Two Jalopies

Chapter 7 is all about cars.

              The car industry in 1929 was a record breaking year, seeling more than 5 million cars. Though after the stock market crash sales dropped dramatically, almost by 2 million. By 1932 car sales were a dissappointing 1.33 million, nearly a drop nof 4 million from 1929. Sometime after 1932 car sales began go up but went back down again during 1937 and 1938. For chapter 7, being only about cars, there are car sales and different models being thrown  in. The term jalopy, old kind of broke down car and a fixer upper, is used a lot. Most cars during the depression  were of the jalopy type, usually they were put together with different parts of other cars and made to be at the best of their ability. Usually abandoned, these cars were more available than most.

Fun Fact: Oklahoma City was the first to install parking meters!
