Gosh; I don't remember that commercial... was that Orson Welles narrating ?

Neat idea behind the advert; too bad the Pinto developed such an unfortunate reputation...

My brother's first car was a '73 Pinto wagon, that he eventually gave to my father... who was still driving it in 1985... when he finally got rid of it, it had over 250,000 miles on it... and was still running (2.0 liter OHC four).... but it was developing transmission problems and had terminal cancer...

I wonder if Model A's were as unloved in the 1950's as the Pinto seems to be today ?
