I always liked names written on cars when I was younger.  A led sled would have something like "Moonlight Madness", or a fast car might be "White Lightning".  It seems that song titles like "Blue Velvet" were popular if they fit the car.  I simply refer to my truck as the race truck, but lots of others call it the "Flying Yellow Brick".

My wife names my cars for me. She called my 55 Club Sedan "Nellie" before I sold her (the car, I mean). My wife always said that the 55 was my "other wife". What she is going to call my 55 Sunliner I have no idea. I've got so many Y blocks laying around the garage now, she is about to just start calling.......

( *Ole flame* ) and Ole Nelle. It is black and white as well.

Well, I didn't name my car, but the man I bought it from owned it from 1958-2005.  When I was pulling out with it on my trailer in S. California, he said Bye "Ol Black"...so out of respect, I guess it is still Ol Black.

I don't name them anymore but of course we all did back in the 50s.My first "real" licensible car was a 53 Pontiac Catalina that I bought on my 16th birthday in 58.It was a light yellow color so after some shaving and lowering an artistically inclined friend painted Ol' Yeller on the side.

For the youngsters out there Ol' Yeller was a Disney movie about an old yellow dog,which described that straight 8 Hydramatic Pontiac to a T.
