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.......

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 first 56 ford victoria back in 1959 had the Midnight Special written on the rear quarter,like a dummy i junked it in 1965.probably a better car than the one i have now before i restored it.  Carl   Ohio 

We considered Skunk for awhile but for the two weeks leading up to the decision, I had trapped and relocated eight skunks that were digging up the yard I had just about all the skunks I could stand.

When i was cruising the streets in my 1st 56 customline, wild violet metallic paint, dechromed with 8" chrome rims and  cutout radiused rear wheel archs looking to race, there was allways a mean looking 56 sedan lowered etc with " KING CREOLE " painted across the front of the hood, allways seemed to emerge at same intersection at night! great era!.

I can relate to that!  Our dogs have got into it with three skunks this last week, that stuff is strong when it is fresh.

Prior to paint my 55 was known as Reacher beacuse it always reached its final destinations.

After paint, my buddy christened it the "Martini Mau Mau" (whatever that means).

My kids used to call my black 850  "Sir Throckmorton" (Norton). I now, very cleverly refer to my red '57 as "The Red Car"! I thought about several parodies of Hoosier Hurricane, but nothing came to mind. John pretty much owns the naming rights in Indiana for F codes.
