Names for your car........Let's hear em.

.

The Chemical City Coupe

Because I live in Midland Michigan. The home of Dow Chemical and Dow Corning.

Now can anyone help me identify this rash? And why does my puppy have 3 tails???

My roadster is named Mortis. That is the name of the horse Death rides in a popular book series. This car has run over me three times, but she's getting better.
My 54 Chevy truck is the old grey mare, obviously.

No Photos, but I used to drive a '64 Grand Prix with "Asphalt Angel" in Old English script on the rear quarters..........Centurion9

 

The name when its running or the name when it strands me in the middle of nowhere?...

 

cool car!! is that Josh Shaw's art on the insert? looks like his style..

 

The Hulk.

 

The Joker

 

Grand-kids call it "The Chief"! Duh..What else?

 

back to the 60s

 

Codeblu...it's on the tag...it's blue...and fast.

 

Susie, as named by me 8 year old (at that time) daughter.

 

Sorry for big pic.

 

I think most of what I have come up with would probably just get me banned but here's one from way back that was mine.

 

A little bit of background, in Australia we had a Holden (GM) product in the seventies and eighties called the "Statesman" it was the long wheelbase luxo version of our local product. The front clip was interchangeable with other models.

A few years ago I had a one ton pick up with a '71 statesman nose cone, gts front guards (fenders) and statesman doors (for the electric windows)

I used to all it "Monica" - because it had a little bit of older statesman in it!

- Pete.

 

Btw Holden is (was?) exporting our current statesman to the US for use as police vehicles.

 

The Ol' Man, as named by my son when I got it....





It may be OLD, but with it's new 12V system it's like an 80 year old man with a new pacemaker chasing a young skirt!!

 

Yup, That's some of Josh Shaw's work.



Following along the "Chemical City" theme, Josh also painted up the gas tank for me.




He also did some subtle gild pinstriping on the car.

He does awesome work!

My '66 F 100 is named Harriet. My wife called her that one day and I said "why, 'cause Harriet can carry it?" and the name stuck. She's not pretty yet, but she's a reliable work in progress. Also have a 1954 Packard Patrician (newly acquired, needs a lot of love) that is tentatively named Patty.

 

Most of the names I've called my vehicles have involved bloody knuckles and shouldn't be repeated.

 

Mine are generally "flaming hunk of shit" as in "come on, start, you flaming hunk of shit" ...

 

I was either thinking like, Betty Lou Thema Liz, or like my grandfather would say yelling off of his front porch, Maria! It was funny, he called every woman Maria, "Come over here Maria and let me take a look at ya!'

 

I was so touched by the untimely death of a tv character that I had to name my car after him.

His name is Merle.

 

47 pontiac is named "Lucille" after the carwash girl in cool hand luke. C'mon safety pin!

 

Franklinstein

This dead Franklin with REO DNA is being brought back to life in a different form with body parts from two Speedwagons and a couple other Franklin or REO cars. The full story is being told at http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=799746&highlight=reo&showall=1

 

changed my avatar to my pinup on the decklid, but its hard to see. "black magic" witch theme

 

My roadster is either "the roadster" or "the 27". My 51 chevy is "the 51" or "the chevy".

I'm not very creative.

However, my 4 year old niece likes to ride in the "hot rod chebbie"

 

there is Duchess, Murphy and the sexpedition

 

Truck Norris.

Not mine, but I thought it was pretty clever. My friend is putting '92 Dodge diesel drivetrainunder this '72 Forest Service truck. It will be a junk hauler and shop truck.

 

The only time mine gets called a name is when wrenches are being thrown or if were on the side of the road..........other than that they are just hot rods

 

Two weeks ago after inching out a new Challenger, "You bad mother fu*ker".
