Anderson cart noun a cart made from a cut-down car and pulled by horses, during the 1930s depression; later, any car that ran out of petrol or broke down CANADA
Named after Premier Anderson of Albert, it originated during the depression, as did the Bennett Buggy. [It] was made from a car chassis with much of the body and often the front two wheels removed. The expression blamed politicians for hard times. — Chris Thain, ColdasaBayStreetBanker’sHeart, p. 3, 1987
