Views: 2999

Here is a commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken which features a glimpse of the elusive "Colonel" Harland Sanders - who apparently was still kicking around in his white suit at the time. (Not much longer though; he died in Dec. 1980)

This aired on local Chicago TV on Monday, February 25th, 1980. (Again, I think it has a 1979 copyright on it)

WLS Channel 7 - Who's On Call? (Opening, Break & Excerpt, 1979)
