Sep. 9th, 2013 10:58 pmJust saw that Cal Worthington, used car salesman extraordinaire, died recently at the age of 92. Growing up in southern California in the 1970s and 1980s, I must have seen dozens of his wacky and exuberant and often abrasive ads (and that link takes you to an archive of his tv spots if you want to give them a try). The ones I remember most clearly involved a banjo-picking chorus singing praises of Cal to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it." Not what I would have chosen to remember from my childhood, but there they are, as if I just heard them yesterday.
Any ads or jingles you remember from your childhood?
