Is this assuming the driver of a car with curb whiskers must be a woman, or is the 'she' in the answer referring to the car?

...back then, the stereotype was that the little woman was too busy cooking, baking, cleaning, etc. and didn't have time to learn
to be a good driver. Obviously, one of the last male chauvinists is Frank Kaiser, who composed the test.
