I just can't decide what beautiful DeSoto to get for 1956 ! Maybe Groucho and George Fenneman will help me decide on a model. But, in any case, I will make SURE it is in reverse before I pull out of this scenic overlook !

I've just been watching Groucho and George Fenneman for the first time in my life. And a very charming show it is too. I'd love to see them help you choose the style and colour of your new De Soto.

Here's Groucho out driving in the desert night behind the wheel of a big 1952 DeSoto 4-door sedan (via 1/43 Franklin Mint) ! Fenneman's not along with him, but it seems Mr. Marx will have a few astonishing things he will have to realize ........

Remember it well. Another example of TV when it was fun to watch. Certainly better than all the "Reality" crap and other "junk" that's presented today as entertainment. MY opinion of course, but I'm trusting not mine alone.

@georgeschire I'm with you on this one. There's a now iconic British TV play called Abigail's Party which presaged 'Thatcher's Britain'. And from the trailers alone I stopped watching TV from then on - 1977! As things transpired, of course I watched documentaries and good 'high-brow' programmes - including comedy - which ironically came to include Abigail's Party, which only later did I learn was excellent. Goes to show!

I remember years of watching Monty Python with my friends and laughing our butts off so hard...
A lot of other people didn't laugh as hard as we did but maybe because they hadn't partaken of the bong....
