Model A car names i thought it might be interesting to discuss what determined how we named our cars.

Re: Model A car names My Model A, Emma, is named after both of my wives grandmothers, and they both had the same middle name.... Elizabeth.

Re: Model A car names Back in the (dark) ages, I built a (4) computer network system for my Wife's classroom at school for the students to use. When she found out that the various computer "names" were old girlfriends, she wasn't very pleased with that.
Therefore, my Model A remains un-named. |
Re: Model A car names We call our "A" , " Betty " , after Betty Boop who has always been one of my favorite cartoons .
|
Re: Model A car names Never named any of my cars.
|
Re: Model A car names Our 30 Coupe is names "Sister" because it has always been part of my wife's family.
|
Re: Model A car names I named mine Norah D when I purchased her but my boys and family all call her old Stanley. They got the name from the movie "Cars". The car named Stanley in the movie is actually a Model T but they don't care so Stanley it is. And sometimes Norah D.

Re: Model A car names I do not name my Model A's, per se, however my 1931 AA was purchased from the Kirby Company of Fairbanks, Electric Vaccum (SP) Sweepers since 1906.
Vacuum was actually misspelled on the lettering on both doors and I painted over the whole mess. It is known locally as the Kirby truck. Darryl in Fairbanks |
Re: Model A car names My wife named my/our '30 roadster...The Ugly Duck...I just call her the Duck! She warned me NOT to drive this A, until it was 'finished'. She knew/stated that if I started to drive it, that IT would never be finished and become a 'beautiful swan' ! Ha, when it fired first time, she was right :) !
I'm a 'driver' who tried the restorer thing and know a bit about chassis/drive train. But, having had pretty, and not caring about pretty, the Duck will stay !! She is fun to run/work with as grease/dirt/nicks don't matter a whit :rolleyes: BTW...SHE only ever rode in the Duck one time. And , that was to go to a nearby swap meet at a nearby Boys Home. Jay Leno pulled up next to me , while we were going to park and smiling..said 'nice ride'. He was in his latest acquisition..dark green Duesy ! I thot that that would impress HER, so that she would like Duck to be Swan....nope !!! |
Re: Model A car names My first A was a vagabond green 29 tudor. She told me her name was Belle. Seemed to fit and that was her name until the day she left our garage.
The pickup truck mumbles something occasionally but I haven't made out what he's saying. My granddaughter refers to it as Papa's Tickup Truck. |
Re: Model A car names Named my Ms. Daisy... I guess when I looked at the car, I got a sense of very older Lady and the film "Driving Ms. Daisy" came to mind to I when with it...

Re: Model A car names The unsinkable Molly Brown or Molly B for short...nothing keeps her down,

Re: Model A car names We just call our '30 Town Sedan "The A" or "Old Girl" as in "You can expect any 84 year Old Girl to leak a little".:rolleyes:
|
Re: Model A car names We named our roadster Mae. Seemed to make sense, Mae, the model A.
After a while we realized we really needed a closed car for when it got colder, and I thought maybe she would let me have another one, so maybe became Bea, when we got our Town Sedan. We considered a pickup as well, but found a late model (1951) that is probably more practical. It was known all over the town I bought it in, as the Red Truck, It will remain the Red Truck. |
