I missed that.  But what a cheapo.  He should have given her the whole 67  Riviera.

I saw that and the carb could have been correct 66 -67 ( 66 425  or 67  400 430 )  with the fuel inlet

 pointing to the passenger's side .  I was laughing and my what said " its not that funny , a carb as a gift ".

My Daughter knows how to give you "the look" when you are really lame.

 

It is kind of like this.

 

The wrinkle in the brow, rolled eyes, and a little bit of slack jaw. Where we live it says "Get back to your side of the county line."

 

Yep, I recognize the situation well.

Somewhere, I saw a deal of Jay in his early days.  Dark curly hair, height/weight proportionate, flared pants with that LONG center crease that was out past the toes of his shoes.  LONG time ago?  His "suit" was a beige-white color, too.

 

She told the story of how she got the gig of the comedy show initially.  I came to appreciate many of the people on there years later, but didn't think too much of it when it was on initially.  Phyllis Diller was another one back then, too.  Both fantastic ladies!
