Gossip Friday: Stumped by Carole’s Gift

From October 1936:

Carole Lombard has found a “topper” for the wreck of a car she sent Clark Gable as a Valentine gift. It is an antiquated fire engine. 

When the star learned the fire engine was for sale she hurried out and took an option on it. What Gable will do with the engine is a question.

Gable turned the tables on Carole when she gave him the car, for he transformed the broken-down roadster into a snappy racing car. Carole feels that her latest gift will have him “stumped”!
