What happens
Alice Faye has spent weeks shopping for a new car and cannot settle on one, so Phil Harris goes along with her to every dealership in town. At last she chooses a convertible from a salesman who is at the end of his patience. Once the car is home, Alice finds grease on the axle and a scratch to complain about, and Phil and Frankie begin tinkering with a stuck windshield wiper. The episode is a comedy of the Harris household, first aired on NBC on March 19, 1950, and starring Phil Harris and Alice Faye.

Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
