Sorry Geoff. I saw a preponderance of Chevy's in these shop scenes. Chevrolet's symbol was actually patterned after a bow tie design that William Durant saw in wallpaper in a French Hotel.aaah now I get it, I just clicked on the pics after seeing Tonys response and was looking for one of the characters wearing a bowtie!Bowtie Monday - how cool!
Hollis frowns on his mechanics actually wearing ties of any kind, but especially standard long ties - after "Neckless Nicky" got his tie caught in a spinning fan belt last year!

@perrone1 Neckless Nicky eh? Well he was certainly cool about it and hasn't needed a haircut since then.
