There is no escaping it: dating and cars are inextricably linked up together. In the suburbs of in 1950, a high school boy couldn’t conduct his dating life without a car. It was the fundamental tool of the courtship ritual. Of course, you could borrow the family car to go on a date. But this was deeply humiliating. It was “stock”—that is, not hopped-up, modified, or customized. It bore no mark of personality. It had no identity.
