Re: The Old Motor
I just did a 'find' in the article on Groucho, and someone had posted this a couple of days ago ---

The last photo looks like an older Groucho Marx sitting on the Model A truck.
No Ford oval in the radiator.
Not that Groucho ever drove a truck. In the 20s when he and his brothers were on Broadway, he was a fan of luxury cars, he wrote once that he had a Pierce Arrow.
One story he told:
One day he was washing it near Central Park.
A guy passes and says it’s a beautiful car.
“Yes” Groucho says, it belongs to my boss”.
The stranger asks what It’s like being a chauffeur…
“He pays terrible…but he lets me sleep with his wife”…
