I think my car needs a name, and was wondering if anyone had anything interesting to imput. It's a '50 Ford Tudor, it's going to be clean and low for now, nuthin radical. I was thinkin maybe "La Cucaracha".

Got a picture?? That'll help with the process!!!

(Though a name dosen't neccessarily have to reflect upon how a car LOOKS...I named my 49 Chevy "Punch Drunk" cuz I've always thought that was a funky sounding term...and cuz people think I'm goofy in the head!!!)

What about going with a quazi-Native-American naming route? You could let your car "earn" it's name, as you work on it and get to know it.

Name it based on it's own unique personality. You know, kind of like giving the car it's own "rite-of-passage."

"El Guano"


Nah, I guess that has already been taken. You gotta admit that name is "The SHIT" though! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Do like me...I would call it "The '50".

It means ugly car.
I named one of my bikes "bitch" because it seems like I have to pay a fourtune just to ride her.
Just a thought.

When I lived in Birmingham, I used to go visit these two OLD black ladies to buy their vintage clothing... they were full of stories. When I went to visit in my 49 Ford when I had just got it, one of the ladies talked about how that was the just like the car her husband (now deceased) courted her in. She just laughed and laughed telling me stories about how he would tell her to get ready cuz he was coming over in ol "Jumpin Judy" to take her dancing. SO my car is named Jumpin Judy in honor of her and her killer stories!

A car should choose it's own name. Just pay attention, yours will reveal it's true name to you in time.

In time it'll most likely be known as "bitch ass piece of muthaf*ckn shit" or "I can't belive I bought this piece of sheet" at least thats what I alway refer to all my FORD product. Now that I own a chevy I refer to it as "Pop can material" or "Punk bitch ass piece of fartherf*ckn shit" sorry for the language but anyone who works on cars and especially FORDs knows my pain. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif OH and I'm not bad mouthing your ride Kat so please don't get affended. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

First, I wouldn't put a name on it that you have to translate or explain to most everyone (do you have a lot of Hispanic speaking people in WY.?). That would get old real quick.
How does your wife/girlfrind feel abou the car? If she says "you think more of that car than you do of me", call it "1st Fiddle" or "First Love". How do you feel about the car? Is it your "Baby", "Tempermental", "Always There", "Too Cool For School"?
Or you can always name if after your wife/girlfrind. They might think that's pretty special.

Name it, Bill or Tommy or George....ANYTHING BUT SUE!!!! Mr. Cash would be proud.

One of my cars I am buidling is BEASTIE 667, Beastie for short. It came about because I was called the 4th Beastie in high school (as in the 4th Beastie Boy). It's a 67 Impala, that's going to have a six speed transmission (hence the 667). Plus all together it's a play on words. Beastie 667 Neighbor of the Beast!

Thought you might like that.

If your name was Bob and you painted it red you could name it Roberts Red Ford.

If we are gonna stay with spanish you could call it Gateando, catting (literaly) or crawling on its belly (actual).

Or this has been run into the ground, but you can put your Eights 'n' Aces on it (make sure the ace of spades is on top) and call it the widowmaker.

If its gonna be low how 'bout slither.

I think song names are cool for cars as long as they have some meaning... for example:

1.) Ball and Chain (Social D) - cool song, refers to the car as long-term relationship and a bit of a burden, implies the car is like your ol' lady.

2.) 8-Piece Box (SCoTS) - the '8' covers the motor (right?) and the Aces-Eights connection, 'Box' covers the car, cool song

3.) Shadrach (B-Boys) - just a really cool name

4.) Almost any ZZ-Top song - Pearly, Lowdown in the Street, Hi-Fi Mama, Certified Blue, etc... except 'Squank'... that one's taken. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

5.) Money Talks (Jason and the Scorchers) - rockin' song about being broke

... etc. What kinda music/bands you listen to?
