Grace..as in Grace Kelly the princess of Monaco.
Elegant yet powerful.
Grace Kelly - Wikipedia
My 1967 Dodge Monaco 500 Canadian built and Canadian sold.
One of 57 440 Magnum powered Fastops that rolled out of the Windsor Ontario plant December of 1966.
An unplanned purchase that fell into my lap and been loving her ever since.
Once in a lifetime car that has everything I wanted in a C body 2dr.

My new arrival!

Thank you @cbarge -- all great cars, great stories, and amazing work.

I would love to see more of Golden Oldie. As you know, a 1971 Coronet Brougham (ideally N-code) is one of my white whales. Anything you can share about interior pics, good/bad characteristics, comparison with C-body (especially Frankie), etc -- I'd love to read from you.

Never named any of my cars but did several trucks for some reason. The first time to name a truck was lots of years ago and 'it's' name was Edna. The name came from the song Edna. The truck was whipped and beat but fixed all the areas that were beat including replacing the original bucket seats with Captains' chairs from a late model. The truck was a 79 D300 single wheel Adventurer SE Club cab. All black and with all the trim with chrome spoke wheels. Many years later I gave it to Good Will. Next truck is a 97 2500 diesel and still have it. It's Red 1 since it's red. Also have a red 96 Dakota and it's Red 2. Next is a 95 Dakota that's simply called Beater. Btw, I hate red but when a vehicle is just too nice to pass on, I can deal with it.

Originally called: "Lurch", but changed it to "The Toecutter", when a jack collapsed and crushed my buddy's toe.

I tried finding a related thread but could not seem to find one, but maybe I didn’t look hard enough. Anyways, curious question, what did you all name your cars if you did?

Since now having owned 3 cars, I’ve named my 2 daily drivers

Buckie a 1997 Olds LSS (may it rest in peace )

Clunkie a 1996 Olds Eighty Eight Royal

Now I named the cars like this because Buckie…. Bucked and Clunkie always had a clunk in the suspension. Now even though I bought the Chrysler at 16, 4 years on I still have yet to name it, Until now.

So please tell me if yall think the name is dumb but I’m getting the vibe that she’s a “Candy”. She’s rough around the edges and not the shining star she used to be, however she still finds ways to be cruel and drain my wallet I think it’s fitting ‍ if I’m wrong or if it’s dumbView attachment 703114 tell me, but this car does make me think of that kind of a woman

(Think of Lola from the Barry Manilow song Copacabana)

I am thinking of naming mine Fiona from Shrek. She is big and green

The build date of my car is 2/28/73. One day before the release of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon.
Since my favorite band is Pink Floyd I named the car DRK SD 73.
Also, I thought the fact that the car is paint code EW1 adds a bit of irony to the name.

Ahhh.... I originally thought that you were trying to bring the "Dark Side" moniker from the full size Pontiac crowd over to the Big Mopar scene.

Sure, I’ll take credit for that too.

 

[cuda hunter]

I've had a few dark siders. Still have a 69 grand prix and a 66 2+2 (catalina).
I thought the same thing!

Cool name though!

Candy is out for a name. The new one that’s stuck is “The Crustler”, due to its rough edges.

May I present "Crocodile"?
She´s a triple green dinosaur from 1973, wide, long and heavy, quite hungry and sometimes lazy...




After some welding, she will receive new paint in the original color (Amber Sherwood metallic) again, to replace the different greens from 1973-1999 ("do-it-yourself painting" from the 1990ies?).
The fender skirts will be reattached.
