Yeah, thanks. Jeez. Anyway, that's what copyeditors and fact checkers
are for, and I need both of 'em in spades, as anyone accustomed to
reading my emails can attest.

Holy crap, I hope you made a typo for this posting and not the
arcticle. It was STAR TREK, not star WARS.
Now, if somebody could just come up with a download of those old
commercials. In fact, I think it would be great if there was a site
that you could download just about any old commercial you wanted.
Hmmmmmm, I see dollar signs.

So tell us more about this article.
Sorry, even I had remembered it wrong. Here's the text of the
little story blurb, in its entirety:
Whatever happened to Ricardo Montalban?
Chrysler chose Montalban as the spokesman for its new,
personal-sized luxury car, the Cordoba, in 1975. His richly
accented delivery of the line "finest Corinthian leather," became
so famous it was often parodied. The May 14, 1977 Saturday Night
Live, for instance, featured a skit entitled "I am Ricardo
Montalban," in which Montalban, portrayed by Dan Akroyd, is finally
distinguished from two imposters after he produces a set of Cordoba
car keys. Later, Akroyd-as-Mantalban attempts to seduce Gilda
Radner's character with the line "your eyes are like tinted opera
windows, your hair and skin like the fiiiinest Corrrrinthian
Latherrrr" to a roar of laughter and applause.
Montalban went on to play the leading role of Mr. Roarke in the
popular television series Fantasy Island (1978-1984), and the lead
in the second Star Wars feature The Wrath of Kahn. He also appeared
in two of the Planet of the Apes movies and starred in the last two
Spy Kids films. The 84-year-old actor still appears at occasional
Star Trek conventions, where he always draws a big crowd.

And it was "RICH Corinthian leather." I just did an article on
him for a DiamlerChrysler publication. I get odd looks when I
show up to a DC new car unveiling in a 23-year-old old Benz, but
so far no one has said anything. Perhaps their German bosses are
listening...
That was Ricardo Montalban, another one of my favorite actors.

THIS is MY Mercedes. CAN'T you just SEE how NICE the FACTORY leather IS!

Could be worse. At least mercedes didn't offer real corinthian leather.
