End of an era - last of Cal Worthington’s car dealerships sold and will change its name

[bcla]

He died in 2013 at 92, but his family kept a few of the dealerships but have decided to finally sell the last one.

I read the headline and the jingle immediately started playing in my head. If you grew up in Southern California, you knew Cal and his animals.

Here’s another good one..

My best friend's day was a used car salesman. He said he could never work for Cal.
