Actually, Eastwood has brought back that design a few times, currently there’s a 12…

Breadwinner 12

Featuring 12 strings for fans of all things chime and jangle, the Breadwinner 12 offers the same aesthetic and feel as its 6-string counterpart, but adds a sonic landscape that's as expansive as your imagination. Whether you're strumming chords with shimmering brilliance or picking out intricate...

…and also a lefty sitar. Inspired by the original being used by Colin Newman of Wire, a band I was a big fan of. I know I’ve recently seen some indie band with one, but just can’t place it right now.

Highly illogical. I don’t recall seeing him wear anything like that. But then, I haven’t seen every episode(let alone all the films). I have a life, which I spend far too much of here.

You are absolutely correct, and I have seen nearly every episode since day 1. That only ones missed might be some of the newer releases. Of course, if they have a time travel episode they could include it back then...........

A replica of my ‘69 Toyota Corona

Not a replica, but thought this might be interesting. The local Toyota dealership has on display the very first car they sold, a Corona (not certain, but pretty sure it's a '69). My son works there (paint/body shop, he's not a salesman!), and says they spent something north of $100K on the restoration, sparing absolutely no expense to make sure everything was perfect. Here's a writeup they did in their newsletter a year ago on the 10th anniversary:

And here's a pic of it at some late stage of the restoration:

It as probably under $2k new.
I worked in a restoration shop. The average properly done resto was $140k.

It never really mattered if they used it in the show or not. If there's a buck to be made in the merchandising world, they'll sell it. I remember back in the day, most of us were probably not to discriminating about that stuff.

More of an LA thing. The overspray when they painted the wheels to match got all over the sidewalls of the tires.

We had those around where I lived too, Olympia, Washington. The saying went.....
If you leave your windows down, we'll paint the inside for free.

We have two of those on our back porch, in the faded green color but not rusty. My parents have been hanging on to them forever, even packed them for their cross country move.

YES! I have mentioned my uncle who worked for Zenith, and always had their newest tech at his house. I vividly remember those four-button "clickers!"

My father called them clickers. The garage door opener was also a clicker.
Any guesses where that comes from?
