Dinah Shore for Chevy:
If you want to see the ultimate Dinah Shore Chevy Show commercial, go to the link and scroll down until you see "1959 Chevrolet". It's a RealPlayer file, but Windows Media Player should also be able to play it if you don't have RealPlayer.
It's a whole musical production number, with Dinah piloting a brand-new '59 Impala convertible loaded to the gills with hunks. She drives in time to the music and sings her lungs out. At one point, a helicopter flies in to become part of the number! It's a kind of showmanship that is sadly all too lacking in today's commercials.

That Fabulous Redhead
Does anyone remember Agnes Moorehead/Endora changing herself into a Standard Poodle so she could enjoy Ken L Ration dog food? Lord that must have killed her!

Does anyone remember the margarine lady of the late fifties? She was blonde and wore cat-eye glasses. I think she pushed Fleischmans or Nucoa or Blue Bonnet.

Chiffon is the margarine that fooled Mother Nature.
However, you can add Blue Bonnet margarine to the list of products advertised by Buffalo Bob on Howdy Doody.

In Color
As Expensive as color was in those days,Howdy Dowdy was in color from 1953 to 1960,or around about that time.and so was Sheri Lewis and Lambchop.I read in a 1955 life magazine it cost 7,000 dollars more to shoot in color for a 60 minute show than black and white,of course this was a Betty Grable special with all of the costuming.

What about the guy who used to bang the Saladmaster pans together (with quite the flair) to show how indestructable they were? I remember he was older, skinny, and had a grey moustache.
