L A icon's TV ads heard several times


The legendary Cal Worthington owner of several car agencies in So Cal since the 1960s is famous for his off beat TV ads with his "dog Spot", many different types of animals yet never a dog. Several times throughout the film one can hear a Cal Worthington ad. "if you want to save a buck, go se Cal, go see Cal, go see Cal" "I'll eat a bug to sell you a car"

Good to see the Los Angeles Colliseum before it was refurbished to host the 1984 Olympics. Another iconic spot seen in th film was the Tail of the Pup hot dog stand in Hollywood renowned for their chili dog.
