Dayzees? (Google didn’t help me much here…)

I believe that should be Days-Ease...it was sort of the '70s version of Febreeze.

The appliances were from True Value Hardware Stores. (She just called the numbers so painfully slow ... ).

The Chevrolet Caprice Classic convertible came with these options: power windows, door edge guards, air conditioning (presumably the Four Season type, not the more luxurious Comfortron), remote-control outside rearview mirror, steel-belted radial whitewall tires, deluxe bumpers and guards, and AM/FM stereo radio.

The Chevrolet Monte Carlo had these WSW tires, wheel covers, deluxe bumpers and guards, vinyl roof and outside mirrors (likely the sport-styled type); and there probably was much more on this car that was not on Johnny O's copy. I think the sportswear was from Bear Ellis.
