Rick, my recollection was that most "queens" ended up with a refrigerator (or, yes, a sewing machine, so they could sew clothes for their 12 kids) but never something as nice as a car!

Ed Bailey (I'm pretty sure I remember the name right) was the long time host. Truly a show for the homemakers of America in the early 50's (could this really have been the "Golden Age" of television?)

Ed Bailey (if my memory serves) was the Cincinnati Reds (known as the Redlegs then)catcher in the mid-50s with a team that had Ted Kluszewski at first base, Johnny Temple at second, Bobby Adams/Rocky Bridges at third,Roy McMillan at shortstop and an outfield that included Jim Greengrass, Gus Bell and Wally Post. Frank Robinson replaced Greengrass in 1956. So far as I know, none of the Redlegs ever appeared on "Queen for a Day" although Mel Queen Sr. pitched in Cincinnati post World War II.
