Hoopties and short dogs fuel Memphis car culture
In Memphis a culture of aging American cars from the 60s to 90s thrives among young black and white men. Enthusiasts modify Chevys Pontiacs Buicks and Cadillacs for power paint and rims, while car lots and recyclers supply bodies and parts. Theft risk rises with mid 80s to early 90s GM models, but owners pursue affordable prestige and dating edge.
