'Old Favourite Car-tunes'
Animation. Starts with brass band playing in a pavillion. Characters relaxing on the beach. A character pulls his car up to a garage and starts selling various items from the car - ice cream, fish and chips, lemonade etc... The garage owner gets annoyed and tries to get rid of the character selling his wares. The car won't start. They both look through a viewer labelled 'Hot Stuff'.
