Looks like it is the Rambler American, second generation from 1961-1963. Compare the red convertible in SelleckLover's wiki link (under second generation) to these pictures...

Yes! I believe you guys have found it! It appears to be a '63 Rambler American! :shock:

I could be wrong, but I think this is the only time we see Agatha driving a car, ANY car!

I bet she's got a lead foot, too! ;)

Yep, I think we can put this puppy to bed. Ironic, though, that the MOST British lady on the show is driving a car named "American."

If you need to see it, here's a rear view (though of a convertible).

hehe, it does give the impression that it could be an English car, at least to me. When I saw the show I probably assumed it was.

Long story . . . no.

He met her in London while he was there filming "Lassiter." She was performing in "Cats" on the London stage. I would assume she came over to Hawaii for this episode (and for her other brief appearance in another episode) because they were already dating at the time. Or perhaps this episode was written for her at TS' request.

You can probably research this in more detail on the internet but this will give you a starting point. Or someone else here can fill in all the rest of the details.

But this is a short answer to your question.

Thanks Golf! I have always wondered if they had a connection before this was filmed.

At the end of "All For One", Kenji the gardener is seen raking the tidal pool beach. Lord help me for knowing that. ;)

Oh come on! I pop popcorn in my car all the time! I use my Orville Redenbacher A/C Air Popper adapter that fits in my cigarette lighter. You never know when you're going to chance upon a drive-in theater -- and you know how they soak you for poporn in those places! I can use my adapter for my cappuccino maker also -- who needs Starbucks anymore??

And if you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell you! I guess that's where the phrase "suspension of disbelief" comes in! :D :D

I haven't known of anyone else who pops popcorn in his/her car. However, I suppose, had it been one of the Jiffy-Pop aluminum "frying pan" containers instead of cans of cola left in the back of my hatchback car in south Texas, then it might have popped. The cola cans did!

I can't find, on initial Googling, a popcorn popper that runs off the cigarette lighter plug, but I did find a mini-microwave oven that does:

Travel microwave

I suppose this would work if one has a long road trip planned and a jones for popcorn -- or the kiddies do! Could be the answer to someone's prayer.

Personally, I think it would just be easier to buy the bags of already popped popcorn . . . .
