    The Marlboro Man. I remember seeing him ride his big old hoss during the commercial breaks while watching the Wonderful World Of Disney on Sunday nights. Later it was revealed he didn't smoke. Bob

    "The brand's signature dark-green pack was changed to white in 1942. In a famous advertising campaign that used the slogan "Lucky Strike Green has gone to war", the company claimed the change was made because the copper used in the green color was needed for WWII. American Tobacco actually used Chromium to produce the green ink, and copper to produce the gold-colored trim. A limited supply of each was available, and substitute materials made the package look drab.

    The white package actually was introduced to modernize the label and to increase the appeal of the package among female smokers; market studies showed that the green package was not found attractive by women, who had become important consumers of tobacco products. The war effort became a convenient way to make the product more marketable while appearing patriotic at the same time."

    Yep, they used a crop duster to paint your car with. Just pull up in the driveway and wait in your car and for an extra $10 bucks they'd make 2 passes over your car.

    I had a bottle of Hai Karate in my medicine cabinet up to about 5 years ago when I moved. It must have sat there for at least 25 years and tossed out when I was packing.  I did keep the bottle of English Leather however and it is at least as old.  Still smells nice and is 3\4's full!  
  • BrookwoodBrookwood Member, Moderator Posts: 13,768 ******

    Believe it or not!  This IS an Earl Sheib paint job!   The young kid working there went to extra measures for me and nearly lost his job!  I did not ask for it but he really liked my car.  I had it all primed when I took it in. Also tipped him quite a bit more than the shop bill.
