You guys noticed how the writers were knocking it out of the park once they began to compete with TV in 1950? I rate this as the #2 best radio episode only behind…A Day at the Races.
I have another version of this skit on a reel-to-reel tape, but the buying a car part is still basically the same. The recording on tape is from an old record (due to the typical sounds you hear on records, like scratches, skips, and so on). I didn't record the tape. Someone else did. I bought the tape from eBay, not knowing it had this very skit (or a variation of it). One thing I like about these type things, like old radio shows, is listening to a piece of history.

This might be the best episode they ever done! All of them were on fire.
Jack and Phils bit on the phone...Classic. Love Jack Benny!
I hear the voice of Mrs. Davis from Our Miss Brooks
I like Jack's adlibs when Mary goofs up, which is just about every show.

The Max Factor letter joke destroyed me.
Mel Blanc as Polly
Lucky Strike commercials always sound like brainwashing. "you will enjoy them." "you will think they taste better."
The nature of ads from the very beginning.
