Bob says he'll give Frankie the red Triumph TR3 as wedding present if he postpones things for a while . "Frankie says wow man I can fly through safety zones doing 100 mph" -- Last edit: 2018-01-13 05:24:54

This showroom also has a Mercedes 230SL an Austin Healy 3000 as well as the Volvo 1800S and the Red Triumph TR3 that Bob Hope is giving to "Beach Blanket Bingo" Frankie Avalon to postpone marrying his daughter. I believe these are all 1964 model sports cars even though the movie was released in 1965. -- Last edit: 2018-01-15 03:29:39

"TR3" is TR4, July 61 launch. 230 SL was 63 launch. So not necessarily a showroom of brand new 1964 cars, they could be older ones washed and polished to look fresh. But - apart from the Volvo - factory fresh also possible.
