So long, Det. Columbo. Peter Falk Passes Away

Perhaps the world's best known Peugoet 403 driving police officer.

I enjoyed the Columbo series. My first car was a 403 sedan.
RIP

A sales technique is named after him; It is called the Columbo Close."

I never realized he had a glass eye. But, I'm no Columbo.

The glass eye was pretty hard to miss I thought!
