Oliver's (excellent) picture got me thinking. How do you pull off (not literally) an overcoat over sweater and shirt, without looking like you left out the jacket?
Keep it closed.
My old Saab has a heater like a furnace which precludes wearing anything heavy if you are going more than a mile or two. But most cars have air con these days which has killed the car coat being worn as a car coat. Good for convertibles though, perhaps I should look at open top Saabs?

For some reason my parents are big fans of that show. I can see the resemblance, but Oliver's a much better looking man. I'd never mistake him for that actor.
Yeah after seeing pictures of the guy online I never really took it as a compliment, haha. It's the nose, right?
You guys are making me consider stopping by there and inquiring. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will be a very old lady who'll just give it to me to get it out of her yard. You never know.
I just stopped by the Saab house but it didn't appear anyone was home. I wanted to take a closer look but didn't want to poke around without anyone being there.
Don't be such a pussy, hitch it to your truck and drive away!
Haha. I wouldn't really be the most inconspicuous car thief...
"Well, it was like this guy drove straight outta 1960. He comes up in this old pickup truck and gets out, and he looks like my grandfather. Well, it's all dusty and the smell of gasoline and rich exhaust is blanketing the scene, but he hitches the thing up and hops in and drives away. I'm pretty sure I heard some fuzzy rendition of Raunchy blasting through the tinny speaker of his truck. Then get this... as he drives past the guy looks me straight in the eye and mouthed what looked like 'I LOVE YOU' as he gave me the finger!!! It was like nothing I'd ever seen. Which way did he go you ask? That's his house right there over there."
LOL
