"Cordoba. The car for the man who know who he is!"

Been a fan of sorts since the '50s. He was much better than some give him credit for.

Funny....how famous that line from a commerical was. Oddly enhough that's a misquote as Montalbán actually says that "soft Corinthian leather" is an available upholstery option for the 1976 Chrysler Cordoba.

Even more odd is there is no such thing as Corinthian leather. Just a marketing term.

Farewell Ricardo.

Corinthian Leather = a product of the Corinth Leather Company, Corinth NY.

On a side note, Number Six also died. RIP Patrick McGoohan.

We have a generation of bad Montalbán impersonators to blame for it.

Patrick McGoohan too! I wonder if the cause of death was being smothered by a giant floating bubble. :p
