Your ride gatta name?

Mines got given the name 'Zero Tolerance' through the build because everything only just seems to fit

 

People kind of assigned names to my cars for me, like "big blue" for my '67 biscayne or "butternut" for my yellow '67 cutlass. I had a girl I know scold me a little bit for not naming my cars though, so one day I hopped in my laurentian and just before I fired it up the name Lorraine popped into my head so clear that it was like someone spoke it in my ear. So "Lorraine" is the first car I've ever given a real name.

 

Ginger
She is a bread truck so it is very fitting

 

My T bucket I named Teester and my newest is a 52 fleetline project that will be called Flatliner.

I believe that car,truck,vans or what ever that were given name are remembered years later even after they are long gone.I still remember all the local van names from the 70`s.

 

<<< Helen

I did originally call is "susan" after my friends hot mum, but we already called something else that haha.

 

Call our '64 in the avatar "Boris" cause he's bad enough.

 

Cat-Dog, after the cartoon. The painter at my job suggested it because the body is half F1, half Tudor sedan. (half car,half truck). I dunno, I like it.

 

my wife used to call her the "mistress" because of all the time we spent together.

I pointed out to my wife that she's got a sexier "ass" and a "slimmer waist" than most women born in the same year [ 1970 ]

 

4 years worth of 2 diferent bodymen and the car is not done yet... Always in the corner of both shops... Like Patrick Swayze said in Dirty Dancing at the end of the show... "nobody puts baby in the corner!!!!" The car will be called Baby!!!

 

Bankruptcy

 

My 53 stude

 

"nefarious II"

 

I am thinking of naming my current project Cherry Candy. Who doesnt like Cherry candy? Partially because the shop is on Cherry Avenue and the color I have picked is Wild Cherry candy

 

My bolognas got a first name, it's O - S - C - A - R .......


but my cars, not so much.

 

Shit box cause its built from peoples left over shit parts

 

"Gold Diggin' Wench". it came with the car but my wife calls it "Fuzzy"

This one my wife calls the "Green Hornet"

 

Mine 1950 Pontiac is named after a good east coast beer, or a beat up pirate ship, take your pick

 

haha yeah "that pile over there" sums it up pretty good

 

My '26 T is "Josephine".... as that was the name that I found inscribed on the steering column when the 4 layers of paint were removed.. don't know who put it there or why, but I didn't have the heart to change it.

 

I named my 62 Mercury Ol Blue Flame.

 

Lucinda, after Lucinda Williams. Beat to shit but cool as hell.

 

Mine is shitbox. Since it has an IFS.

But damn, it sure does drive good. All day long.

 

Named mine Gum 2 = Tin Man

 

The guys at work would ask me when my car would be finished? My standard answer was "Two Weeks" even when months turned into years, oh ya it'll be done in "Two Weeks"!

 

my 28 RPU project is "The Gherkin" I will also have the word "jerk" striped on the drivers door. So I'll be "Jerk" in the "Gherkin".

 

I was doing the tin work on a friends '74 Nova and it was kind of a beast. As I was working away the name Edna just popped in my head and it wouldn't leave, so I told him and it stuck. Edna we discovered though time was a dirty girl and liked to man handled , all that rubber and playing with her "carburator" was what she asked for! Rob.

 

I simply refer to mine as "the '56", but my friends call it "the Beast."

 

"Tomorrow" ...is always my smartass'd answer.


...what a shame it'd be if it were ever finished.

 

My '57 Chevy pickup's name is Baby. The previous owners called it Baby, and I hear its bad luck to change the name....

 

every car should have a name... my 57 is "the prophet"
