I used to shoot these spots. Ron Isrealite wrote the ads AND the jingle. He was a funny, strange guy...he's since passed on, but this jingle ishis moment of genius.
I'm amazed by all the places this jingle has saturated! I grew up with the Southtown Ford version (Dallas-Fort Worth), and it was also used by the Pete Ellis dealerships in California. Who knows how many more?
That song has been in the commercials since before I was 5, (I'm 16 now), and I just seen a different commercial for them.
I'm scared. ; - ;

Anyone know who the actress was? I always thought she was hot. I have later '95 CIII Chev commercials on tape with her.

I wonder what's going to be in place of "minutes from the mall" if Century III Mall flops in the near future.
