New Business- Name Ideas?

[bodom22]

Hey guys, I'm in the process of opening a car business. We will primarily be dealing in classics, but we will have exotics and other bad a$$ toys from time to time.

I'm having trouble coming up with a good name that doesn't just pertain to classic cars. Any help would be appreciated.

Here are some names off the top of my head. Of course, these could already be in use/ trademarked so you'll have to do your own search....

Wild Wheels
Customs & Classics
Cars, Classics and more...
"Tri C" or "Triple C" (Cars, Customs, Classics)
Big Boys' Toys
Dream Cars
Motorhead Heaven
Gearhead Garage
Wild Rides
Bad AZZ Toys

Or Perhaps use part of your name and any partners/ someone special to you and make up the name? That's where "Cragar", "Mattel", "Lesney" (original makers of Matchbox) came from, to name a few...

I hope this helps.

Hewlett Packard Motorworks... of course not, but some things to keep in mind for a new business...I assume you will eventually want a web page, so you may want to start looking into domain names. Also, I imagine you want people to google you... you need to make sure you choose a name that will direct customers to you, not another business or web site... Just a few things to keep in mind when coming up with a name. Altough I like the name, a quick google search leads me to believe that the name is widely used by other companies.

I'm in the orlando area. I have been collecting and selling classic, muscle, and (drag) race cars my whole life. I'm thinking it's time for me to start doing it full time.

Yeah that's what I was thinking about that name. I agree it needs to be something more unique. Thanks for the suggestion.

So it's a dealership type setting? Or a custom shop?

It's mainly a dealership. We do light work, mainly bolt ons and we do have a paint and body shop off site.
