Zimmerman Lincoln-Mercury - "Cub Reporter" (Commercial, 1978)

Views: 1682

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.

WTVO Channel 17 - "Snow Scene" (Station ID Slide, 1976)

Views: 4126

Here's a rare Station ID and slide from WTVO Channel 17.

Voiceover by Bob Kevern.

"Bob was the weather man and did most of the booth announcing. Bob also introduced the weather window, with shots of citizens waving at the camera. Bruce Richardson anchored the news and was a wonderful person. Bob Lewis did the sports and had a loose casual style. If Ernie Banks dropped in - he was on the air. Those were good times." - Ted Schwandt

"After you forget all about the Bicentennial, this is what you'll remember 1976 for..."

Views: 2425

Here's a commercial for the record and book set - "Night Moves" ("The Professional Approach to Disco Dance Instruction") from K-tel Records which features Deney Terrio (host of Dance Fever and also notably as the person who "taught John Travolta how to dance" for the film Saturday Night Fever)

The nerdy guy kind of reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite.

Ending voiceover by ??
