Chick Lambert 1960s car commercial for Ralph Williams Chrysler Plymouth

The actor's name is Chick Lambert, who used to host some late night TV in Los Angeles back in the 70's (sometimes from Catalina Island with his dog storm).

This is either a slap or a parody of Ralph Williams' commercials, which invariably began with "I'm Chick Lambert, Sales Manager here at Ralph Williams Ford, and this is my dog, Storm." Storm was a German Shepherd, who was usually lounging on the hood of the first car to be featured in the ad. These commercials were seen on every channel in Los Angeles television through the 1960s and early 1970s.

Ralph Williams was brought up on charges by L.A. County for some alleged shady dealing

Chick was no actor--he was one of L.A.'s legendary, arm-twisting, TV automobile pitchmen. Ralph Williams must have owed him some money for him to extemporize at Ralph's expense.

So where was Chick's dog Storm during this taping? He was the only TV car pitchman to use his German Shepherd as a shill. Even Cal Worthington riffed on Chick when he showed up with a live tiger in his ads, calling him "my dog Spot."

Only in L.A., folks, only in L.A.

Saw this in a compilation of obscene bloopers, and I'm glad I found it online to share with other people. Absolutely brilliant and funny as hell.
