Austin Healey Spotted on National TV

Actually basic cable but it counts! On the new Sam Bee show she was gently ribbing Bernie Sanders on his old Chevy. I don't know why they decided to show Bernie "Fred Flintstone - ing" a Healey. Maybe one of the production crew had a Healey with bad floors...

There was a commercial last night with a Bugeye in it twice. Didn't catch who it was for but it got a lot of air time.

It's a very nice commercial for "US Bank"... with a silver Bugeye. Even the sounds were correctly captured (as a guy lusts over buying one).
 
Another "Big Healey" spotted on TV. A promo for the ABC show "The Catch". I'm assuming the Healey will be in an upcoming episode. I wonder if it's the same one used in "Mad Men"?

Well as least the spears are on correctly.
 
How 'bout the Bugeye that the gecko drives on the Geico commercials? The latest one seems to show him driving an MGA in the closeups, but it's a Bugeye in the exterior shots.
