American style banger (6)
I believe the answer is:
jalopy
This might be a double definition.
'american style' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'banger' is the second definition.
(jalopy is a kind of automobile)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jalopy that I've seen before include "Old banger" , "Ramshackle old car" , "Old worn-out car" , "A battered old car" , "Rundown old car" .)
