From Reddit: This "gag" take never aired of course. The pitchman was well known in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1960s-70s. While taping commercials for the dealership in 1968, the pitchman made this gag take to poke fun at his boss.

Indeed, the "freeze frame" at the end was probably actually the last frame of the film, which lets us know they were probably rolling out the extra film (audio on a separate system). When filming-- and it looks as though the amount on the roll not gonna provide enough time to safely do another take-- instead do a joke take (or a random high frame rate take, for slow mo) till it fully rolls out, then get somewhere pitch black to cap it & load new film. We used to do it all the time with similar 16 mm commercials and shorts. Sorry I waited 9 years to reply lol

_Take a [expletive] car like this - a 1966 Ford Country Squire 9-passenger station wagon. Don't worry about the equipment - think of all the fun you can have in the back._ Financing a $1866 wagon at $100/month for five years! That's an APR of 61.03%! (Remember, this was in the late sixties, when someone who made $5,000/year was doing fairly well.) And, no - the commercial never appeared on any TV broadcast. The pitchman on the video was Chick Lambert, with his dog Stormy. (Actually, Stormy was a stage dog rented for the commercials.) At his peak Ralph Williams had 23 car dealerships ranging from Seattle to LA. Particularly in southern California, William's ads in the mid-sixties to the seventies were ubiquitous; so much so that Johnny Carson brought him to national celebrity. Ralph Williams didn't end well. In the seventies, Williams ran into deep legal trouble for, among other things, misrepresenting sales contracts, rolling back the odometers on his used cars, and defrauding Ford Motors. Williams lost all his dealerships; many of which were acquired in the late seventies by Cal Worthington (who himself flooded the airways with his own car ads).

I love these old commercial outtakes. The crew hit the spot quickly, got the money shot in the can. Figured out they would have some fun since they already had the time and gear available. I have a cassette tape with a bunch of these outtakes from radio commercials from the 80’s. Do broadcasters and advertising folk still have any fun?

[@KaitlynKeller-y8k]

I work at a small ad agency, and trust me, we still have fun. Those cassette tapes sound interesting - anyway you could load the audio to KZbin?

[@ithinkaboutthings9052]

@@KaitlynKeller-y8k I have been looking into dumping the cassettes to a more stable format just so I can listen without worrying about the machine chomping on the tape. Lol. They’re from the 80’s and mainly cover air checks of The Greaseman, Stern, some wild Canadian morning show. Then there are those commercial outtakes.

[@KaitlynKeller-y8k]

@@ithinkaboutthings9052 That's awesome! I'd definitely try and upload them to KZbin. I'd upload them to Internet Archive as well, that might be more secure since you don't have to worry about KZbin's janky copyright system.

Not sure what these goons are talking about, but buying used is incredibly easy as long as you take the car to an independent mechanic before you sign the paperwork. Buying a new car might be the biggest waste of money you could possibly do

[@largol33t12]

@@magnificenthonky It's never a good thing when you pull into a repair center and they never say "pop the hood." Nope, they say, pop the fuse box and step out of the vehicle, please." (Those who don't drive modern cars, the fuse box is where a rectangular outlet known as the OBD plug is. The mechanic plugs in a PDA and it scans the computer for any faults. It pops up a series of numbers. IF your mechanic is competent, he/she should know what the code on the screen means and can tell you exactly what needs to be fixed. At least in theory, that's how it's SUPPOSED to work. My luck is NEVER good. They had to hook my poor MINI to the computer and let it run for a whopping 2 hours to find out why the blinkers were going haywire every 30 minutes. They found the source of the problem and replaced the part. The problem went away. Crap like this is why I struggled to buy my cars "stripped". My current car has no GPS, no automatic air conditioning, no all digital "instrument panel." Hell, it doesn't even have an automatic transmission. And I've never had issues with it after 5 and a half years and 49,000 miles.
