"Hoover cart" -- the remains of the old tin Lizzie being pulled by a mule During part of the great depression of the 1930's when Herbert Hoover was president, many auotomobile owners could not afford gasoline to power their cars so would cut off the rear end of the vehicle, attach a tongue and pull it as a cart with either a horse or mule. Others simply took the rear end housing out of the car, built a wooden cart over the housing and pull this with a horse or mule. These carts acquired the nickname "Hoover Carts" in "honor" of President Hoover.

Luigi's hoover car
This was in a 1928 Republican National Committee advertisement supporting Herbert Hoover. They were not saying Hoover would provide the chicken, but that he would continue the policies of the previous Republican administration which had lead the nation back to prosperity and "put a chicken in every pot, and a car in every backyard, to boot."

Yes
The best thing to do is abandon the car and seek shelter in a sturdy building. If no shelter is available take cover in a ditch or depression. Do NOT seek shelter under a bridge.
