The Beast
Mine is 'The Beast' because when I bought it, it was totally unsafe to drive on the road, tiller steering, an unsure distributor, and the unholy growl it made when I first floored it.

The '73 Cutlass (my first car) is called.... Car
'66 442 was the Batmobile
'74 Vega was Nutbolt
All Toronado's get called Torque a nado
'73 Ventura (green 4 door) Green Hornet
'79 Dodge MaxiWagon was Big Red Party Van
Most others are named by the year to keep them straight!

1969 98 convertible:
Beulah after my grandmother - stubborn and cantankerous, but I love her anyway
I haven't had enough time with my Cutlass Supreme or Malibu to name yet, but I am leaning toward "boar" for my Malibu since it is such a beast and "Prissy" for the Cutlass Supreme since it is fragile and needs protection

This car makes me sad. Super clean workmanship, but if this is a factory original 67 W-30 (one of 502), I have no nice words for how its been stripped of its dignity.
But something tells me its not original. I think its a 66 air cleaner.
ANYWAY, back to the topic at hand.
1972 Cutlass Supreme: "Blue"; viking blue with blue interior, white top
1972 Cutlass Supreme: "Crush" ; Orange, 455/400/posi equipped.
1971 Cutlass Supreme convertible: Was going to be Raggedy Ann... until I found out that its factory Triple White. Will be "Snow White" or maybe "Pearl" when I'm done. (Unless Disney says something about it
)

I came home one day to open the garage and find my '69 442 gone and my wife's car in the drive I got a cold brew and waited. She pulled up with my daughter and I asked her why she took the Olds? "I like taking THE HOTROD to school,the kids love it." 
Couldn't blame her and the name stuck.

I was originally going to call my 442 "silver lining", but while I was working on it I heard the Grateful Dead's Touch of Grey on the radio. When I heard the line about every silver lining's got a touch of grey, well it just seemed right.
So now the 442 is "A Touch of Grey"
The '67 Delmont has always been "Big Red" for obvious reason.
