The role of the vehicle is well known. It belongs to the couple played by Grant and Loy. This is their sole source of transportation between their dwelling in Manhattan and the new residence in Connecticut. They go up to look at the house, to check on construction frequently, and after they have moved in. -- Last edit: 2007-04-01 06:57:40
