OH, SHOOT! NOWORNEVER, WHERE ARE YOU FROM??!

Here in Columbus, we have a major dealership called Ricart Ford, and their slogan is "Ricart Ford. We're DEALIN'"

This commercial has been going on since the mid '80s. The main huckster is Fred Ricart, and back in the day he would play his guitar making music videos and singing songs fracturing pop tunes to suit his dealership. Ex: The Beach Boys "Fun, Fun, Fun". He would sing "We're having fun, fun, fun in a Ricart Ford new T-Bird today."

At the end of the commercial he would strum a few bars on his guitar and shout, "WE'RE DEALIN!"

However in the past few years, the "videos" stopped and it would be a simple calm 10-second spot--something like "New Ford Taurus, $199 a month at Ricart Ford. We're
dealin'".
I guess that bulldrop got old (at last!)
