"THE LITTLE OLD LADY FROM PASADENA" "The Little Old Lady from Pasadena" was an imaginary icon of the period based on the local folklore premise that Pasadena, California was a city with one of the largest death rates in the nation. Many elderly couples retired to Pasadena in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s as refugees from the Dust Bowl, refugees of the Great Depression and refugees of post-World War II. After a time the husband died, and the widow was left with the home. But in the garage would be the man’s car, that in most cases, she didn’t drive — an old Woody, a Buick Roadmaster, or a 50-some-odd Cadillac, a vintage Ford, an old Packard, Studebaker, De Soto, La Salle. Used car salesmen were often spoofed as saying the previous owner was "a little old lady from Pasadena who only drove it to church on Sundays," thus suggesting the car had been only gently used. From this premise Jan and Dean sang a song dedicated to that little old lady from Pasadena who, in the case of this tune, has a hot "Super Stock Dodge" or a 1964 Dodge Polara in her garage. The twist: unlike the usual story, this little old lady not only drives the hot car, but is a street racer who can't be beat. COURTESY OF WIKIPEDIA
