Sure hope we can do that, Syd. It would be a big favor to a real `coupe
fan. So all you California `Coupers ask around.

Hi Percy,
Those were her words, not mine, but I've also seen that episode. I
think it was olive drab (but it was in black and white) with the red dot
in the middle of the star. She just wrote back and said that there were
Ercoupe shots in other episodes also, so I think someone connected to
the studio owned one and they used it. All we have to do is track it
down for her.
