Mr. Ed Short Opening Studebaker Sponsor

"MISTER ED" was originally sponsored by Studebaker from 1961 through '63- first in syndication, then on alternate weeks when the show moved to CBS...

a free country??? remember ruby ridge and waco

WagonAir - Neat Great Post.

"The advanced thinking of Studebaker" was apparently stupid enough to put a dog in the open air back of a station wagon where he could jump ro fall out. Even today on the road you sometimes see idiots with dogs sliding around in the backs of pickup trucks.

You have to remember that this commercial was done back when the United States used to be a free country...

It's still a free country -- unless the next election changes things. One would like to think that we're a little more savvy today than we were in '62 -- when The Flintstones was sponsored by Winston cigarettes (!) and cars had no seat belts. My family was horribly injured in a crash after flying out of a Studebaker just like that one.

It's a 40 year old commercial from before the PC BS started, GET OVER IT!

You are correct. I was tired when I put it on line and really didn't listen to the song closely. Clearly, you are right. Thanks, changed made on description.

No problem! I wonder, in today's merged world, when will we hear a railroad commercial that features a revised version of "On The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe"? "We can take your freight all the way On the Burlington Northern Santa Fe!"

The commercial is to the tune of "The Atchinson, Topeka and Santa Fe", made famous by Judy Garland!
