When my childhood buddy Al first got his driver’s license, he borrowed the family car, a 1954 blue Plymouth we called the Fleet because of the sailing ship medallion on its hood. Like every sedan back then, the Fleet had a closed-in trunk. We decided to put it to good use. Al pulled up at a red light. The trunk sprang open and there I was, sitting inside, eating a sandwich.
