When I bought my F-100 (I was 16) it really struck me as an old farmer truck, and the name "EARL" jumped in my head and stuck. All through high school, and now, friends and family refer to him as "EARL"...to those outside the circle of trust, he's referred to as the "60".

When the T-Bird arrived, after hours of clean-up it revealed itself as a classy/sexy 1950's icon...almost immediately she became "AUDREY", as classy/sexy 1950's to me is Audrey Hepburn...before clean-up, she was the "BARN 'BIRD"...

My antique/classic trucks all have names:

"Little Red" is my red 64 F100 Shortbed Styleside

"Big Red" is my red 63 F100 Uni Longbed

"Big 'Un" is my red 63 F250 Long Flareside

Don't really have a name for my 63 Crew Cab yet (pre-project stage). Maybe BMF? :-)

My first 56 Victoria was on hand from 1963 thru 1966 - lots of good memories - was Thunder Road.  Who'd a thunk it?  Anyway, my Dad looked a lot like Robert Mitchum and the 56 wasn't that far off the 57 Mitchum said the salesman promised him 140 on the flat.

The current 56 gets many different names.  Bug Killer, Geezer Pleaser, TR II, Screamin' Demon, Renegade.  One may stick and get painted on somewhere.

You gotta have the right tools and know how to use 'em.

My kids used to call my black 850  "Sir Throckmorton" (Norton). I now, very cleverly refer to my red '57 as "The Red Car"! I thought about several parodies of Hoosier Hurricane, but nothing came to mind. John pretty much owns the naming rights in Indiana for F codes.

Prior to paint my 55 was known as Reacher beacuse it always reached its final destinations.

After paint, my buddy christened it the "Martini Mau Mau" (whatever that means).

I can relate to that!  Our dogs have got into it with three skunks this last week, that stuff is strong when it is fresh.

When i was cruising the streets in my 1st 56 customline, wild violet metallic paint, dechromed with 8" chrome rims and  cutout radiused rear wheel archs looking to race, there was allways a mean looking 56 sedan lowered etc with " KING CREOLE " painted across the front of the hood, allways seemed to emerge at same intersection at night! great era!.

We considered Skunk for awhile but for the two weeks leading up to the decision, I had trapped and relocated eight skunks that were digging up the yard I had just about all the skunks I could stand.
