Here's a commercial for Zimmerman Lincoln-Mercury featuring their "Cub Reporter" - seems likely inspired by Long Chevrolet's Timmy to me.

Featuring Zimmy The Zales Cat!

Zimmerman Lincoln-Mercury was located at North Avenue - Route 64 - at Dunham Road in St. Charles.

I wonder where "Cub Reporter" is now - she's got to be around 43 or 44 years old. Gotta love her Jodie Foster inspired outfit.
