Sad to see another old car fan passing on. I remember some of the first "hot rods" I saw on TV were on Leave it to Beaver.. http://www.latimes.com/news/obituaries/la-me-frank-bank-20130416,0,7712585.story Link to a post about Frank and some of his cars on the show. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=312870&highlight=frank+bank
"zoom-zoom, zoom-zoom-zoom-zoom---" frank was a great investor. most of the cast of "beaver" were his clients!
Wow, this is the first I'd heard of this. What a bummer. Lumpy was always one of my favorite characters on Leave it to Beaver. His Ford was soooooo sweet. Another one of the stars from my childhood is gone. Adios Clarence..........E
