Ogden Nash - hey didn't he found American Motors? (JK!)
Everyone knows Ogden Nash and Rock Hudson founded AMC.
(On second thought-- in today's terms, was Nash history's first Dad Joke writer?)
This car was in the Fourth of July parade here in Barnegat Light. I had been seeing it on the roads for the last several days. My guess is that it's circa 1950.

In junior high (as we then called middle school), I used to hitchhike to school with a friend or two. Sometimes a guy who drove one like this (dark maroon, IIRC, not light green) would pick us up. We would sink into the back seat -- soft, spacious, and far back from the driver so that it was like being chauffeured.

The cat is out! Very clever! I needed to Google several things, but they were interesting things and not sports team names. Sorry, is that a spoiler? :-)

I believe that’s a 1951-1953 Hudson Hornet - 1951 was the first year for that car and the rear was redesigned in 1954.
If you’re interested in cars that aren’t just the standard exotics or classics I can recommend curbside classic dot com. And I’m not just just saying that because I’ve contributed 1 or 2 things there over the years.

Cat is out of the bag, pending confirmation, of course. What a great meta that provided several smiles this morning while researching the solution! Thank you, Josh!

Again, a fantastic meta. A cartoon I saw a few days ago reminded me of Nudge/Spoiler #2 above:
I don't think it's a spoiler, but please

Josh,
All of your puzzles are fun to do but I think that this was one of your best. Very clever, and LOVED the MUGGLE reference!

From Ogden Nash:
The Guppy
Whales have calves,
Cats have kittens,
Bears have cubs,
Bats have bittens,
Swans have cygnets,
Seals have puppies,
But guppies just have little guppies.
