I grew up across the street from Bert Weinman Ford. It was Midstate Motors before that. Dad bought all our cars there. My parents sold the house to Weinman when they retired in 1983. House is gone of course. So is Weinman.

Lynn Burton for certain! I remember his adverts. He had the perfect voice and delivery for this business.

These Commercials Brings Back So Many Wonderful Memories For Me. They Don't Make Great Commercials That Were Always Fun To Watch Like These Always Were Anymore. That's For Sure.

That LTD Wagon looks like the Family Truckster from the "Vacation" movie.

Working afternoons in the 70's required watching old movies after midnight. They were brought to me by Linn Burton and Bert Weinman. I remember "March Madness" before the NCAA tournament.

If the cabin of that 77 LTD II was in the Bert Weinman lot, the front bumper of it was protruding into DuPage county.

I'll take 3 of the Fords. BTW The dealership is no longer there at Ashland & Addison. It's now a senior living center

[@felicity4711]

I miss that style of car.

[@nickarcher03]

The Chevy isn't too bad, but sweet Lord those Fords are UGLY!
