Patty Anne – Part 9 (and Final Entry) of Why People Name Their Cars After Women

Patty Anne is a 1987 Lincoln I inherited from my mother in 2017.  She is a qualified land yacht and rides like one.  Totally original and in fantastic shape, I enjoyed driving around in her, but I never had any real attachment to the car.  She’s a little too new for me.  So she now resides with a fellow Packard member in Indiana.  I still hear about her from time to time from Packard members: “I saw your mother’s car the other day.”  I think Mom would be happy to know that the current owner really loves her and enjoys her.

So as they say, “That’s my story, sad but true.”  I name my antique cars after those I purchase them from for my own reasons.  Every one was and is special to me.  So guys, next time you are around your cars, think, “Should I name them or not?”
