There's the plane boss....there's the plane...

 

[old tired rebel]

He was the man for the Cordoba starting in 76. Which I had a 76 with a 318/904 and T Tops. Should have kept that car.

 

[Alleyoop2]

Thats "Rich Corinthian Leather"

 

[Joeychgo]

Da plane! Da Plane!

I like how in the commercial he states how they've done a good job with "his" car. Now that's a man who understood that his image was going to forever be linked to that badge.

He was the perfect choice to promote the car. That "rich Corinthian leather" is immortal. Almost everyone who saw those ads remembers them.

Couldn't agree more, D- these commercials helped keep Ricardo in people's minds long after Fantasy Island went away at Herve V. took a .357 to himself

And don't forget, he was also Kahn in a Star Trek episode and in "Star Trek II, The Wrath of Kahn."

 

[Shorty Thompson]

He was in MANY movies - going as far back as the 40's

Yes, he was quite the Latin leading man for a long time. I've seen some of those movies. He was quite "debanair"!

Him and one of his best short friends...
