Default Re: Name this car contest, design the paint.....

The 60's and 70's were certainly the heyday of "named" or "themed" race cars. Although none of my own cars were ever named, I was always intrigued by "Smokestack Lightning" as a race car name, which is a blues song written by Howlin' Wolf, and the most popular recorded version was done by the Yardbirds on their "Five Live Yardbirds" album.

I also liked "Psychotic Reaction" by the Count 5. However, Jim Kramer from PA owns a survivor SS/AA Cuda with this name still on it. I believe Bob Harrop was one of the original owners of this car, which also retains the original psychedelic paint scheme!
