My car is Gracie (Gracie Allen) and my truck is Molly (that should be obvious to any old radio fans)

Re: Whats your cars pet name ?
 

My 34 coupe is called 'CLYDE'. The original owner called it 'Bonnie Jean', but as it was at that time a 4-cylinder model, maybe it suited that name. It is now a V8, and definitely not 'feminine'. I bought an old chrome plate topper 'CLYDE', off an internet auction, and figured that maybe this was just meant to be.
My 37 coupe is called 'Elizabeth', the original owner who I bought it off told me that she bought the car at the same time as the Coronation of the Queen Mother, who was Elizabeth. My 37 coupe is definitely a 'Lady'.
My everyday driver 38 deluxe sedan is 'ol Smoky', due to its original 100,000 mile engine blowing out more smoke than you would believe.

<<<<<< "Mrs Bishop" or "The Bishop" the original owners name was Bishop & the the original owner/builder of the old rock house we have lived in for 25 years , with a B in the chimney , & now home to my RHD 36 was Bishop also . so we think the name is fitting.

Re: Whats your cars pet name ?
 

Not very original, my '36 Ford has always been referred to as "Henry".
I named my '39 Plym conv.. "Walter".. not because of Walter P. Chrysler, because of the wheezing, coughing boy friend of Meg Ryan, in "Sleepless In Seattle"..
I had a '68 3/4 ton 4x for many years which my kids named "the tank".. for obvious reasons..

Re: Whats your cars pet name ?
 

My 35 pickup is called Apatchy, because he is made out of patches. I couldn't find a 35 PI to restore, so I collected parts from different trucks/vehicles. 65 different vehicles make up the truck that never was. lol

But the others she refuses to give names; the '29 Roadster is just the Roadster, the '30 AA is just the big truck, the '30 Pickup is just the Pickup.

Re: Whats your cars pet name ?
 

For names, I put vanity license plates on our cars, for example, the '39 CS plate reads 39 TUB however, lately I've been referring to her as the "Bailing Wire @ Duct Tape Special"...:eek: Another "Barner" stated that I keep my cars running with bailing wire... I've taken that comment (that I'm sure was meant to be derogatory) as a complement to my ingenuity... :D

You know what they say... If you can't fix it with Duct Tape, you're not using enough Duct Tape!:cool:

Re: Whats your cars pet name ?
 

We didn't come up with the name until after seeing the paint job. He now is named Merlot. Our other car is called "Dagmar and it's mainly because of the headlights.
Dagmar interrupted the Merlot restoration to get a new camshaft, and is heading down our hill to the garage.
A tow job returns the cars to the road. Byron.

Gertrude. It had to be female as she is tempermental and i have spent too much on her.

Re: Whats your cars pet name ?
 

I didn't really have a name for my '35 fordor sedan until last year while attending the Florida Barners Bash. A lady at our hotel was admiring my car and we probably talked for 30 minutes before she asked me what is its name? I told her I really didn't have a name except sometimes I called her 'Baby'. Like come on BABY please start. Or whoa there BABY while standing on the brake peddle hoping to stop. (Mechanical brakes don't cha know) She said that car is definitely an 'Olivia'. So, since then, that has become her name. Now my wife probably thinks Olivia was one of my old girl friends from the past.

We call our jointly owned (VeryTangled and me) '36 Phaeton the "Prom Queen".

Seems like we get endless amounts of compliments on it. Not meaning to sound big-headed, but everybody has a nice word for the car. Especially the Washington blue color.
