The dilapidated automobile that Carole Lombard gave Clark Gable is “not for sale at any price,” Gable told salesmen and souvenir hunters. Specifically, he refused $1,000 for the ancient chariot.
I read about this in Screwball the Carole Lombard biography I bought in summer of 2015. It’s a great book, but out of print & I paid more than I should have. But, I keep it out & open to look at often. It was worth the money considering how often I’ve read it & then opened again.

I remember reading about this in Gable and Lombard. He got such a kick out of this gift!
