Cool A smog-belching junk heap of an automobile
Given the concept: "A smog-belching junk heap of an automobile," can you say to me the exact meaning?

Is it referring to a sort of car that's a heap of junk spitting a lot of smoke? A very old one?
Or may it be a car made of different car parts?

Thank You
