Description: Here's one of (if not the most) famous commercials ever - the Victory Auto Wreckers ad where the car door almost falls on the guy's foot. Contrary to popular belief, this ad originated in May of 1985 - despite the 70s-looking wristband/watch the guy is wearing.

Featuring Bob Zajdel as the hapless car owner and Luis ? as the tow-truck driver, who were both employees at the time.

Also - WGN-TV veteran Bob Kastigar says, "Jeff Glauberg did the original tape editing for that commercial - on a 2' videotape."

Al Hall did the camera work.

Voiceover by ??

"710 East Green in Bensenville, near O'Hare...860-2000."

This aired on local Chicago TV early Friday, April 17th 1992.
