Subject: Fwd: 1960's Bay area Car Salesman
Anyone remember Ralph
Williams???
Ralph
Williams was a Big Time car salesman in the SF area! This is one
of the greatest commercial ever seen and it only aired once.
This commercial was done
live in the late evening!
During the late 60's, 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.
He
quit right after this commercial. This is no blooper! This guy 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.
This live commercial
got on the air, but only once!
