This is pretty funny! Read on and then watch the video. I did a search and found nothing but forgive me if you have seen it before.

See, now that you are retired you won't be missing this stuff the first time around!? But, it gets funnier the more you watch it.
Actually I spend waaaay too much time on here already - I have a garage full waiting for some attention!
It was posted & pulled a bunch of times on the AACA forum yesterday. It was giving the moderator fits, describing it as profane language on a family site.
Orv and I were talking at lunch yesterday...........he was wondering if you were leaving any of those goodies in Sodak for US when you leave!?
Dealer I worked for would tell his friends basically the same thing. They would come in to buy a car and he would state "Look, someone is going to take your money, it might as be a friend".
Not too much, but I won't know for sure until I get the next house/garage built down there. I just put the Tub for sale on here today and I'll take it and some more stuff to Lincoln for the swap meet this Sunday.
Years and years ago there was a car lot owned by Chick Norton (I think) in Tulsa that ran a TV ad where the spokesman would take a baseball bat and break the windshield of a car and say "Chick don't care". The legend is that some of the local delinquents busied themselves one evening by breaking the windshields of most of the inventory and writing "Chick don't care" on them in white shoe polish. Don't know if it was true or not but I'll bet every one of the old dudes in the Tulsa area have heard the story before.
I kinda miss "Lamb Chevrolet" in SoCal. They used to smash out the windshields with a sledgehammer to get rid of the price on it in their TV adds.
Ralph Williams was the spokesman for Leon Ames. When Leon Ames retired/quit, the name changed to Ralph Williams. I believe that sokesmans name was Chick (something or other) and his dog "Storm". My Dad bought a used '62 Ford Ranch Wagon from Ralph Williams. It kept breaking down so he went to Felix Chevrolet and got a new '65 Impala wagon.
reality is the 60's TV censors would never let an ad like that on, it wasn't until Archie Bunker came along that the sound of a flushing toilet or the word meathead was allowed. but never less the video is funny.
If you click on the other thread I think it talks about it being outtakes for the fun of it with the crew.
