Re: IML: NAME: ALICE what's YOUR car's name?

[John Corey <jcorey@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, my first Imperial (61 Southampton) was  bought purely in appreciation of its sculptural quality  A kind of subtlety in form not shared by other outrageously finned cars, by Exner or lesser designers, hence SUBTLE XS

The 61 convertible for which I overpaid on acquisition; and then into which inserted ungodly amounts of coulda-been-retirement dollars and pre-retirement hours, all just to immediately rally coast-to-coast in the 2006 Great Race (fresh restoration be damned, let's DRIVE!), while leaving my patient wife to wonder if midlife would last much longer:  is called NO XQS (that is, 'no excuse').  But I love it.

I also had a 67 Eldo named 'Thirsty' (need i say more); a Fiat named Leo (nardo); and my current daily, a green Jaguar named 'Q' (see James Bond movies if reference is unclear).

Hi all

It occurred to me that our cars might have names and interesting stories to go with it's christianing.

Here's mine.

My 59 is named Alice. Nice old lady of the fifties ? Not really.

I'm a BIIIGG Alice Cooper fan.

So "No more Mr NIce Guy" ( one of Cooper's greatest hits)  is more like it.

There is a beautiful Vermont pink Imp called BLING.

Maybe we could have the story? And yours and yours...

Cheers
