That's the beauty of fiction.  No need to worry about non-sequiturs like that.

 Cheers.

about the vintage.  h2g2 says it was a 1923 Tourer,        but Wikipedia 
describes two cars used on the television        show--first, a 1916 Model 25 
Tourer, and later, the 1923 Tourer.         
        
        Curiously, the car lasted five years on the radio show.  It was        
in the scripts from the start in 1937, but, in a 1942 episode,        Benny 
hands it over to the junkyard during a war-materiel scrap        drive.  And, 
then, it just reappears in the radio scripts a few        years later, as if it 
had never been gone.
          
        
        Cheers, Dave.
