Tintop means coupe or berlinetta

Or a non-"sports" shaped car, as in tin-top racing as a description for touring car racing.

Some of the slang from when I was growing up:

Curb-side cruiser - Left hand drive

Heat and Beat - Heater and Radio

Fire and Fiddle - Heater and Radio

Sheeps feet and cow's clothes - woollen carpets and leather seats

Fat feet - wide wheels

Three on the tree or four on the floor - 3-speed column shift or 4-speed floor shift

That reminds me of an old joke, can't remember exactly how it went now.   

What do you get if 4 gay guys are in a Sandman??


Four on the floor with fats all round. 



Well, it was funny at primary school.   :p
