Car term question.

[mk]

Can't forget that all time classic that starts ' out of San Pedro late one night, and the moon and stars were shining bright'
'Course no 'shorts' were mentioned in that song except for the implication that there might have been a search for clean ones after that ride...

that sounds like it is talking about a duce coupe or some similar rod like that.

did you read what bobby put... yeah my fuel infected stingray ( as in the 63 corvette stingray ) not a deuce coupe
and the 413 max wedge with duel quads is a dodge motor in the 62 dart

Really charp chort, man, y'know? It was lower to da ground, had twice-
Pipes, candy-apple red and button top. Oooo, clean!

I think it translates to : really sharp short :

well he edited his post before i posted the first time. but what i was saying was rod like in hot rod. and the duece coupe in american graffiti came to my mind. even thought the song was about other cars.

[fordman]

ok i asked around the net. and someone said it was your ride. another person said it was a car and interchangable for the word kemp . kemp meaning customized car from 1936-1959. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kemp

Back in my high school days(early 6o's) a short meant a hot rod,modelA or a 32 Ford with a souped up engine.Twice pipes were dual exhausts a convertible was a drop top that is what we called them in Chi-Town.

OK so after asking the question about what’s a “short”. I dug into my vinyl collection and pulled out some Beach Boys and guess what. They mention “short” in another song Cherry Coupe.

The wildest short around is my cherry, cherry coupe
It's the sharpest thing in town and the envy of my group
It's one of its kind and it really looks good
Chopped nose and deck with louvers on the hood

I won’t bore you with the rest of the lyrics I’m sure you know em.
