A San Francisco version of "See the USA in your Chevrolet" for a local dealer in the 1960s went:
"See Ellis Brookes today, for your Chevrolet,
corner of Bush and Van Ness.
He's got a deal for you, oh what a deal for you,
the kind of deal you'll like the best."

Camera then shows ol' Ellis Brookes himself, sitting behind a desk with five coffee cans stacked on it. "I'll give you five pounds of Hills Bros. coffee just for coming in and taking a look." (very gravelly voice)
