That's a third time this week darn car Makes me so darn mad. I'd like to give it a good kick in the old chassis Well, you caught me birdie, but that doesn't exactly make you Frank, but the car wouldn't start Well, I just wanted to remind you we need to meet the lunch, Mr. You'll see but if the car won't start I can warm up the lampstool again lampstool. I'll start it if I have to blast it Probably then then well just what we need natural born mechanic Uncle mortman and I have played hi folks Oh Mars And am I glad to see you thanks say is that mr. Bullard's car over there across the street that new one? It's a 46 isn't it? Yeah, it's a pep, huh? He was the first man in summerfield to get delivered. You think he got the congressional medal. He's got so stuck up over it Look at it part there in front of his house. So everybody will see it. That's a view though He must have pulled or something to get it. He's not so much. I'm thinking of getting a new car myself Okay, really? No kidding very possible. We're gonna find a new car these days. Don't worry, Ben I've got my eye on a car that'll make Bullard's look sick. Where Bullard isn't the only man in this town that has connections In the meantime, of course, we're dependent on the old bus Say Ben if you're not planning to do anything I'll go mort you cut that out my dear. What do you mean? You're trying to get Ben to fix your car. I simply want to ask him a question Ben is an expert. I value his opinion. What seems to be the trouble, Mr. Gildersley? Car won't start Was probably cold if he tried priming it priming it. Yeah, just how do you do that, Ben? Oh, it's very simple. You just well followed be easier to show you then What's the matter? The last time on he got you to fix his car It took two hours and when you finished you were so dirty you had to go home. Remember well This wouldn't be anything like that honest. Oh, you make me sick Marjorie I'm afraid Marjorie sometimes forgets that the whole world was not constructed for her pleasure. She'll get over it Right out in the garage, Ben go out the back way if you like Thanks, I'll guess I'll go out the back way I've made it my mind yet my boy. I'm simply considering it. She mr. Bullard's car looks super wish we had it I don't like to see signs of envy in you my boy Especially envy of other people's material possessions. Mr. Bullard has a new car. We have an old car. That's all we have a broken down old car We've spent a lot of pleasant hours in it. We should be thankful. We have any car at all. Okay. I'm thankful Just the same it'd be nice to be rich like the bullets. We're not poor Leroy I could buy a new car tomorrow if I wanted to but I happen to think there are things more important than owning a flashy car Yeah, your education for instance, I believe you're old enough to know that the war bonds I've been laying aside or intended to send you to college. Maybe I don't want to go. Oh, yes, you will You're taking the short view my boy college is very important Where do you think I'd be today if I hadn't had a college education? Things are not tough I'm a prosperous man relatively speaking and I intend to send you to college But if you don't show some signs of ambition pretty soon, I'll blow the money on your sister Well, watch it. That's all Won't be impatient my dear doorbell. I'll go they'll bend to keep plugging out there Leroy keep coming Lila. I don't mind Yes, yes, I suppose you happen to be driving downtown this morning by an impossible time. Well, I'll tell you how it is I wouldn't want you to make a special trip Understand, I wouldn't have you do that for the world of my hairdress is I'd be glad to take you Lila But I've been having a little trouble with the car It won't go. Maybe I can ride down with mr. Bullard. I'll see his cars out in front of their house Maybe now wait a minute my car will be fixed in just a minute Lila bends out there working on it right now Isn't he Margie? Well as long as I'm not so late that Vera won't take me Have you seen mr. Bullard's new car? Yep, isn't it just simply gone stock model there'll be millions of them I'd love to ride in it. Wouldn't you what for the only thing that's different about it is the bumper Under the hood. It's the same old car But it's so new and so Handsome, I don't know. Maybe it's just a weakness of mine, but I simply love high powered motor cars I like to get out on a country road with a top down and feel the wind Racing through my hair. Don't you I know something better than that Haven't you something to do on now. He'll be in any minute I was telling Marjorie Lila that I've been thinking some of buying a new car myself. Have