History Signature, autograph help

Discussion in 'Traditional Customs' started by chopped51, Jun 11, 2025.

  1. I'm posting this here in hopes that someone will recognize it.
    Over the years I've had a number of "car guys" sign my car. But for the life of me I don't recognize this signature. Hoping somebody will?
    FYI....... This is in my traditional custom, 51' Merc.
    Thanks in advance.

  6. 20250611_115903.jpg No, I have Bo Huff as well. Much easier to read than this one I'm trying to figure out.

  10. Yes, I know who Bo Huff is. I met him and his son a few times. As shown in the photos I posted I do have his signature. That's not the one I'm trying to figure out.

    Based on his distorted builds, I would say Bad Chad...
     
  12. How about the drag racer Rod Oberg

    AI says its Ebonie Bridges. (just to show how worthless that really is)
     
  14. Ebonic Bridges was Don Johnson’s criminal
    cousin in the tv series “ Nash Bridges “.

  15. Well, looks like it's going to remain a mystery for now. Unless my memory kicks in. Never met Bad Chad so not him.

    Ebanie Bridges (the "Blonde Bomber") is an Australian female boxing champion. If it is her that has signed the car, the OP must move in some very diverse and interesting social circles.....:confused::rolleyes:

    Is it the right way up, or upside down ?
    How would you know ? :)
     
  25. Maybe this photo will jog your memory. No, not Snoopy :rolleyes:. Some car guy named Manfred signed his nick-name on a red piece of your car. Did he allways wear a old pilot cap ?

    Sorry I can't help, but too bad you didn't take a pic of whichever icon signed it while he was sitting in your car. I probably wouldn't think of that, either.

    can you remember where you were when it was signed :confused:

    reminded me of a true story, friend of mine, his wife and sister in law would take a weekend every year and stay at the Red Lion inn in Stockbridge Mass.. The Lions Den bar in the bottom floor was adorned with signed photos of all the different celebrities that had visited all in different frames and sizes. As a surprise for his brother in law on his birthday that fell on that weekend, my friend framed his high school photo and signed his name and "it's been real" along the bottom. He arrived early and when no one was looking he two-way taped it to the wall.....they had a good laugh. following three years it was still up. fourth year the bar had been renovated and the picture had been moved to the other side of the room.
    It may still be there and people may still be trying to think of who K Coyle is

    submitted it to an online app to
    remove the background color.
