Cars: Fatty drives a pre-1916 Ford Model T shortened about two feet. That gorgeous car that Fatty accidentally pulls apart is a 1931 or 1932 Auburn Boat-Tail Speedster. The dark touring car that is stuck in a parking space is a late 1920s Marmon.
Pete the Dog, complete with hand painted eye ring, has a prominent part in this short, although he was still a member of Hal Roach's Our Gang in 1933.
Most of the outdoor scenes were shot silent with the sound post-recorded.
The final shot shows the elevated Avenue M Station of the Q subway line. At the time of filming, this portion of the route was known as the Brighton Line of the Brooklyn-Manhattan Transit Corporation (the BMT). A smokestack with "Vitagraph Co." still exists two blocks north of the station, marking part of the former studio property.
A shot of an old fashioned traffic signal, where "Stop" and "Go" signs raise and lower, is recycled from the ultimate half second of Central Park (1932), just as it's rapidly fading to black.