you really well I suppose it takes months unless you're someone important like mr. Bullard I could get this one tomorrow if I made up my mind to buy it really what kind of a car is it's rock model as white sidewall tires I mean what make what make it's a cord a Card are they good? Are they good? They're so good. They stopped making them Before the war even they were too good for the average man. Oh You really should see this baby. Lila. It's like it's like new 5,000 miles than the owner was drafted Long and low with the top you can let down boy if you like wind in your hair, you could have a picnic in this one Oh We could go for long drives together in the country just you and me and I fix a little basket line with fried chicken with my famous fried chicken and we'd stop in some nice quiet place Where there was a little brook, maybe and I'd carry you across the brook just like in the movies Marjorie Yes, goodness, I keep forgetting Marjorie sounds a little upset. Yeah, they get that way so you forget it Where were we? You were carrying me across the brook if I remember correctly What would we do after that Lila? Well, we we'd wander through the meadow picking cow slips, maybe Violets I'd rather pick violets. They smell nicer. I know let's pick wild strawberries Okay wild strawberries and after a while when we were tired of picking strawberries, you know what we do we need them No, we'd lie down side by side. I'm a nice Moshi ground and just look up at the sky and watch the pretty clouds drift by over here So pretty and then what would we do? We jump in your car and dash back to town Glad you're giving up the old car now. Wait a minute. I didn't say I've never said anything about it But I guess it's all right to now. I've always felt kind of funny driving around with you in that old car But Lila, I mean it's more of a family type of car with all those things in the backseat skates and all I've been after Leroy to get those out of there, but about the new car Lila. I was only thinking about that gosh I don't know if I can even afford it. Oh Leroy How's Ben coming there's mr. Bullock coming out of his house. He must be going downtown Leroy, honey run across Street and stop mr. Bullock before he drives off with you Ask him for my ride down with it. Well now wait Leroy Leroy, how's Ben coming with a car? Well, wait a minute then My car is fixed Lila Ben's got it fixed. You don't have to go with Bullard. You can ride down with me Oh, I wouldn't want to put you to any trouble. No trouble Lila. I have to do some shopping for birdie Oh, I'd cry at you. You have the car full of groceries plenty of room in the front seat I have to go anyway Lila, please. Oh, well, you're sweet to ask me Throckmorton some other time She's ashamed She's ashamed of me in my car. I don't care what anybody says. I'm going down there right now and have a demonstration Find out what happens in just a few moments. Mr. Lange I was listening last week when you explained why a park a margin is sometimes so hard to get in the food stores these days Yes, even though craft is making all the park a margarine it possibly can with limited supplies There still isn't enough to meet the big demand. You're right about that big demand one my own family There's a husband and two children who demand park a at every meal I've tried other brands of margarine, but only parka's flavor seems to satisfy them That's what millions of families have discovered Parka's unmatched flavor has made it one of America's favorites spreads for bread believe me I'm keeping a sharp lookout for every new supply of park a my dealer gets that's a good idea Because parka is now an even more valuable food every pound is being fortified with 15,000 units of vitamin a and Every craft food dealer is getting a fair share of all the park a margarine that's available So please be patient when supplies are temporarily short and remember to keep asking for park a parka y Parka margarine made by craft Now let's get back to the great guilders leave We find whizzing along in the family car with his nephew LeRoy I'll bet when we get there the barbershop will be full and you just wait your turn And you get on the end of it Never mind where I'm going.

I just want you to get behind that wheel a minute. Oh, well You ever see such a big steering wheel on no, what's the idea of such a big wheel, Mr. Gans?

Just look at that speedometer, sonny goes up to 120 Well, I generally stay around 35 But of course with all this power, you won't know you're over 30. It's that smooth.

Oh, of course About how much would you want for this car, Mr. Gans if I was thinking of buying it commissioner?
