Giving names to cars is also an interesting subject. My father bought a 1948 Chevrolet sedan new, and drove it until until the mid-'60s. He was a railroad car repair foreman and always had to go to wrecks to supervise the removal of rail cars from the tracks or wherever, and to get to a wreck he had to drive down the narrow bumpy dirt access roads to the tracks. This beat up the car so badly that by the late '50s it was practically a wreck itself. It was such a heap (as we used to call an old beat-up car) that we took to calling it Uriah (my father was a great Dickens fan).

Any other names of cars y'all want to share?
