Re: Model A car names
I am considering Humpty Dumpty, because all the Kings horses and all the Kings men could not put Humpty together again...

Re: Model A car names
My 1929 Special Coupe was named "Bessie" after a mine where she worked at one time. One of these days I will contact the fellow I bought the car from about 25 years ago and see if he can provide more information.

Re: Model A car names
I named my first two modern cars - one used and one new. For some reason, never named any other cars, including Model A - just refer to them by make, model, body style and/or color

Re: Model A car names
My grandson sorta named mine Clara,as in Henry's Lady.I didn't have the heart or want to disappoint him by saying that could also be Evangeline so Clara it is.probably not very original. I just sold a '32 Plymouth to buy the Model A aand my grandson would never come up for a name for it.He said he was afraid if he named it I would keep it but he named my '31 roadster the day I got it.

Re: Model A car names
My daughter has named most of the cars we've given names, but insists on not naming some of them:
1926 T - Bessie (named by my father) 1929 A Roadster - The Roadster 1930 AA - The big truck 1930 Pickup - The Pickup 1930 Town Sedan - Ruby (named for the red stones in the eyebrows) 1931 Woody - Woody (what else) 1942 Tudor Sedan - Eleanor (Mrs. FDR) 1942 MB Jeep - Peaches (my mother's nickname during the war years) 1943 HD WLA - Queenie (cause she's a hanger queen)

Re: Model A car names
I had a great little dog. Woofa. Loyal, courageous, funny and very very popular. We neither have animals in the house nor are they permitted to ride in motor cars, with one exception. The Model A and strictly provided Woofa sit on the floor. Well Woofa was always at my heals when I was anywhere near the A for fear of missing a ride.
Woofa was skittled just over a year ago and we live on a street with very little traffic. Chasing a visitors dog. I still get a bit teary when I think of Woofa. I named the ute (pickup) in memory of my little friend. At this moment I have a adhesive sign being made to stick on the bonnet. "woofa.express". And that's how my ute got its name. The offending vehicle was a Nissan and I have never liked Nissans since.

Re: Model A car names
Bought a 29 roadster that had belonged to Allen Funt of Candid Camera Fame. Was told I could use the license plate, "SMILE29", then told "No, they may want to put the plates on another 29. So I got 29SMILE on it and hung the other plates onto the rafters in my garage. Good luck on using them on another 29. Anyway all my friends just started calling the car as Smile. Acquired "Vermin" from a friend of Bill Williamson. It has the name under the right tail light so it will just stay with the car as it is currently for sale. I like the name. His son put some rice on the seat and told Bill, "Dad, we got white mice. Like that bit also.

Re: Model A car names
Edsel Ford had a lot to do with the design of the A so my 31 Tudor got his wife's name: Eleanor.

Re: Model A car names
Tootles
I think that is how its spelled, I try not to look. Its pinstriped on the bottom door jam from the previous owner. Do the names have to stay with the car? |
