Krautcar
My father reached adulthood in a much more turbulent time when Germans and Japaneese were trying to take over the world thru invasion, torture and mass murder. Thus anything having to do with them or their products was given a demeaning term.
Krautcar was what my Ford-man-all-the-way father and his friends called German cars.
In case you didnt know, Kraut referring to Germans comes from the fact that German sailors traditionally ate a lot of sourkraut at sea to ensure minimal nutrition, much the way the British (or "Limies") ate durable fruits like limes.
