"Bet your boots"

"Buy your new car from Ernie Frey Ford"

Frank Ancona Guy with a Jillion Hondas?

The early QuickTrip commercials with Lamar the dog? Ain't that right Lamar? Not necessarily local.

It'd have to be mid-70s, as the 'rents tossed the TV when I hit grade school.

Col. Billy also used to do the ads for The Gold Buffet. I never ate there, but I remember the ads.

What about the Dad and Son that were selling used cars? They are/were black and the kid would ask his dad about having all these cheap cars and such. I just remember the way the kid would say "DAAAAAAAAD". Come to find out he went to Pembroke Hill and my friend used to kick his ass in wrestling. Oh yeah, they were fat as hell too.

There also used to be some commercials where they would sell cars and take still shots of the hood closed and the hood opened. Then the voiceovers would come in and they would make it look like the cars were talking with the hoods going open and shut. Lame.

Standard Commercial

I had forgotten all about that.

What was the commercial that had Slim Whitman flying over Arrowhead in a recliner? It was so lame I don't remember what they were selling.

**BigMeatballDave** · 11-14-2007, 02:57 PM

Was that the one with the little kid saying "Pasghetti" instead of spaghetti?
