First, there’s his self-admitted love of his ancient Ford Taurus SHO, which made an appearance in his first episode as “Tonight Show” host. Then, last night we caught him in a skit with Donald Trump opening a trunk full of The Donald’s new book. The car? It’s a new Acura TL, which has been much-maligned because of its design.
And based on the sales numbers, Conan appears to be one of a very few people who bought one.
After bragging so much about the Taurus SHO, we can only assume the TL is more of a daily driver. Still, Leno was buying a new vintage car every week when he was hosting.
For the record, the staff of Cars.com has plenty of suggestions if Conan blows it and one of us is tapped to host late night’s most famous hour.
