Question Help Me Name Her???

I welcome your NAME suggestions. THANK YOU.

Just bought it and she's coming home with me this weekend (and my wife does not know yet)!!!

As noted during my first and only inspection and test drive (1 hour):
· Engine is smooth running and strong
· Transmission flaring 3rd to 4th gear (modulator? vacuum?)
· Faulty climate control. Blows heat but no a/c (compressor? leaks?)
· Electric left rear window will not go down (motor? switch?)
· Original paint with some signs of rust here and there but not too bad
· Very good interior cosmetics
· All vacuum actuated door locks work
· Engine hood insulation had fallen off and removed
· Dirty engine bay and in badly need of cleaning
· Some water under the mats but no rust (plugged drains?)
· Rear rubber peeling off the chrome bumper
· Foot brake close to the floor when engaging (7 clicks?)

She’s over-all not in bad shape and with a few $$$ (fingers crossed) she’ll be back to her original form.

Smokeless will have a friend

She looks like a "Zelda". Don't know why, it just jumped out at me.

Since you haven't told your wife yet, how about "Surprise!"

You know Rodney asked the question, just why do we call our cars she?
He said it is because on a real cold morning, when you really need her, she won't turn over!
Maybe you should name her after someone special?

She looks like a "Gertrude" to me.

Looks like a beauty, I hope you have fun with her.

Talking Just Got Her Home

Smokeless on the left and NoNameYet on the right.

I will forward your name suggestions to the war department (the wife) and hear what she has to say.

Thank you for all your name suggestions.
