In the UK that situation didn't really occur until the late 1950s, when new cars came to be more readily available; in the early/mid-1950s pre-war cars were the usual mode of transport, that's if your father could even afford a car. Our family transport throughout the 1950s was a 1936 Lagonda Rapier, which elicited the response 'Cor! Racer' when I started school, but within five years that became 'Cor! Banger'!
