In a very early episode of nighttime wheel (pre 1986) i  seem to remember the bonus prize one night being a replica antique car. it was a white convertible that looked like it was from the 30s' and i think it was worth 80k+,. can anyone else recall this?

anyone?

Don't remember the price, but I thought it was in the low 20K range. I def. remember seeing the car on a GSN rerun, in season one or so. I thought it was a cream color

I have an episode on tape with a car like that. I just looked around for it in my girlfriend's apartment and I don't see it anywhere, it must be at my house with some of the rest of my stuff (I thought most of my stuff was here). I don't remember exactly how much it was, I think it may have said $17,000 but that sounds awfully high, if I remember correctly that thing was pretty small. I remember the description for it in the one I have on tape says "And....be the hit of your town in this.....". If nobody has any more info on it I will dig for that this weekend and get the info. I know exactly what tape it is.

It wasn't an Excalibur, was it?

/only mentioning this because they made them in Milwaukee
There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.
