The Old Man tells his buddy Gertz about the latest "cream puff" on Friendly Fred's used car lot in this clip from the third TV film adaptation of writer/narrator Jean Shepherd's short stories, "The Star-Crossed Romance of Josephine Cosnowski", first telecast in 1984 on PBS-TV. Jean Shepherd is best remembered for the first big-screen adaptation of his short stories in the cult 1983 film "A Christmas Story", which he also narrated.

Nothing like a Shep story.
His work is genius.

'65 to '70 we had a '52 Buick like the one in the clip. I was 12 when dad sold it to a friend's son for $75. I was sorry to see it go. I remember the view from outside of this graceful behemoth, with the colored plastic inserts inside pitted chromed potmetal bezels. Acres of painted and chromed steel, huge bias-ply whitewall tires. The commanding view and feel of the road from the inside, the smell of the mohair-filled overstuffed bench seats, the muted roar of the powerful straight-eight.

Jean Shepard tells what it's like to live life in a small town and the innocence of the 50's and 60's. I grew up in this era and these clips bring back great memories.

My father once told me of a J.S. story where Jean went to get his car painted and when he went to pick it up, he saw a car in the lot, but he hoped it wasn't his. But of course it WAS his. Jean described the color as "Goat-Puke Green". He said it looked like a pickle. It even had the little speckles on it.

@cmans79tr7 - I remember that radui show, from circa 1976. The color was "Goat Vomit Green". A quickie $99 paint job.

Anymore from this particular movie? As the husband (27 years) of a Polish broad, I am anxious to see it all.

I feel it violates the spirit of YouTube (and opens me to getting my account shut down) to post more than brief clips. Thanks for the kind words.
