Jalopy is a 1953 comedy film starring The Bowery Boys. The film was released on February 15, 1953 by Allied Artists and is the twenty-ninth film in the series.

Plot

Sach convinces Louie to rent the back room of the sweet shop to a professor. Meanwhile Slip is preoccupied with entering their car in an auto race to raise enough money to help Louie pay his bills. They don't have any luck with the car until Sach invents a formula that makes the car go faster. A crooked gambler tries to steal the formula from them, with no luck. Slip enters into another race, but has to start the race without the formula in the car as Sach was making another batch. When Sach reaches him in the middle of the race and puts the formula in the gas tank the cars begins to accelerate...only in reverse! Sach and Slip then continue the race in reverse and wind up winning. Sach then realizes why the formula didn't work as it did before...the seltzer that he added to the formula was flat!

Production

The race scenes were filmed at the Ascot Park raceway in Gardena, California and were mainly unused scenes from The Roar of the Crowd, which was released by Allied Artists in the same year.^[1] It was also the first Bowery Boys' film released by Allied Artists, which was the new name of Monogram Pictures, the same company that all their previous films were released under.
