I named my first Stude ('61 Hawk) "Carrie's Curse" for my girlfriend back in the late sixties... All the rage then.... Here's a pic of a "Big Daddy Ed Roth" T-shirt painted at the Custom Car Show back at Navy Pier in Chicago around the winter of 1970... (One of his surrogates painted it)... Well.... 35 years later.... Same girl, three cars later (and I still have that Hawk).. She calls the newest one ('37 Coupe Express p/u) 'Her Mistress', as I spend more time with it, than I do with her (in her opinion ) ... It's hard to get her to pose with it, considerint the other pic gals... Jeff
Those bulgemobile car names aren't even that far fetched, considering that Canadians could buy a new Pontiac Strato-Chief in '59, or in the states an Edsel Round-up wagon for the family. My favorite is the long-ram dual quad engines built for the '60 Plymouths known as Sonoramic Commando Power.
I've been referring to my 59 Buick as the "deathmobile" for some time now, but since that name will always be reserved for the hacked up Lincoln from the movie "Animal House", I've considered renaming it the "Hippie Killer" (a song by the Suicidal Tendencies). Here's thread that I started a long time ago with pics of the car I'm referring to - http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60132&&showall=1

Ummm....I think this is the name of a practical joke we used to pull in college, when we were all completely shitfaced drunk (on a pub crawl) and one of our crew would attempt to take a whiz in the street/alley. While his back was turned and he was in mid-stream, somebody else would grab his shoulders and start spinning him. The victim was usually bombed enough that he would keep right on spinning for a rotation or two before regaining his balance. Instant "Golden Flow Whirl-O-Matic". The prankster has to be quick to get in, start the spin, and get out clean, though.
