Default Live Car Commercial from the 60's ,this is a riot!

<span style="font-weight: bold">Rough language</span>…

1960s Car Salesman....READ BEFORE WATCHING...

Who remembers Ralph Williams in SF area? Big time car salesman!
This is one of the greatest commercials ever seen and it only aired once.

During the late 60s, most television programs and commercials were live. There were no &quot;pre-recorded&quot; programs. There were some obvious problems with this method. No &quot;retakes&quot; and &quot;bloopers&quot; were a regular occurrence.

He quit right after this commercial.

This is no blooper! This guy was just very upset with his boss and told it like he thought it was. What a great job of ad-libbing. He never misses a beat while, if you listen carefully, you'll hear the cameraman and soundman lose it.

The commercial got on the air, but only once!
