One of my favorite Flintstones cartoons has to do with automotive auctions e vehicle they bid on is a car that was involved in a bank robbery. The gangsters want to get it back because the trunk has the money from the bank robbery in the trunk.
So the gangster sends one of his minions to the automotive auction to bid on the car. He tells him he better out bid everyone else. The minion warns Fred and Barney not to bid on the car. This makes Fred all the more determined to out bid and win the car. During the bid the gangster’s minion is eating a bag of peanuts. In the heat of bidding he chokes on the peanuts and cannot raise his voice to bid on the car. Fred and Barney win the bid and drive off the gangster’s car.
The minion gets Fred’s address from the automotive auction people. In the meantime Fred and Barney are cruising around in this snazzy caveman roadster. They show up at their house where their wives are at first aghast at the new car but then fall in love with the stylish vehicle. Fred and Barney take the car out to the supermarket to buy some groceries for the party they are going to have to celebrate their new car.
The gangster’s henchmen have caught up with Fred and Barney at his house. They follow the boys as they leave for the market. They start firing their guns at Fred and Barney. They have prehistoric guns. A sling shot with a trigger and barrel made of wood. The guns launch rocks with deadly force, not so much accuracy though.
They are being hailed with rocks and it is only a matter of time before one of them is hit and killed. At least that is what we are led to believe. Rocks can kill you right? Fred is flooring the sedans engine. What kind of engine runs on foot power anyway. Barney yells out to Fred to drive up the hill where he sees a large house where they can find shelter. They drive up and the garage door suddenly opens. Fred drives in. The garage door slams shut behind them.
But they do not know this is the hide out of the head gangster. Fred and Barney are trapped. The gangsters tie them up and start asking where the money is. The boys have no idea what they are talkiing about. They were simply looking for a good deal at the automotive auction. The gangsters find the money in the trunk to the surprise of Fred and Barney.
The gangsters believe they are telling the truth that they did not know about the money. But because they know too much they have to be disposed of. He loads his gun. All of a sudden the police rush in. They had the car under surveillance at all times. They were trying to trap the gangster and his henchmen. They knew he would try to buy the car from the auction.
The boys are heroes. They get a small reward, but not the car. Now you will not have such an adventure when you go to automotive auctions but you will get a good car and a good price.
