"One night in September 1953, Walter Winchell got on the air and declared that Lucille Ball was a communist... For Lucy the charges came about when a voter’s registration card of hers from 1936 showed that she intended to vote for the Communist Party. She testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee explaining that she had no intention of ever voting communist – She didn’t even know a thing about politics. She had only registered as a communist to please her “Daddy”, Grandpa Hunt, who wanted his grandchildren to do so. In 1936 it wasn’t such a terrible thing, so they did it without giving it a second thought. Lucy was cleared of all charges and the public loved her more than ever after the ordeal."

#5 Um, there appears to be an extra set of gams in the "12 pack of Gams" shot, not that I'm complaining....

#7 No peeking or googling: just what kind of car is that "Flashy Red Sports (not!) Car?"
Bonus points for description of the engine (cu. in., number of cylinders, etc. "cast iron" is not sufficient)
