Art & Inspiration What should I call (name?) this?

I've been calling it the "Fordillac", but now that it's (almost) done, that doesn't really seem like a proper thing to call it. Besides, that's been done. I've never "named" a car before, this one seems to want one.

It's not really a roadster, but it does have a top and no side windows. It's certainly not a sedan any longer, it's sort of a tub, but I don't know where to go with that. I'd thought of a war bird name like, "Miss Behavin", "Miss Take", or "Lucky Strike", and some (small) pinup style artwork on the cowl, down low between the hood and door, but that may be sort of "gimmicky". I do kind of think of it as female, so the "Miss...something or other..." thing sort of seems to fit, and the olive green color does sorta fit the war bird thing.

Give me some thoughts on this, it seems sort of silly I know, but the car does seem to want a name. We always refer to our cars as what they are, "the convertible", "the wagon", the T'Bird, whatever, but this one doesn't really seem like a Ford any longer, and I really don't know what it is!

 

Big Bad Bertha...

(these "name my car" threads never go well)

 

how bout the slipper

 

PT CRUZIER

JUST Kidding ,looks cool............

 

Here ya go

 

LOL, oh, that's COLD, man!

 

PT's where boats back in the 40s and 50s and 60s,
I don't know about any nose art tho

 

Oh, I thought you were saying it looked like a PT cruiser (which, I hate to admit, it kinda does, although it sure doesn't SOUND like my wifes car ). JFK was the captian of PT 109, ya know...

 

PT 109 would be a cool name for your ride...

 

I think Electrodude is on to something!

 

Damn skippy! Those boys had balls of steel and no fear!

...and the first jarhead that speaks up can deal with me! (just kidding, I'm not much of a challenge anymore...)

 

Do some research and see if you can find any art on that PT109!

That would be cool !

 

Not bad, not bad at all. Let's see, it's got a 472 in it, "PT 472"?

 

Kinda silly, but Easy as pie, or the wedge or somthin? I dont know, kinda shaped like a piece 'o pie or cheese.

well, since its sort of a tub, call it "Tubby".

 

Hot Tub Miss Applied Miss Carriage

 

how about 'MAJOR HOOTERS' and you can have a pin up girl painted on the side to go with the theme. and maybe a set of big head lights.

 

It fits, but it's not very ***y! "Li'l Tubby", maybe?

 

I'm using the original '36 headlights, and they'e pretty big, but I think I'd get some flak from the spousal unit on that choice of names. I kinda like it tho!

 

"Rub-A-Dub-Tub"

 

Why does it have to just be ***y? After all, fun is ***y.

 

Just don't call it a Ratrod.Everyone will freak out and you will have 20 pages of posts about how you are going to ruin hotrodding!

 

I dont think he means those kinda head lights bud

 

yeah

 

I like that car very tough to pull of a 36 without fenders.....
how about name it "Not Your`s"...

 

Here's a couple....

 

A friend of mine back in the 80s named his car the highway star, That might look cool with some pin up girl art on the cowl.

 

paint it ****** pink, and call it pinkie winkie... pinkie was a tubby

 

It's got a Caddy engine in it...??? Well, then how 'bout "Fatilac," or maybe "Crzboat," and one more "Cadicool"...!!!
