Great looking car, regardless of whether it has a name. One of my favorite things about cars is that the manufacturer names them so I don't have to. My Pontiac is known as the "LeMans", the Triumph we call the TR6, the Corvette is referred to as the "Corvette", etc.

Awesome responses. I'm going to like it here!! The pee standing up was classic!

Thanks for the feedback guys, I think we are going to stick with bucket... and yeah I'm assuming it's going to make a LOT of sense as time goes on.

I'm enjoying the magnaflow exhaust. It's not so loud that it becomes an annoyance but it's loud enough to know its there and wakes up more as the skinny pedal falls down.

Again, thanks for the feedback and the compliments.
Nick.

Whatever name you choose, it needs to be something fitting of a 24/36/24 figure...

This is what I've come up with. I'm from NJ so you figure out the reference.

I named my 59 Elizabeth Maybelline. First, I thought about Betty Jo. But ended up with Elizabeth because her original color is crown sapphire blue which made me think of Queen Elizabeth and her jeweled crown (and my mother-in-law's middle name was Elizabeth) and Maybelline because my mom thought it would be a fun name to call her from the 50s. Congrats on your "jewel"!

I see cars with vanity plates ( not knowing if you planned that ) with things like "eNVy" on them I wonder to myself really? and how many times that poor car gets keyed to all hell....
