Though he hasn't exactly warmed up to the prospect, Ward (Hugh Beaumont) agrees to let Wally (Tony Dow) buy a car. There's one condition: Ward has to thoroughly approve of Wally's selection. This gives Wally a bit of trepidation, in that he's currently negotiating to buy a vehicle owned by a good friend. But, as expected, Ward knows a bit more about automotive horse-trading than your average 17-year-old.
