At his peak Ralph Williams had 23 car dealerships ranging from Seattle to LA.

Ralph Williams didn't end well. In the seventies, Williams ran into deep legal trouble for, among other things, misrepresenting sales contracts, rolling back the odometers on his used cars, and defrauding Ford Motors. Williams lost all his dealerships; many of which were acquired in the late seventies by Cal Worthington (who himself flooded the airways with his own car ads).

BAHAHAHA, Awesome Right There....
How easy is it to get a TV license, what did they learn and how did they learn it, and how do you know. Until YT starts fact-checking, you can - I guess happily - get away with this. At least someone wasn’t lying about DT. I know the guy who did the voice replacement, but please don’t ask me for his name. Shotgun Tom from San Diego was his friend.
That interest really kills you, car cost $1,866. You can finance it for 5 years at $100 per month works out to $6,000 for the car
For sure. I looked it up in my Ford book and the wagon listed brand new for $3289 ($77 more for a 9 passenger)
ya cant get even
61% interest!
That included free tire rotations tho.
'66 Ford country squire wagon was a damn nice car. I had a '64
That dealership is now a Honda dealer.
I'm sure the scene in smokey and the bandit 3 where the disgruntled used car woman goes off on her sleazy boss during a live commercial and then storms off the lot was influenced by this ad.
So YOU’RE the other person who saw “Smokey and the Bandit 3”
@@JamesQMurphy lol many times. I had a VHS copy recorded off WGN in the 90s that even had the gas station deleted scene and the longer burt cameo.
never gets old.
I trust this guy more than any politician right now
These days these guys go into mega churches.
That is hilarious. I thought it was fake at first. 🤣
There's a preacher that talks like that. His name's Peter Ruckman. He's a real joy to listen to.
My favorite late night commercial when we were kids
That's fucking hilarious.
This man would be elected President today.
Sorta looks like pre-dementia Biden!
Only running as a republican.
@@user-yk1vz7of1t You're damn right.
@@samporter4818. And sounds like pre-dementia trump 😊
Dog is like “I heard this speech 6 times on the way here this morning.”
Nobody speaks like this in CA anymore and it's sad
What a very weird thing to be sentimental about. "Yes, once upon a time everyone spoke in midwestern accept in northern California. How I miss the swearing the rude gestures."
@@davidfulton179ugh🙄😒
@@davidfulton179 @JueputaGuebon is just one of those ignoramuses who shit on California.
Proof that you can do anything on American television...once.
The truth is a breath of fresh air. 😂
I used to live in San Bruno back in those days.
I have seen that ad on TV hundreds of times.
So George Carlin was wrong... You can say those words on TV.
You can do ANYTHING, once . . .
And depending on what it was, you may never do _anything_ again.
Hahaha I like how he advertises vehicles 😂😂😂
I believe The Firesign Theater did a spoof on this guy.
Ralph Spoilsports Motors - factory air conditioned air from our fully factory-equipped air conditioned factory
@@ragtowne Thank you!
@@ragtowne YES!!! Ralph Spoilsport: The undisputed master of double-talk! That a hilarious skit!
I love how, during the outtake, you can hear people laughing in the background!
Morty: Huh, seems like TV from other dimensions has a somewhat looser feel to it.
Rick: Yeah, it's an almost improvisational tone.
Yeah, glad it was kept......and he went to prison for fraud. The crap he pulled at his Ford dealership in the valley was unbelievable...........
My Dad's secretary.....back when they had those, was a recipient of his fraud with her new mustang.
LMAO> Now that's a salesman.
“Take a fuckin car like this” had me rolling 😂
I believe this commercial was the basis for the movie "Used Cars"
This guy probably had a beer with Winnebago Man.
“5 years payments of $100 a month” sounds waaaaaay less threatening today
If only commercials were more sincere like this maybe people would pay more attention to them. Not constantly having mixed couples and generic boring advertisements lol
wonder if the car is still available?
Hahahahaha!! Good one. 🤣
It was junked about 40 years ago and the guy who bought it died about 10 years ago, but his children are still paying on it.
We need to bring this back
Five years of payments on that POS? He really was shafting them.
