I think that Used Cars was someone’s idea of making a movie from this blooper clip from another 1960s California car salesman:

NSFW

Ralph Williams Bloopers/gag reel (he has a cameo appearance in the Monkees’ movie Head along with Ronald Reagan (as Governor) and Bela Lugosi, all seen on tv).

Here is a picture of Ralph from the video clip:

LOL ... now THAT's funny. Reminds me of the movie scene...

Jeff: Yessir, that's New Deal Used Cars... Now wait just a goddamn minute. What the hell is this?
Is this a 1974 Mercedes 450SL for *twenty-four thousand dollars*? That's too fu*king high.

Oh man.....Ralph Williams Ford. Boy, does that bring back memories. I used to hate that guy .. LOL

Most obnoxious car salesman ever.

Actually, Cal Worthington’s advertisements were a parody of Ralph Williams. Instead of Ralph’s dog Storm, it was Cal’s “dog” Spot.
