Outside of the cast, there are a few things from the show that people still wonder about. One thing in particular is the 1921 Oldsmobile Model 46 Roadster. The car was a key component of the show, and remained on it for the entire show. The car was even shipped across the ocean for some episodes that were filmed in England! It has spent many years in museums, and recently ended up at an auction. Can you guess how much it sold for?

The customized vehicle ended up at an auction in 2015, and eventually went for a whopping $275 million dollars! That was quite a feat, seeing as the car probably cost less than $3,000 when it was brand-new. This roadster was equipped with a V8 engine, and each of the eight cylinders were meant to hold ether or another solution for a quick start. Surprisingly, the car always rode like a dream, even in the winter!
