Re: "Hoss" Cartwright
Hoss was the owner of a Z16 chevelle and I have been told it came from Nickey.For payment of the car he appeared at the dealership in person from time to time and authorized his picture in adds for Nickey.Bonanza was a very popular movie and millions watched and Chevrolet advertised heavily on the show.Chevrolet and Nickey Chevrolet probably sold thousands and thousands of cars due to Dan Blocker (Hoss),And Lorne Green (their father).Lorne Green also made many comercials for Chevrolet.Now I can't prove any of this and have no documentation,but this is what I have been told by more than one person,that actually knew Hoss.I actually met him when I was 15 on a trail ride and Parade in Houston Texas at the Rodeo along with Little Joe,and Adam and Lorne Greene They were all there and came and ate barbque, and danced and had a great time at our camp the night before the parade.This I do remember well.As for as the poster on the wall of Hoss Im sure it was just another form of advertisement for Nickey chevrolet.
