Hey I know I'm new around these parts but I have been reading bunches of older posts, threads, perusing pictures attempting to educate myself a bit better about oldsmobiles. I just acquired a 1969 delta 88 royale, jade green or mint green and am in the process of rounding out my gameplan for a restoration.
I have a 19 year old daughter Kailey, who is changing oil at a jiffy lube. And I have a 2 1/2 year old, Chloe, who named our 91 mitzu Montero 4x4, "The Box". And she's right; it looks like a box. The wife drives a Rogue, appropriately named "The Circle" for it aerodynamic teardrop just like every suv on the road shape.
So I asked her what we should name the 69 olds, and she stared at it for a bit and the said "The Shark"....so we have the Box, Circle and now the Shark.
And my lil one watches Bubble Guppies on Nick jr...what an imagination....
So....what do you call your toys ?

 

My white '66 Holiday sedan is "Pearl" and my red convertible is "$UM FUN"! My 2008 Malibu is "boo". What I call my Chrysler T&C can't be printed here.

 

The Starfire

The 442

The Cutlass (sometimes we slip into silly talk and call it The Convertible).

 

I labelled mine my Funny Looking Chevelle.

 

Same here; too many vehicles to remember names.

Had two 66 Toros at one point; had to settle for green Toro & red Toro.

 

Lol bet that's a big hit at the shows !!

My 65 is Betty
My 96 Chevy truck I bought when I was 18 has the name big blue and we haven't named my wife's driver or my suburban

 

I call my 54 Lessie. Lessie was my grandmother (my Mom's Mom). She was the sweetest grandmother in the world and passed in 1964 when I was a senior in high school. I was looking for a name for my car and my wife came up with this and I said, that't it.

 

I write it on my registration and windshield sheets at car show's. It really makes the clueless work.

 

My 72 Cutlass Supreme is called "Snot". Because it's snot one color, but three! Green body and vinyl top, red hood with black stripes. And a little primer here and there. Other family members call it "The Booger". But it's mine so no worries!!!!

 

My one owner 71 CS belonged to a gal named Pecola until she could no longer drive and eventually passed away (I didn't know her). I plan on painting her red so she's called Cherry Cola

My '99 yellow Dodge Ram 1500 is Old Yeller

 

The lifted black k5 blazer on 35 in. Tires we call rita. My 72 cutlass we simply call the copper car. My daily drive blue 02 saturn I cal the brave little toaster.

 

We do this to a lot of our keepers, some are gone now
02 Fatboy - Syn-dee
72 satellite 4dr- ol blue
72 Sattellite 2dr- Jenny
Both daily drivers- Hondys
54 super 88- Myrtle the vertible
71 98 - Goldie
73 Newport 2dr- the banana boat

 

She is the Mistress, takes my money, my time and a lot of love, quote the wife......Tedd

 

Money Pit

 

Lol that's what I used to call her than the wife named her Betty !

 

pretty simple with mine
the cutlass
the f85
pam for the wagon because of the license plate
now that i have 2 cutlass the new one is "new cutlass" and my first is now "the one in the garage"

 

<-- my first car, avatar pic, was called miss holiday leading or just miss leading

 

Simple is the best:

The Olds
The Vette
The Cobra
The Truck
The Jetta
The Dog
The Wife
The Kid

 

I call mine the dream cause right now the only way it looks like I'll be getting it on the road is in my dreams.

 

My '72 is called Louise after my Grandmother that is was special ordered for.

 

I call her the "Batmoldsbile"...

 

I call mine "The car you can't drive" to my daughters. They've racked up more fenders than I care to think about.

 

Glad it's not just mine

 

Lol!

 

The Beast....what I call the car
The Bit@$......what my wife calls the car

 

And I suppose you call the wife... Ummmm maybe we ought not go there.

 

I usually name my cars after their previous owners. My 63 Olds Dynamic 88 two door Holiday is named "Suzy" because Susan Hickman was the name on the title.

 

I'm single with no kids.

The Cutlass is referred to as, the Cutlass.

 

This is about as silly as the gender thread.

 

x10 on that.

 

The 77 Cutlass is nicknamed "Pumpkin" which is what my grandfather called it (Mandarin Orange metallic), license plate is PNKNRKT.


The 95 Cutlass Convertible is called "the one my wife wants to get rid of".


Brian

 

Black Car (66 442) is called either POS (but in the process of getting much better) or The Black Car

Red Car (66 L69) is called the Red Car, or lately, CS'n, SOB, MFR. It has been messing with me......... can you tell............lol

 

I wouldn't argue that but you have to have a little silliness thrown in sometimes.

 

My Wife calls it my girlfriend.

 

What do you call your baby.---- The Mail mans kid.

 

Yeah, true. My Olds does not have a name yet. My Chevy got named the Blue Demon by my dad. My Tacoma is either the Taco Bomber or Truckistan considering how terrorists, er *cough* freedom fighters, use them everywhere.

 

As I mentioned on the gender thread... Named my 64/88 'Rosie' after my Mom...lost her in 64.

 

The 'burb
The Mazda
The Caddy aka Pyrite
The Olds
The camper

Real original stuff.

 

the four four two

 

I'm a bit "old school" when it comes to naming cars. My Dad taught me that all cars are women. "When you cus 'em, 'cus 'em female.", was one of his favorite sayings.

My 1st car was a '69 El Camino SS. I took one look at her and named her Suzanne right off the bat. Don't ask me why, I really don't know. She just looked like a Suzanne.


My 71 cutlass supreme I named Cindy. Once again, I have no idea why. It just fits.
