1977 Shell Answer Man Commercial Protecting Auto Theft featuring John Davis Chandler

[@chuckcutshall2177]

The Shell Answer Man was always a favorite series of commercial ads in our house. Who didn't want to break through a giant banner?

I have something similar in my truck. It’s called a .44 S&W 😊

There’s absolutely no way car thieves would ever see this commercial, or even think to buy that book. 😂

Looks like a 77 caprice classic

The dude stealing the car is John chandler who was in a Columbo episode and a villain in adventures in baby sitting . Also I believe that’s the street at universal studios where they shot the monsters and the burbs . Among many others of course .

My old shop foreman at Ford years ago would always kid someone if they thought they knew too much about automobiles. He would say Who the F@&k are you? The Shell answer man! 😂 I another note, I used to collect these booklets. I used to get them in the Readers Digest along time ago. 😊

My mom would say that to me when I was a kid and asked too many questions. "What do I look like, the Shell Answer Man"? I never knew what the heck she was talking about until I was older, these commercials mostly ran before my time or when I was too young to remember.
