Re: Model A car names
Why I Named my Vehicles.
In my business I had a number of vehicles including 5 custom fitted trucks specifically for loading aeroplanes. Four were Mercedes 1418’s, they were affordable when I wasn’t flush plus economical to run and were almost indestructible.
Those trucks and all other vehicles were numbered. Myself and drivers could never recall the numbers off the top of our head so I gave them names, some after the previous owners. They were Scrooge, Spuds, Chick e babe, Wahine, pronounced wa he ne and Freddy. Then we had no more difficulty in identifying trucks.
The aeroplanes had 5 rego letters and were referred to by the last 3 letters of that rego.
So that is why I named my vehicles.
I guess after that it simply became habit to name vehicles. My A’s are Woofa.Express, Staff Car, Old Chocolate, and the General Motors Holden is simply The FX from which all that model is known.
The pictures are Scrooge, 1 loading rice and 2, folded for travel.
