"The Black Tiger" by Patrick O'Connor is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The story centers around Woody Hartford, a seventeen-year-old mechanic deeply immersed in the world of hot rod racing, and his dreams of competing with his prized possession, a 1940 Ford coupé affectionately named "Cindy Lou." The narrative explores Woody's dilemmas involving his aspirations for racing against the backdrop of teenage relationships and rivalry. The opening of the novel introduces Woody at his job at McNess Union Service Station, where his thoughts are split between the love of his hot rod and the two girls vying for his attention—Cindy Lou, whom he dreams of racing, and Mary Jane, who expects a night out with him. As Woody navigates the challenges of his youthful priorities, he interacts with eccentric characters, including his boss Worm, who has a unique perspective on cars. This portion sets the stage for both Woody's motor racing aspirations and his developing relationships, drawing readers into the excitement and tensions of his teenage life amid the culture of car racing.
