Description: Here's a spot for American Automobile Insurance Brokers, with clips of old silent films of cars driving recklessly accompanied by "old-timey" music, and contrasting such scenes with the reality of millions of auto accidents a year. This ad advises that those without insurance shouldn't drive, and those seeking insurance should call CE6-5366. (CEntral-6 5366) (or in modern parlance, 236-5366)
Voiceover by ?? (sounds a bit like WBBM's Bob Carrington)
" . . . with over 17 million auto accidents a year, it isn't funny anymore."
This aired on local Chicago TV on Wednesday, May 2nd 1979.

Some of the "Old Time Movie" footage is from the 1926 Billy Bevan comedy HOBOKEN TO HOLLYWOOD...the clip also features Three Stooges nemesis Vernon Dent.
