- Ok, these aren't exactly the best of Cal Worthington's ads, but any Cal is worth sharing.
NOTE: These came from an all-night movie marathon, of which, I have two of the movies (incomplete)...exclusively sponsored by Worthington Ford. The same two ads alternate over and over--as such, I've only included one instance of each.
These aired over LA's KTTV in either late 1979 or early 1980.
ALL COPYRIGHTS ACKNOWLEDGED
Even his longer ads represent the best of a legendary salesman.
Put up a laughing gif and some flowers, if you grew up watching Cal's commercials, and you can still hear the jingle say "Pussy Cow" instead of "Go See Cal".
Don't lie, you heard it too ....

I'm sure he became so popular with his commercials, that many people went to Worthington Ford just to meet him. It was an honest way to get people into the dealership. I would have gone to see Cal.
KTTV Channel 11. The LA area had it's assortment of independent stations even before UHF came in by the late 1960s. There was always something to watch on TV. Me I liked the old movies and the old TV shows. Back when LA was a good place to visit.
All his very best commercials were probably from between about 1971 and 1974; before anybody owned a VCR. I watched from Orange County CA.
Wow! Just wow! All those Pintos before they were recalled, and Rancheros! Oh those were the days when AC and FM radio were such luxuries (never had either until I got my own car) but the power windows were such a pain! Ah....the memories and such simple times....
Yup we've come a long way from then. I mean think about when CD players were optional back in the early 90s for cars, now it's standard.
New Cars don't have cd players in them it's all bluetooth wifi and usb
The Pinto thing had reached it notoriety by then after three young girls were killed in Indiana the year before in a Pinto fire. I was surprised they hung in there until the 1981 model year.
All car dealers should be like cal God I miss him
I would kill for those Datsuns.
Is that 1979 Datsun pickup with a camper on it still available? I'll take it!
I bet some of those Corolla's are still on the road today.
Only thing that can kill them is road salt.
Yes in the south where roads aren't salted. There's a few here in Arkansas.
Born in 1980. Saw his commercials when I was little.
I always thought Cal was saying p**** cal, p**** cal, p**** cal 😂😂😂
@@lexbeltran1354 lmao so did I for many years.
Apparently, I wasn't the only kid in the 70s who thought he was saying "Pussy cow, pussy cow, pussy cow!" Haaaa!
If your parents heard you, then you'd be punished.
I did in the 80's
Im 40 and I just now realized it says go see cal. We have dirty minds :p
Exactly I used to say that with my brothers
Reminds me of when I had a summer job in the early 90's delivering pizza and my car broke down and had to borrow my grandfathers 79 T-Bird. You don't make any profit with a 351 V-8, but you do make friends at the local gas station.
If I could buy that 1976 Corolla today in that condition for 2300 bucks or that 1976 Toyota pick up today in that condition for 2500 bucks.
I semi-remember you saying in that episode about local commercials (a really good episode, BTW), that he dosent say "Pussy Cow". If he does not say that,,,,, then what does he say? (english is not my first language)
He's (supposedly) saying "Go see Cal"
I grew up in Long Beach and always heard it as "Pussy Cow" too. It's that weird?😂
I guess I have to start a punk band called Pussy Cow, now...
If only the buying public knew what was in store for them in 1980 with the downsized T Birds.
Kimono Kal, he's your pal so come on down to Kimono Kals.
ArchiveAnnex What movies did these commercials air during? I'd like to try to research the exact airdate. Thanks!
"The Women" (w/Norma Shearer) and the other one is a fairly early Katherine Hepburn movie (mid -30's) that I don't remember the name of offhand.
@@ArchiveAnnex KTTV aired "Holiday" (1938) followed by "The Women" (1939) back to back beginning at 1:00am Late Thurs. 11/15/79
Hmm-A Dodge Dart priced less than a Ford Pinto-guess which one has retained its value as a collectible today?
Oh car Prices then Even with Inflation today.
ArchiveAnnex Any More Pre-Recorded Material In 1979 Off On Showtime? (with the sign-off this time) Let Me Know!
All my '79 Showtime stuff is already on this channel.
@@ArchiveAnnex I Watched One Of Your Showtime Broadcast On August 2, 1979. And It Looks Like Right After The Movie, It Says Coming Tomorrow With Promos, But Unfortunately, The Sign Off On Showtime That You Are Talking About, Following By The Black Screen With Very Weird And Scary DTMF Tones And Then Either The EIA Or Just SMPTE Color Bars Right Before The Message That Cuts Off Color Bars To Dark Blue Screen That Says Programming Will Begin Later Today, Consult Your Guide For The Schedule Is Not Shown On Your Last Upload, Because It's Partial And Incomplete. But I Hope You'll Get More 1979 Showtime Stuff In The Near Future (this time with the sign-off to make it absolute rare gem). Looking Forward To Another Video!
Holy shit how fucking long were commercials
who is here because of the making of Monkey Island?
It's odd for me to watch these ad's because I remember them when I was a teenager and driving in cars like these. Looking at the prices $3995 and thinking wow that is so much money how can anyone afford a new car. We got cars 1960's cars that today would be considered classics. I remember a guy in high school he worked all year long and bought a 68 Camaro black with the white strips. We put a better cam in it and headers back then these cars were considered old junk. They were classics but not nice ones so not really anything special.
