Nothing like a new Healey fresh off the showroom floor equipped with a "Bermuda bell" to catch the eye of Judy Holliday:


One of my youngest son's favorite movies is Born Yesterday, Judy Holiday is very funny. She was a genius with an IQ of over 170 and seemed to often play ditzy blondes in comedies.
OT? I love Healeys and smart women.

Thanks for doing this Rick, it has been entertaining and fun. I figured that was the source for many of the clips, but you seem to have come up with more than even that site suggests.
 
Thanks for doing the homework, Rick. Your series was a lot of fun. I looked forward everyday to your next installment.

Thanks for the kind words, guys. Much appreciated. I know I won't find a clip of this one anytime soon, so we'll all have to tune in to the final season Premier episode of "Mad Men" on AMC on April 13:

"And it has a sort of reintroduction scene of Don Draper flying out to meet Megan in California that is a thing of beauty, pumped along by the furious beat of "I'm a Man" by the Spencer Davis Group – a scene that almost involuntarily makes you want to jump up and throw two fists in the air. Much of the scene is shot in slow motion and effortlessly introduces waves of bold California colors as Don coolly glides on an escalator until he slides out of the frame; Megan, all legs and sultry lips, guides her baby blue dress toward Don as she exits a fabulous green Austin-Healey convertible, completing the California vibe"

For the benefit of Editor Reid:

There's a smidgen of 100 at 4:52 and a blink of Bugeye at 5:35.


and a glimpse of a 3000 convertible driving under the credits "With Guest Star Dawn Addams".




Simon Templar also drives this BJ7 in Season 5, Episode 26, but I couldn't find a clip:
