No jalopy can have been originally built after 1938. This is because jalopies must have running boards and external headlights. They are finest if they have rumble seats (a term I wondered about in the 50's when "rumble" meant a violent confrontation of mostly teenagers) and are roadsters (precursor to the convertible). They eventually became "hot rods" and became respectable. <br /><br />"Might's well, can't dance" was one of my favorite early teens' expressions and no, I have no idea what the heck it means.<br /><br />We did, however eventually learn what to "have moxie" came from.<br /><br />Damn!
