== == This is an excerpt from Wikipedia: In addition to having many hobbies, Archie is passionate about his car. For decades, he was shown driving a 1916 Ford Model T jalopy called "Betsy." Betsy was destroyed in Life With Archie #238 (Sep '83), after Archie had Dilton Doiley install a rocket-propelled motor for a race. A test run destroyed the jalopy, but was replaced by a brand new hot rod won in a raffle by Archie's friends. In a story where Archie tried to have his jalopy insured, he described it as being a "Ford, Chevy, Plymouth, Pierce-Arrow, Packard, DeSoto, Hudson..." The insurance agent originally thought Archie wanted to insure several cars, but then Archie explained that his jalopy was "a collection of replacement parts from several junkyards", with some parts of the car dating back to 1926. In the 1990s, Archie acquired a Ford Mustang.
A jalopy poem is a type of poem that focuses on the themes of old cars or vehicles, often reminiscing about the past and reflecting on memories associated with these vehicles. The term "jalopy" typically refers to a dilapidated old car, so these poems may also explore themes of nostalgia, aging, and impermanence.
