Yes, Both Cal and Spot. LOL

I only worked for Cal doing evening in parts. I did more with John Stepp's Ford. Both are gone now and we have Kendell. Lithia is big here too. Both companies own most of the local in town dealerships. We have a local Mopar/Jeep dealer, Anchorage Chrysler Center (Rod Udd) and a locally owned full line \GM dealer, AK Sales and Service. Most of the others are the two outside branded companies. I spent 5 1/2 years with AK Sales in parts/warranty/service/management. It's nothing like it used to be. They sold to one of the employees and he's done okay, but I couldn't buy from them if I had to. Trying to be like the big boys and it's hurt their local sales totals.

Cal owned the Ford dealership in Anchorage for 41 years, from 76 thru 17. The boys sold off the Worthington dealerships here and got out. A lot of that money went up the boys noses.

For the longest time, everyone in Anchorage thought that the jingle he used said......"*****cow, *****cow, *****cow" instead of go see cal. LOLOLOL

 

I can't believe that this forum locks out pussiecow.

 

HA! That's exactly what I thought it said to. My family made fun of me. Good to know I was not the only one!

 

Hadn't thought of Cal for years. They were funny commercials. He had to have an entire zoo of "Spot's" coming when he called.

 

You have to think back to 1976 when he got here. Audio in cars was so so, TVs didn't have the sound systems they have now, transistor radios were okay but the sound always was lacking, so to hear those commercials they could have said almost anything.. LOL

Remember the song "Dirty Water" by the Standells. It was band in some places because of the line...."lovers, muggers and thieves" sounded like something dirtier. LOL A few other songs come to mind that could be interpreted differently and made dirty very easy. I remember the Bangels Walk like an Egyptian being changed in a local bar to another description. It was funny hearing a woman singing about an erection. lol

 

Just saw on MSN that London Kentucky has gas for under $1 a gallon. WTF?! It's still over $3 here. I could afford to drive the Truck to work at under a $1.

 

I saw 2.409 at a Holiday down the street this morning. 2.699 at another Holiday 2 miles away. WTH?

 

its a $1.41 here in Indiana

 

It's been 2.37 here for 3 weeks. Total BS!

 

Whoooaaa... Holiday? As in this same Holiday Oil owned right here in UT?
