That one time in the late 1950s Leave It To Beaver actor Tony Dow was playing Baseball with a few cast members and smashed the ball very hard with his bat it cracked a nearby Porsche front windscreen. The Porsche belonged to actor Steve McQueen who was at the studio filming Wanted Dead Or Alive. Tony Dow froze when McQueen said I hope you got insurance kid. McQueen was messing with him. And said don't worry I did far worse at your age. And drove off with a cracked windscreen!




If you think your car in the morning is cold, have a look at this 30th Infantry Division Willys jeep in Malmedy Belgium 80 years ago. And they risked getting killed by an enemy!


That would be $7,273.74 in today's dollar.
