Re the '66 Wag...if it seems like a "guy" to you, how about calling it "Lyle", after Wonder Woman actor Lyle, er, "Wagonaire"?

I've got a few.
The 41 Commander was always called just the '41
I've always been a fan of the Transformers from the 80's so my car names usually follow suit:
My daily driven '59 Ford Galaxie 500 (Ramjet)
Daily driven 64 Chrysler Newport (Skywarp)
62 Buick LeSabre (Starsaber)
Then, there's my matching 66 Chryslers which I've always called my "twin-6ers"; 66 300 & Newport. Only need a 66 NY'er to complete the set.

He was on the Carol Burnett Show, too.

"Knuckle-Buster" haven't been working on it that long and already claimed a middle finger, ring finger, and pinkie. It's going to be a long restoration.

My
49 Ford Coupe is "The 49"
26 T Roadster is "The T"
51 8N Tractor is "Dixie"
46 M Series is "The Shop Truck:
Sandi's 61 Hawk is "Stella"

Mine has always just been "The '40". Since it says "Ely Stokes" on the doors, sometimes it gets called Ely. It has other nicknames like black betty, and when it breaks down on the side of the road it has names that can't be repeated here...

Chris, what's the story on "Ely Stokes"?

Chris, what's the story on "Ely Stokes"?

"Ely Stokes" is a chimney sweep in Indianapolis. When my car was built, it was originally sent to Iowa, but a few years later it was sold and went to Indy where it was a rolling advertisement for the chimney sweep. Once it was done being used as an advertisement it was sold again and went to Nashville Indiana, then Jim Maxey bought it, then me. Both doors actually read "Ely Stokes Master Chimney Sweep, Indianapolis Indiana." and then it has a phone number below that. When it arrived in Jims yard years ago, all the lettering was still semi legible, but it has since faded and all that's really left is Ely Stokes. If you really stare at the doors you can still read it, but barely. It looks like a rat rod for now but it's getting removed when I get to the body work. It's the white lettering on my doors in my signature pic.
