I remember his commercial for VW engine exchange in Fresno on Mckinley where it shows him "rip it right out of there" from the back of a vw bug

Wow....it was great to see this commerical again. I loved Al Radka's commercials! Do you have any more? I remember an Oberti Olive commercial he did back in the 70's where he was singing opera and I also remember a children's show he used to do in the late 60's and early 70's. I don't remember the name though.

I also remember Al Radka and would love to see him do the Lesterburger commercial. He would give a discription on his hamburger and when he got the the lettuce he would say, "Lettuce, let us eat it" and gooble it down. He was great, coming from a native Fresnin.

I remember that commerical, I was a little kid in Fresno at the time. I would love to see the one with Al and subway VW.
