I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

We have a thread going on the NC page about an event that is coming together during the Good Guys weekend in Charlotte (Oct 28-30), but I thought I would post on here to get some feedback.

I have been organizing a Cruise In / Drive In Movie event in Mooresville, during the Good Guys weekend. You can read about the event on the link provided below.

Not only would I like to invite everyone down, I need a catchy name. Something for marketing and t-shirts that conveys the uniqueness of this event.

Most people haven't been to a drive in movie in over 20 years... we are bringing one back for a one time event.

Read more here...

The only thing I've been able to come up with so far is "Flashback to the 50's"
and I guess you can call that the 'working title'. You can see the event page on my website here I have put some info on there as well as a temporary logo.

But, there has to be someone on here who is more creative than me. Give me some thoughts.

Hey, by the way... I finally got ahold of Hailey at Duke today via email. She said they cant help us out ... BUT! (maybe I should quote her on this one)
"Unfortunately, I can’t secure any funds for a sponsorship of your event. However, if this is an event that requires volunteers and manual labor, your Duke contact might be able to secure a company grant for your organization. It is certainly worth looking into. Every Duke Energy employee has the opportunity to apply for grants for projects. The grant money is dependent on the project, which must have “sweat equity” – meaning there needs to be something physical the employee/s can do for the project too. Try reaching out to your Duke contact (you can even ask him to call me and I can advise him on how to apply for grants). Typically, the grants are for projects like serving people at a soup kitchen or building shelves, but I know they have gone to help support events as well, like the Special Olympics."

Are ya busy Saturday, October 29th? :devil: Do ya wanna help out :D Maybe earn some "sweat equity"? You're my only Duke contact!

my parents have always called going to the theatre "the show" so i like
The car show at THE SHOW! sorta cheesy but the 1st thing i thought of.

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

"Flashback to the 50s" makes it sound like only 50s cars are welcome...but with that said, I don't have a better suggestion...

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

What movie is showing? Without knowing that I'll offer "Flashback Theater","Mooresville Drive-in Classic",or maybe the best and most simple,"Cruise-in Movie". Maybe "Mooresville Cruise-in Movie". If it turns into anything big the town would sure appreciate the props.

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

The movie is yet to be determined. Maybe I should be asking for feedback on that too. It's a family event, but I also want a movie that will keep the audience of older car guys around. Perhaps something nostalgic, but kid (ages 8-12) oriented too.

The name is turning out to be a tough one. I want something that sounds unique.
Only other thing that has crossed my mind is ...
Maybe a fall or Halloween theme, since it is a few days before Halloween

HalloWheels and Reels
Harvest Moon Drive In & Car Show

or maybe just:
Wheels and Reels
Hot Rods and Reels (sounds a little fishy though)

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

Reel Classics
Rods and Reels Cruise
Bad Moon Cruise-in

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

Personally, I'd show CARS. Kids love it and as an adult, I love it. Maybe a modern day cool car movie like the Gone in 60 seconds remake. If you want to piss off a lot of the older car guys in the crowd show The Fast and the Furious :lol:

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

:gi: "Reel Classics Cruise-In"

And maybe a double feature; "Cars" as the early show, and something like "Bullitt" for the late show.

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

Showtime Cruise

If it was me, I'd have "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", just because as a youth (yute) I went to see that show at the drive in about 15 times, and never saw more than 10 minutes of it.

I think your folks are gonna be to busy to care what the movie is.

I'd try to get some old car commercials as fillers before and in between shows.

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

Or maybe couple of the Public service shows for Hot Rodding of the 50's.

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

In the movie Dirt Mary and Crazy Larry the 66 or so Impala,Biscayne takes the longest cop chase beating I think I can remember in a movie. ..so at least the background noise when nobody is watching the movie will be good..;) the 3rd wheel guy that rides in back seat is the mechanic....

'' Small Town in Texas '' movie has a 66 or so chevy pickup with a supposed 427 CI in it. .... when the runaways who borrow it come up on the older guy who owns it, he is shooting at it iirc, because it won't start. ...:lol:

this thread and posts make me want to mention this Drive-in idea to my highschool class for our 30th Reunion 2012. .... .....good stuff

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

I had thought about it, but I was afraid our crowd would thin out too much to justify a double

I like it too!

Tough crowd for a horror movie. But, I like the idea of old car commercials. Nice!

Yeah, that would be cool. You guys wanna come down for it?

Re: I need a catchy title for a "cruise in" I am organizing, any ideas?
 

I think we are gonna go with "Reels and Wheels". We had to finalize something to sell to sponsors.

If you are coming down to Good Guys in Charlotte at CMS, this "little" car show has escalated into something a little bigger. Lots of sponsors/ prizes/ giveaway items like t-shirts/hats/gift certificates/etc...

The car show/drive in is located about 25 minutes from the Charlotte Motor Speedway. We will have food and concessions, so just plan on spending Saturday evening with us.

Hopefully we'll see ya here!
