Re: Model A car names
What I call mine depends on how well it's going or how serious the trouble if it's not. I won't repeat them here!

Re: Model A car names
Before My Dad Got his 29 Sport Coupe he had an 1917 Dodge that he drove during the Depression when he could keep it running.
He Called it "DUN-BUSTED" |

Re: Model A car names
In recent years, I have taken to calling my standard black Tudor "Miss Annie"...mostly as it reminds me of a prim and proper conservative old lady and the name starts with "A"...... and I thought it just ought to have a name starting with the letter "A". It was not a family car, as my family had all passed away before I acquired the car, so there was nothing sentimental there.
There was a lady at my church back in the fifties named Annie, an old maid schoolteacher who wore a black flat brim hat, high top lace-up shoes and a black dress. |

Re: Model A car names
Named her Nancy after the former owner's wife who refused to go near the car for 20 years he owned it. Our '25 Ford was missing a headlight, so we named her Betty Ford.

Re: Model A car names
In 1953 I bought a coupe and named it "Edsel". Then 4 years later FoMoCo took away that honor. In 1960 I sold Edsel and bought an un-named roadster that I still have.

Re: Model A car names
My 29 Tudor Sedan is named Puddles it was named by a former girl friend of mine 42 years ago. I was always hit every puddle I could find when I was driving it.
My best friend in high school still has a Model A named Henrietta by his father and uncle when they drove it to college in the late 40's Hi have a 1915 Ford Model T my mother named Minkie as my father bought it and she never got a mink coat she wanted. I have a Model T speedster called: Nas T, a touring named Miss T. The other cars have no names... |

Re: Model A car names
Minerva was named for Minerva Silkwood, one of Pat's FARAWAY relatives, in Lincoln County, Illinois. In Roman Mythology, Minerva was the Godess of WISDOM & WAR!
Vermin was one of the names I could "make up" from extra, left over letters from M-I-N-E-R-V-A! Also because Buster T. is a RAT TERRIER & is a natural born RODENT & SNAKE killer! When I buy me a Hot Rod, it'll be named, RATT-GASS! My Truck is KADOTA & my Scooter is just, RAT! My name is MUDD W.

Re: Model A car names
I named my 29 Phaeton Flora -Now the reason is probably is going to take a bit of explaining and hopefully won't offend to many . Flora was a well known New Zealand Madam in the 1950's-60's (before I was born!) and in the Queens English a brothel is colloquially known as a 'Knocking Shop" The 29 had lots of rod knock . Seeing she was doing so much knocking I called her Flora
