My wife also named our '46!! (her birth year). The truck is a SHE named "Lucille" and SHE is a good ole 3-speed!! Named her Lucille because shes a redhead!! Of course my wife doesn't know how to drive her....but I SURE DO!!! BTW, isn't it normal to talk about your truck like; "She's a beauty!"...or..."She's running really good!"...or..."She's getting a tune-up!"?? I wouldn't want to call my truck "Bob" or "Bill"...what say you??
