It wasn't plastic. The Cordoba was available with leather facing on
the seats. "Corinthian" was just Chrysler branding. (Virtually no cars
have all-leather seats, in part for reasons of durability.) Young &
Rubicam made the Cordoba commercials. My former partner, Joe Puhy,
shot them. He said Ricardo Montalban was very pleasant and easy to
work with.

I've read a few other obits and bios. None of them mention my most
enduring memory of the man, shilling Chrysler Cordobas with seats of
"Corinthian Leather".
I was crushed when, years later, I discovered that there's no such
thing as Corinthian Leather, that it was a plastic fake. My world has
never been the same since...
cheers,
