Den of whosis? To say "een-i-kew-teh" you have to imagine yourself an old fashioned, backwater, stump preacher, the sort that also says "Jay'-Zuzz" If you have a hard time with the dialect, just say "iniquity"...
Apparently the author was exposed to a lot of bible-thumping when she was a little girl in the 30's, and could never see what it was they thought so bad about the drive-in movies. I took care to depict a generic 30's automobile, and 30's style movie cowboys (no Clint Eastwood in an unlaundered serape here). The little girl reading Darwin was my own joke at the minister's expense.

The Second World War did something weird to the evolution of automobile styles. Just as the late 30's rolled in, cars had begun to merge fenders and running boards into more rounded shapes like the Willies, late Plymouths, and late Pontiacs, which look about like the one I drew. Then no civilian cars at all were made in America from about 1941 to 1946. The first new cars off the assembly line look rather similar, but the close resemblance lasted only a year or two. By '47 or '48, styles were becomming still more streamlines, and abandoned the "roach back" look for a longer profile to incorporate rear seat space. You can't mistake a 1936 for a 1946 Ford. Yet it shouldn't have taken a whole ten years to go from one to the other, and only the missing years of development during the early 40's accounts for it.
