"I can't get over how gorgeous this is!" the actress, 49, gushed of the vintage vehicle. "I grew up in a car like this. I spent so much time in the back of that car ... some really great times in my formative years." Who knew? Here are a few other things about Parker that became clear in this video.

"Just the other neighborhood kids had [ice cream from a truck]. Not us. Not the Parker kids," she said. "[We had a] half-gallon of Breyer's, maybe, once every two to three months. And then it was gone in about 24 hours and my mom was like, [screaming] 'Go easy on the ice cream!'"

"Twenty bucks?" she asked. Upon seeing how much the comedian ended up leaving ("Vulgar!" she exclaimed), Parker got a bit more serious. "It's lovely," she said. "I'm a total s***."
