The dewey cheetham & howe sign can be seen on the third floor window of 1 jfk street at the corner of jfk and brattle streets in harvard square, cambridge, ma. The sign adorns the former headquarters of the npr radio show ‘car talk’ hosted by tom & ray magliozzi also known as click and clack, the tappet brothers. The sign is associated with the fictional law firm where the magliozzi brothers claimed to work during their show.
During each episode of "car talk," tom and ray would banter and dispense advice on car-related problems from callers. They often interjected with jokes, puns, and witty remarks, and the mention of "dewey, cheetham & howe" became a recurring gag throughout the show's run. The magliozzi brothers' use of the fictional law firm's name added to the lighthearted and comedic tone of "car talk," endearing them to listeners and contributing to the show's popularity over its long tenure on npr.
Although the magliozzis specialized in self-deprecating humor, often noting that their advice was “unencumbered by the thought process,” both were graduates of the nearby massachusetts institute of technology (mit). The brothers operated a garage in cambridge, ma through the 1980s, but the radio show’s offices were located in “car talk plaza” in the middle of harvard square, behind the window sign for the fictional law firm of dewey, cheetham & howe.
Celebrate the iconic humor of this iconic harvard square sign with our vintage-inspired dewey, cheetham and howe t-shirt. Inspired by the legendary window sign, this tee captures the whimsical spirit of npr's "car talk" and the beloved banter of click and clack, the tappet brothers.
