Take a break from the insanity of today's world....

“Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum, Mandelbaum !”
“Let me move the TV”
“You think you’re better than us ?”
Also by naming “it” none of the competition had it
It was during this time that he had a brief affair with Joe Garagiola
Been watching the first two seasons of “High Chaparral” lately and Ricardo Montalban was on a couple of the episodes. He played two widely disparate characters: a bandito and Franciscan priest. He was a much better actor than people give him credit for. With those good looks, fine speaking voice, and smooth accent, he definitely had a lot of stage presence making the other actors look like amateurs. Except for Linda Cristal, of course.
“I love to drink in the lush, wine-filled interior”
Yep, you’re correct. Even Montalban admitted it meant nothing, totally made up. The stuff they used actually came from a supplier in New Jersey (but that just doesn’t exactly scream exotic or special right?).
“He tasks me. He tasks me and I shall have him! I’ll chase him ‘round the moons of Nibia and ‘round the Antares Maelstrom and ‘round perdition’s flames before I give him up!”
No, wait. That wasn’t Chrysler, that was Star Trek Wrath of Kahn.
I owned a 74...I believe it was a 74. It had square headlights. I bought it in 1982. Classy looking, beautiful. Black, silver interior, sun roof and the biggest freakin' lemon I ever owned. I was young and ignorant and got fully taken advantage of in that...they saw me coming from a mile away. And all I could see was me in that car...
Who did the Volare commercials?
In actual Spanish, Cordoba is stressed on the first not the second syllable.
Oh really? I guess many of us were fooled into thinking we were saying it ‘just like the native speakers do’. lol.
The advertisement describes the Cordoba as the “small” Chrysler. You could land a Lear Jet on the hood and pack a tiny house in the trunk. Those were bad years due to poor workmanship and immature emissions controls and CAFE standards, but I love the footprint on those cars.
Like Grey Poupon.
Oh, do you have any, by the way?
Yeah, “Newark warehouse leather” doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Yes, it os correctly pronounced corRRdoBAH, not CORdoba
Enjoyed watching the Chry TV ad. I am driving a 1987 Chrysler 5th Ave that I bought ten years ago for $2k that now has 107k miles on it. Still has the Cornithian leather with the driver seat getting worn with the 318 cu in motor still going. Forced change to ethenol gas screwed up carb and anything rubber when it was forced on the public.
Recently found an older guy mechanic who is keeping it running for me to Walmart & the med clinic (I am 88, an old fart, like the car). Biggest problem now is finding parts for the car. Last time at the shop, the mechanic told me that people are now buying these older cars and fixing them up so parts are hard to find, even at the salvage yards.
It gets me where I need to go and get comments every now and then about the car and once in a while someone wants to know if it is for sale and offer a ridiculous low price that I graciously decline. I really enjoy driving the ole lady.
Hope to still be around in 2024 and hope DJT will be there as well! He is the only hope for preserving the USA as a Constitutional Republic. Remember what Ben Franklin said when asked.. “A Republic, if you can keep it!” The Quartet from the Frankfort School of 1935 to 1950 have to be dancing in their graves.
Ah... the memories... I had left the department headquarters and was on my way home. But, I noticed that a vehicle seemed to be following me. After a short period of time I was almost definite. So, I pulled into a neighborhood where I’d never been before... right turn, right turn, right turn, right turn. YEAH! They’re on your ass. I sped up and pulled into a small strip mall where it was dead-ended, pulled the vehicle sideways, loaded up and got behind the engine block. They came around the corner of that strip mall and there I was ready. The guy in the passenger seat started making violent motions to the driver to back up. They got the hell out of there. To this day, I have only a few ideas of who they might have been. My bet? There had been a unit that worked directly for the chief that had been supposedly been disbanded. It was call “staff inspection” Any other suspicions really don’t make much sense.
The SNL fake ad was for the Royale Deluxe II, if I remember right.
Or as Trump would say, 2 Corinthians.
