Anybody gotta a problem with the PHANTOMS???

Hey, just wantin' to triple check.after much searching,we've decided to call ourselves the"FALLS CITY PHANTOMS" (or The PHANTOMS)for short.Anybody have a problem with us using that as our car club name?I'd like to know,cause I respect all ya'lls opinion.And I don't want to Trample on anybody else's Clubs...thanxxx

 

I have seen a picture of one member of the "Phantoms" in a "Ol´skool Rodz" mag a while ago, he had a grey wool jacket on! (Pretty cool one) So there probably are a club, but I havent been able to find anything about them on the net!

i belive there in washington state. but i know for sure there is a phantoms car club already. i had my car next to theres at viva las vegas.

 

This guy might...

 

Only that clubs Suck...

 

Sorry, I don't understand the problem. Back in the day, there were "Shifters" and "Cams" and "Carbs" and even "Pharohs" and "Piston Poppers" in all different kinds of cities. The city was always noted on the jackets and the plaques. As long as you were the "Hyenas OF MAYBERRY", no one minded. (Well, okay, the "L.A.Roadsters of Little America" may have pushed it a bit.)

"Phantoms" is a good name and as long as you don't disgrace the name, nobody should really have a beef. Uhh -- you're not restricting your membership to 1940 Ford roadster pickups and the like, are you?

(we never heard form the other 315 Carbs clubs or their lawyers.)

 

Small club we had here in upstate NY. Started close to fifteen years ago.
Most members moved away. I still wear my jacket. Go for it!

 

We're a good group a guys.We aren't kickin' puppies,or stealin' old womens purses.We'll be doin' a lot a charity cruises,and stuff like that.I appreciate your guys input on this.The club will be open to pre-64 cars trucks,and bikes.We are NOT elitists.none of us have money for high dollar rods.We' will try to help anyone out if we can .We're mostly a bunch o poor ol' factory workers who have an appreciation for early hot rodding.

 

Hey, at least you asked.......there's only so many names to go around.

 

I was going to say i've heard of this one mentioned cause i'm from NY as well...I personally dig the name and the way you want to use it...
Do your thing holmes!

Much 'respect' to you for asking too like Rooth said..

Me and a few of my buddys have been joking around about getting some jackets made that say "the mordors". Limited to people who own cars with to many doors.

 

I thought it'd be funny to call the club the "FALLS CITY FOURDOORS"and have it only exclusive to four door cars.But nobody else seemed to think it funny.

 

Perfect club motto:

"Phantoms CC - Kickin' puppies and stealin' old ladies purses since 2006"

 

My buddy's got a car club called "Phantom Cruisers" their from East L.A but I don't think that there will be any problem since its a different name

 

Funny to resurrect this issue, but it turns out Phantoms is a name I've been considering for a couple months now.
Well after doing a search I was directed to this thread.
I'm really wanting to use the name with our area noted under it.
Guess we'll be public with it for a spell before we splurge on paraphernalia! Ha!

 

......I'm not a lawyer, but I don't see how it could be a problem. There have probably been dozens of clubs using the name over the years. Come up with a design (including an interesting font) and the name Phantoms/ Huntington Beach.....or Phantoms / So. Cal. and all should be good. Call Dennis O'Brien (o'brientruckers.com)...508-248-1555 and get those club plaques made up........Don.

 

If there by chance happens to be another club calling themselves Phantoms/ So Cal. let us know when the rumble is going to take place!!

 

We're going to go ahead with it. I agree 100% with you guys!

It's damned hard to come up with a club name that isn't already in use somewhere. The Vintiques of Yakima is a long time since 1974 but the Vintiques of Dallas was formed earlier than they were and there is a Vintiques car club in South Dakota. You think you have a unique club name and someone else also uses it.
I'd agree with having the city or region in the club name though.

 

According to the extensive collection at O'brien truckers there have been 18 clubs using "Phantoms" as their club name.

As far as "FALLS CITY PHANTOMS" you would be the only ones. HRP

 

Danny I think they probably have that sorted by now as the original post was 14 years ago.

 

i love these

 

Calling yourselves FALLS CITY PHANTOMS would not be confused with other clubs using the Phantom name since you are also identifying yourselves as being from Falls City. I belong to a club called "Rochester Street Rods" and this year we are celebrating our 50th anniversary. I never remember anyone ever being offended by our use of the words "Street Rods" in our club name.

 

Only ones that may be offended are your members.

Here we have North Dakota Street Rod Ass'n and Minnesota Street Rod Ass'n. I am a member of both and I prefer to think that I do not have a street rod.

 

Falls City Phantoms has a nice ring to it. There's some term for a phrase where the words start with the same sound, because it is pleasing to the human ear, and this is such a phrase.

 

That's funny, I actually do live in Cedar Falls Iowa now!

 

I can't believe nobody has responded..

"ONLY THE PHANTOM KNOWS "

 

Ask that fellow from the opera, it may bother him.

 

Phantoms you say? Better call ghostbusters.[emoji23]
