I don't remember any of these commercials, and it's probably for the best... kinda sad.

Here we see the great Boris Karloff pitching A1 Steak sauce...


...      


That's right, the tag line was... wait for it... "Experiment!"  Roll Eyes


...      


And here's vaudeville, pop music and film legend Jimmy Durante selling Kleenex... big nose- tissues... get it? Get it?

Roll Eyes



...      





Ford put another giant to better use selling their latest van in the mid-60s...


...      


None other than the immortal Buster Keaton, the daVinci of slapstick...!!
This is actually a very funny commercial; maybe they let him direct it. Grin
But it still makes me sad...he was a genius.


...      


I know, Mr. Keaton, I can't look either... but hey, it's a living, I guess.


...      



Here's an interesting commercial that compares the 1973 Chevy Nova to an NFL star... wonder who it could be?

Shocked  Shocked   Cheesy

Next- part 11(last): more celeb pitchmen
