   • 1945, John Steinbeck, Cannery Row:

     In mid-morning the Model T truck rolled triumphantly home to Cannery Row and hopped the gutter and creaked up through the weeds to its place behind Lee Chong’s. The boys blocked up the front wheels, drained what petrol was left into a five-gallon can, took their frogs and went wearily home to the Palace Flophouse.
