I was talking with my dad the other day about all the cars he has owned and the various trends he remembered growing up. We came across a picture of his 60 Pontiac Ventura Sport Coupe(sweet ride) and I noticed he had a name painted on it. He had "The Panther" painted in old english letters on the rear fender and then had misc pinstriping around the door handles etc... He said that another guy had a 50 Merc with "The Maverick" painted on it accompanied with a hand of four aces. I am personally into what I call "retro rods" and plan on giving my car the same treatment naming it "The Shark". Anyways, I was just curious if anyone remembers this period in hot rodding and had any names or stories to share?

Thanks, Big Meanie
