In High School I used Dad's spare car and had no name for it. In college I had a classic restored 1964 Impala SS Convertable, fire engine red with white leather upolstery and a white drop top. Everybody called it "the Red Baron" and the name just stuck. My brother loved the car so I gave it to him when I graduated and deployed to Germany. He still has it and keeps it in fantastic condition. While I was working on my MA in England I got a restored 1984 XJ6 4.2 Ltr Jag, Brit Racing Green with chocolate leather interior. I sent it home and still have it today. Great car, answers to "the Green Hornet". My sister bought a 2003 4 cylinder Morgan, Midnight blue with bone leather interior that did not have a name until she saw the NCIS episode where Dr. Mallard had a Morgan. Now she calls it "Ducky's Car".
