My wife's corvair was named Claudette

The 61 my be named Scalded Dawg... not sure yet. It was one if her fathers saying.

My '69 was "Daisy" due to the yellow with white top.

My '66 is "Ginger" also due to color.

My Corvette is "Marceline" taken from the Adventure Time cartoon, color and personality match her character.

<edit> My daughter came up with the names. She was 7 when I bought the '69, she was 10 when I bought my '66, she is now 12 and thinks she gets the Vette in 4 more years.

I'm sure my spousal unit has many names for mine.

We refer to my truck as the HatredCopter, after the DethKlok song of the same name.

When finished mine will be Santa's Sleigh due to my work with Special Needs Kids and Adults as "Their Santa".

losthope · 01-02-2013, 11:57 PM

I guess its name is the "beast" or the"the big red beast" , because I tell people "hop in the beast",or "throw it in the back of the beast", or "dont worry the big red beast will haul it".....things like that...never thought about it till I read this thread....

Vernski · 01-03-2013, 12:41 AM

The older lady I bought my GMC from called the truck "Frank" after her late husband. I asked her why and she said he was tuff and always ready to go.
I'm not exactly sure how she meant that but the name stuck with us my wife always refers to the truck as "Frank" and never mind what I say. This was a time I just had to accept the fact that that his name is "Frank"...Vernski

burbluv · 01-03-2013, 12:41 AM

We call it "The Burb"

Ours it named Beauty, or referred to as "the racer". The original owner family named her "Old Yeller". After she was repainted gloss black she was renamed Diane or "Princess" because she was spoiled rotten and treated like a princess. My wife is in charge of naming our vehicles.

65c10restomod · 01-03-2013, 03:32 AM

"Ol Rusty"

Sanity66...sometimes it helps me maintain my sanity and other times tries very hard to take it away

athan66 · 01-03-2013, 08:48 AM

My kids call our '66 'Mater' after the truck in the Disney Car's movie. They thought the GMC V6 emblem looked pretty similar to the logo from the movie:

Bishops Trucks · 01-03-2013, 09:27 AM

"Cheyenne" seemed to fit since it is a Cheyenne Super.

UK62LW · 01-03-2013, 09:31 AM

Wife simply calls mine Chuck, merging Chevy and Truck

**SOUTHERN917** · 01-03-2013, 10:35 AM

My 70 cst10 was named "Ol' Betsy" by my kids, and my "66 c10 was named "Fred" by my husband after Fred G. Sanford. ( He's not a gear head like me, and I didn't have the heart to tell him that Freds red truck was a 51 Ford...) :-)
