Thanks for the great video. It reminds me of my childhood when my father was a Buick mechanic and he would take me with him on Saturdays. But my most favorable memory was sitting in a Buick 2 seater concept car called "The Wildcat". The sister concept car was by Oldsmobile which sold at Barrett Jackson for $2,ooo,0oo acouple of years ago.

One guy asked "How many antique cars did they wreck in this film?" The answer, of course, is "none." The film was made in 1928!

I found it on the Model T Ford Club Forum. Model T guys love Laurel & Hardy, even though their car rarely survives a movie.

I wonder how many Model T Fords made their final sacrifice for the Hal Roach Studios ?

My favorite Laurel & Hardy car-short is "Hog Wild", involving Stan's Model T touring, Ollie, a ladder, and a couple of Los Angeles streetcars...

At 13:07 thru 13:17, note the car in the lower left of the frame: see the flag-holder & flags attached to the radiator filler ?

I'm not certain, but I think the big fellow in the Buick roadster immediately behind The Boys is Edgar Kennedy, frequent foil for L&H... usually played a cop.
