I starting singing this at some car ad on TV this afternoon and wondered if there were any Schmerler Ford ads on YouTube... Of course there are!!!

[DamnStraightM35A2]

what car didnt come w/ power brakes in the late 80's?

[queensplazasouth]

Small imports

[DamnStraightM35A2]

really? wow that's actually surprising

[SSN760]

We had a 1991 Pontiac/Daewoo that did not have power brakes or steering - the only thing that was on the pulley was the crankshaft/water pump and the alternator, that was all.

Oh, and if you pushed the brakes too hard, the bleeder valves opened up, and there goes the brakes. It was faster to downshift the car and force the 1.6L I-4 to slow the car than to use the brakes.

[foofighter218]

[MGG75]

I apologize about his passing eleven years ago. I just loved any of his commercials, and especially his illustrious tenor-sounding voice!

[foofighter218]

yah its ok, he was a great cars sales man and alot of people remember him and thats all that matters. im surprized that people still remember him

[foofighter218]

i dont think schmerler ford is running, its a shame but his voice is amazing

[tubricant]

Foofighter218, have you ever heard of Mr. Show? It was a sketch-comedy show on HBO with David Cross and Bob Odenkirk... anyhow, there was this one scene in which they were doing a newscast and sent it live to a field reporter, who opened his report with "Rock-a-Bye Your Babyyy! Hi, I'm your singing news reporter...". It was obviously a tribute to Harry.

[foofighter218]

i hav'nt herd of that show but thats such a sweet thing

[beatlegirl9977]

"Rrrock-a-bye a-baby!" popped into my head before I even clicked on the video. :)

[djenglewood]

Now is this old school chicago or what???

[thejoint25]

Hell yeah!

[bobjl527]

$11,888 for a van like that? Oh those were the good ole days.

[gbukUSA]
