And now the real "rest of the story" ... great stuff, great car ... had a friend at Chanute AFB in Il that had one. To say it was quick was an understatement!! Craig

Some more info from Tim...This may be the commercial he gave me on video-as I haven't found it yet...

Here's another story, John Dabels was Dir. Marketing at Buick in 85-88. He loved Dr. Thorogood and The Destroyers and contacted them for the attached commercial. The original version ended with Dr. Thorogood saying: "Wouldn't you rather have a Ba Ba Ba Ba Buick"? McCann Erickson, our ad agency, did not want to mess with the Buick Brand so they changed the ending to a voice-over. The ad only ran a short time in local markets.

Dang it -- for some reason I seem to remember that commercial ... may have been on WLS in Chicago ... Craig

WLS always had cool commercials. Even had one in 1966 for Mr. Norm's Grand Spaulding Dodge done by The Buckinghams.
