"1960, or about thirty years after prohibition was over."

Producing liquor clandestinely to avoid taxation is bootlegging. While liquor is "legal," basically anything produced except for personal use is taxable, and personal use quantities are restricted.

You should also remember that there are still a good number of dry towns, from Wilton CT to entire counties in Texas.

There was a great article in a Mopar magazine about modified Chrysler New Yorkers in the early '60's doing 2AM runs of hootch through North Carolina. These cars had a beefed up engine, but mostly frame, suspension and brakes, so they could go with a full load in the trunk, removed back seat, etc. at +110mph. Those cars were used because they were fast, held a decent amount (the trunks on early '60's Chrysler C-bodies are huge), and would not raise suspicion when seen at a distance.

"Producing liquor clandestinely"

Yes, no, sorta, maybe.

Liquor by the drink was not legal in Texas until the 60's. Even then as now, some counties or parts of Texas counties are "dry". Some are dryer than others. Some can sell packaged beer, some can add wine and some with liquor but not by the drink. The dryest have no sales of any type.

This version of bootlegging was bringing regular, taxed liquor into a dryer area for sale. Again, this can be beer, wine or hard liquor.
