What a pair

[John and Tracy Smith]

Tracy was doing some research on her new Lark and found these two videos. We suspect they probably have been run here before, but we thought they were worth visiting again. What made us laugh was the contrast between the two different spokespeople/animals being used to advertise the car. Were these the two biggest stars of the time, or was this all they could afford? Maybe they were trying to reach a wide audience range? In any case, we loved the ads, especially Zsa Zsa's comment about the cost of a replacement fender for the car being only $12.00 when she runs into the garage door! What a deal!

{quote} When you was a little bitty baby Mr Ed the talking horse was a popular TV show. And was sponsered by tada Studebaker. Zsa zsa and her sister Eva was everybodies bad girl, give me furs and diamonds and i'll love you, dumb blond bimbos. Mr Ed of course was a rip off clone of Francis the talking horse. Zsa Zsa and Eva were the product of an ambitious mother with dubious claims to hungarian royalty.

You should get the DVDs it's a hoot watching em. Mr. Ed and Green Acres were about 2 points below Beverly Hillbillys in entertainment value. But hey people today watch adam sandler.

Darn i thought there was something funny about that horses ears.

Your right of course, my bad. But still a ripoff. And not near as entertaining as Francis.
