    The pitch man in this commercial is a guy named Chick Lambert. Infamous in Los Angeles dealer commercials. Matter of fact, at dealerships he managed there supposedly were sales contracts with the ter m SSFC as a $25 add on as part of the purchase price. SSFC stood for silk shirts for Chick.

    I sent this commercial to my father and he replied: "Your grandfather bought a brand new Mustang from Ralph Williams Ford in Encino when it was introduced. He upgraded the cheap tires that Ford put on the car, ordering five of the more expensive tires, the fifth for the spare underneath the bottom deck of the trunk. Sometime later, he got a flat tire, and was going to swap it out for the spare in the trunk. But -- there was no spare tire - no wheel - under the trunk floor. Ralph Williams Ford not only charged him for the more expensive fifth tire, but they stole the entire wheel. I can’t remember how the situation ended, but sometime thereafter Ralph Williams Ford got accused of a whole lot of things, including others who found they had no spare wheel. Eventually that dealership was closed."

      Actually, it's not the last he did. Williams had been on television from for a decade, but this could be one of his first few commercials in San Bruno. He did commercials for a Ford dealership in Daly City before he opened Bayshore in Early 1968. Williams left San Francisco for Seattle after his Bayshore dealership was rebranded in January 1970, but it didn't last long. By the end of his career, Williams operated ten dealerships including five in the U.S. and five in Canada. The last of his dealerships closed in June 1971 following his many lawsuits he had in the late-1960s and early-1970s, alongside his last commercial aired that same time.

    I knew Ralph well. He and my dad were at USC together and remained best friends for their entire lives. Ralph was at one time the biggest car dealer in the world. He was the biggest Ford dealer and second biggest Chrysler/Plymouth at the same time - the clout he had. His daughter Jennifer told me a story of even Lee Iacocca showing deference to Ralph when Ralph and Lee were with Ford at the same time.

      I didn't grow up on the West Coast, but I knew about Ralph Williams, because they used bits from a couple of his commercials in the Monkees movie Head. There's a bit where The Big Victor is flipping through the TV channels, and he keeps passing Ralph's commercials, mostly featuring Ralph himself, "Hi, friends, Ralph Williams here, at the world's largest Ford dealership!"

      The Bayshore name didn't last long. In January 1970, the dealership was renamed "Millbrae Chrysler-Plymouth" and Williams left San Francisco for Seattle to start his own dealership business there. Williams previously worked for a Ford dealership in Daly City before his Bayshore dealership opened in Early 1968.

    Hi, I'm Ralph Williams owner of Ralph Williams Gulfgate Chrysler Plymouth, Exit 8 off the Gulf Freeway, here in the city of Houston. Then he would introduce his German Shepard, then show a couple of dozen cars for $ 150 bucks.

    Interesting to see how the F word had already evolved well past just a verb meaning 'to copulate,' and how liberally it was sprinkled through some peoples' speech by 1968.

    funny, i lived in Buena Park during the 60s and i recognize this face , he did commercials for lots of company's, and i remember ralph williams name too. in the LA area and orange county there were several live tv shows from car lots during that period, simpler life back then , on huge car dealer was a Dodge dealer and he had a weekend live show called Cals Corral, cal worthington dodge, plenty of talent was on those shows before they became legends of country music.

      There is an engine size emblem on the lower part of the front fender if you look closely at about 35 seconds into the video so it was probably a 352 or a 390. Probably more like 12 mpg LOL.
