I will NEVER forget the 1960 "raffle" that a TV station sponsored, in Toledo, which featured a 1960 Thunderbird JR., to whomever selected the 'winning' name, for it. Like Roger, I was CERTAIN that I was going to win it, & submitted several names that I thought were no-brainers, as far as being a lock, on getting it. Altho I do forget (probably just-as-well) my entries, I will NEVER forget the LAME-O (imho--I hold no grudges, after 46 years; I'm over-it, now...) "winning" name : "Little-Blow-Peep" (????) ..good thing it wasn't a FWDLK'er ..... which reminds me; I've got a neat 8x10" print, of a well dressed "dad", sitting in a Fireflite conv, standing next to its mini-version (with 2 kids in it) @ a funky small gas station, in 1958. I'll find it & post it to the List--it's a CUTE photo!
