songs on the East Coast, and in the UK.Probably predominately just a
California thing ? Am I correct ?

Where I grew up in Ohio there were several car clubs when i was in
high school ('55-'59). Hot rodders, while not being predominnat, were
around and we were certain to notice their hopped up rides. We had
bikers too.
One club was "The Kleen Kar Klub" (KKK?), rhw other was "Satan's
Angels." Although they might have been more of a clique than about
cars.

When I stared driving in '64, I think they were mostly done around

plaque ( a caveman snapping a shaft over a campfire) that they installed
beneath the rear window.

The UK chapter of The Shaft Snappers have a very similar plaque
depicting a caveman snapping Isaac Hayes over a campfire
