How 'Bout Takin' A Spin In A 1960 Dodge Dart?

In this clip from the October 10, 1959 ABC Network telecast of The Lawrence Welk Show, here is announcer and Dodge commercial spokesman Lou Crosby extolling the virtues of the 1960 Dodge Dart.  





This episode marked the television debut of not only the Dodge Dart, but the 1960 Dodge cars as well.  During the year's that Lawrence's ABC shows were sponsored by Dodge, Mr. Crosby was the commercial spokesman for Dodge.  This episode originated from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel on the Beach at Wakiki in Honolulu.  Yes, folks, Lou, who was a one-time announcer on Gene Autry's old radio show for Wrigley's Gum,  was Cathy Lee's dad.
