...."nothing will out run my V-8 Ford"
A very famous lyric from Chuck Berry's Maybelline tells us what the whole youth culture was about in the 1950's.
When I was in School at the time you could buy a running automobile for $50. You could in some places legally drive it without insurance simply by registering it as an uninsured for a small fee.
You could be fined if you were driving an unsafe car but the car did not require an MOT. Once you had licence plates you could just get in the car and Goooooooo!
James Hatfield was young enough to be part of the hot rod culture that faded after the last century.
