@jalefkowit (Also, the "deuce" in "Little Deuce Coupe" doesn't refer to the number of passengers or number of doors; it refers to the infinitely customizable 1932 Ford.) #WeirdCarMastodon 3/3
@jalefkowit Thanks for sharing that! Also, fun fact: for 19th century young people, the "one horse open sleigh" was the equivalent of the later "Little Deuce Coupe": it was fast so they'd hold races (ergo the bit about getting flipped over on a snowbank), AND it could only hold two passengers (so young men and women could talk – and maybe more – without a chaperone sitting in the back seat).
Yes, "Jingle Bells" is about drag racing and making out. It's "American Graffiti" v.19c.

Just when you thought 170 Cortinas was enough we had 239 at the Show and Shine today.
