Definitely brings back memories. Several of his classic ads are posted to youtube. I remember he’d have his dealerships open until ten pm or even midnight. That’s unheard of in Georgia which begins rolling up the sidewalks at sunset.
“Go see Cal, go see Cal, Go see Cal!”
My first job in Massachusetts was right across US Route 1 from Ernie Boch’s dealership.
He sold Nash Ramblers for under $2,000. He now covers a whole stretch of Route 1, spanning several towns.
When we moved to California in 1974, Cal Worthington made Ernie Boch seem parochial.
If I’d known of Cal’s war record, I would’ve bought a car from him. Went to Jim Click Ford instead.
