VIDEO: Ralph Williams Chrysler Plymouth Commercial – 1960s

Ralph Williams Chrysler

Who remembers Ralph Williams in the San Francisco area? Big time car dealer! This is one of the greatest commercials ever seen and it only aired once. During the late 60s, most television programs and commercials were live. There were no “pre-recorded” programs. There were some   obvious problems with this method. No “retakes” and “bloopers” were a   regular occurrence.  The salesman quit right after this commercial.   This is no blooper! This salesman was just very upset with his boss and told it like he thought it was. What a great job of ad-libbing. He   never misses a beat while, if you listen carefully, you’ll hear the cameraman   and soundman lose it.   The commercial got on the air, but only once!
