What's not to love about classic cars. They had style, fins,2 and 3 tone paint jobs. Multi colored interiors, some went like a scalded cat and more chrome than Carter had liver pills. My Grandmother and Mother were at a Bingo one Saturday night and when my Father and Grandfather went to pick them up they were waiting in the parking lot standing beside a car. A 1956 Chevrolet Bel-Air. Turns out my Grandmother won the car and my mother won a .22 cal. LR Cooey rifle. If they had prizes like that today I would live in Bingo Halls. Pictured below is what the car looked like. My Grandparents had it for years, never winter driven. As a kid I sat on my Father's lap and steered it down the highway and back when we visited relatives for Sunday Dinner. Unfortunately they sold the car or I would have it today. The colors are Pinecrest Green and Sherwood Green. Gary.

Curious. In my town, many of those that owned cars in High School and some out of High School, had names for their vehicles. "Blue Moon", "Sabre Jet", "Big Red", "Purple Passion", etc. and had the names painted, or decaled on their vehicles. Wondering if this was just a local thing, or did anyone here also seen or do it also? I grew up on Long Island and I don't remember anyone doing that when I was in High School. I don't even remember anyone having a name for their car so I'm thinking that it was a local thing.
