Searched Jalopy and here's one I found


Teenage Boys
Teenaged boys, who are junior members of the Molesters Club (as indicated by large "M"s sewn on the seats of their pants) leaning into the engine area of Richard Burns' 1927 Ford Model T jalopy named "Tooty".

interesting...nice place to wear your colors too.

 

Geez...they are called "the Molesters"?

and they put the "M" on their rears?

and then they bend over for their photo?

there are so many "punchlines" there I wouldn't know where to start.

 

Use anything that pops in your head, any racing terms etc. I can't remember them exactly. Sometimes there is a box with similar pics that go with the pic you select so check that out too.

 

mercury...

 

Sure seems dodgy from today's perspective, but I'd bet the Molesters molested cars and wore their 'colours' on their butts as that's what could usually be seen stickin' out of engine bays.

 

Found this under "Traditional" Hope this doesnt throw a monkey wrench into our way of thinking

 

Nice socks!

 

This is something you probably wont ever see anymore Da Cat Mickey Dora.... cool pic!

 

The VW archives are crazy...
