher is the patron saint of travellers, so by extension of motorists.

    It is *now* St Frances of Rome.

    It *was* St Christopher, but he was decanonized in 1968. (He had not been formally canonized to begin with).

    St. Christopher is no longer a saint, though many Catholics still pray for St Christopher's aid and dashboard St Christopher icons are still available.
