Scott Fisher said *...when you open the door of my car, there's a
little light that comes on! Amazing!...That's why it's white, it
thinks it's a refrigerator....*
Like Scott, in addition to LBCs, I own a couple of V*lv*s as well.
Most notable among them is a white 1967 144. In addition to the door/
light thing, I noticed soon after purchasing the car that the grille
bore a remarkable resemblance to the shelf of a refrigerator...
which then got me to thinking about the old refrigerator that used to
sit in my grandfather's camp.
Within seconds, the 144's name spoke itself to me:
THE NORGE.
A few others:
1964 Herald conv.: Old Weird Herald (after a Bill Cosby routine)
1968 V*lv* 145 (d): Swine of Steel (homage to Satch Carlson's
Piggue of Plastique)
Another 1964 Herald conv. (white) The Virgin, until its first crash,
then...well, never mind
1951 Ch*vr*;*t Coupe: Pegasus IV (car is a family heirloom; my great
aunt had four black Ch*v**s in her lifetime. All four bore the name.
Unfortunately I never found out how it started.)
I could call my Triumph 10 Estate Wagon *Bo*, but frankly it reminds
me much more of Dudley Moore!
