Hahaha, that Joe Jacoby commercial should’ve been on the list but was not. Sadly, I can’t find it on youtube or anywhere else. It’s a classic though!

I didn’t have a chance to read the entire list but did TheaterVision starring Joe Jacoby make the cut?

Haha! As someone who grew up in the Chicago area to the “588-23hundred Empire” commercials, I was actually tickled to see the commercials here and realize they’d gone nationwide. The eight-hundred bit of the jingle throws me off now, though. One has to wonder if that guy is still really alive, though.

The AA/BB rhyme schem of the Eastern Motors song is pretty great.

Ford, Hyundai, Chevy, Beemers and Mini-VANS.
Over 600 cars, trucks, SUV’s, are you listening, MAN?
Let Eastern Motors put you in a car to-DAY.
Let Eastern Motors finance it all the WAY.
