    For YEARS I always thought it was "Pussy Cow". Had no clue it was "Go see Cal" until recently.

      Me and my sisters always thought it was Pussy Cow too. Especially this commercial where he has a Cow on the lot, lol. I just found out my wife thought that too, when she was a kid.

    American hero Cal was a pilot of a B-17 flew 29 missions over Germany. He won the Distinguished Flying Cross medal presented to him by General Doolittle. He also trained some of the pilots who went on to be America's first astronauts.

    • @petuniasevan
      @petuniasevan Місяць тому

      This is true. My mother didn't like him but grandma told me 50 years ago that he was a WW2 pilot.
      I was of course just a kid at that time and didn't really care (very embarrassing to later adult me).
      I would repeat his jingles for effect and my brother (who is on the spectrum) would repeat his jingles as echolalia which really really got on Mom's nerves! 😆

  • @petuniasevan
    @petuniasevan Місяць тому +2

    Oh this guy. I still remember Cal Worthington and his "Dog Spot". I grew up in Southern California in the '70s. He expanded his dealerships all over the place in the '80s so a bigger audience got to see his "Dog Spot" (any animal BUT a dog, often something exotic like a tiger, parrot, or hippo. He was rather nutty this way
    If you want a set of wheels go see Cal, if you want a better deal, go see Cal
    If you want to save some money
    And really please your honey
    If you want to save some money go see Cal!
    Yeah, long before the internet, kiddies, when we memorized commercial jingles and pissed off our parents by repeating them ad infinitum. Those were the days!

    60s and 70s cars ROCKED. Trust me I had a Mustang. But my favorite was a 63 4 door Impala Super Sport I bought off a friend of mine's mother. His mom loved to tell us how he talked a dealer in Huntington beach to order a 4 door impala in Super Sport configuration. The Chevy dealer and Wilson Ford in Huntington Beach started having drag races at Orange County International Raceway with the dealer built cars.

    Grew up in Santa Ana Orange County. I miss seeing Cal Worthington commercials. A friends father got a good deal on a chevy. I think it was a Monte Carlo. But he got a big discount on it because it had the hood Crush down to the air filter. And smelled like a tiger. Yeah he got that one. He even talked to dealership into putting Uniroyal tiger paw tires on it.

    Cal shows up on late night TV in the background of 1985's "Into the Night". It certainly sounded like "Pussy Cow" in that film.

    This takes me back to my Seattle days in the 1980's. Cal Worthington had a dealership in south Seattle (Federal Way?) and ran his old SoCal commercials non-stop. His "dog spot" was always some exotic animal, from lions, tigers & monkeys, to even dolphins.

    Crazy king of kitch: Cal Worthington. Absolutely loved this whacky guy, and remembered looking forward to seeing what crazy creature he'd have walking, or SNARLING, next to his gregarious maniac self. This guy even strapped his maniacal ass to the front of a biplane in commercial. Definitely a prequel to the 'Jackass' franchise.
