I recall that Scrabble Commercial or one similar like it, that was cool :) Even in the 90s you can tell what car make was from what company, now it's all the same IMO. Here's this 1996 Mercury commercial. I really loved the designs of these cars :)

My dad worked at a car dealership when I was young and I used to love to grab the car pamphlets that had info on all the various cars and a fold out image of the vehicle.

That's a good story. Oh yes, I would that too. Anywhere there was a pamphlet, magazine, book of stuff I'd like, My nose would be into it and yes, even at car places ;) That was a great Wendy's. I miss the old Wendy's from them days :?

Here's this 1996 Shoney's commercial w/ Andy Griffith and no, I never ate there before :)

We pass a lot of S'Honeys once we hit the Carolinas driving to Myrtle Beach but have yet to stop at one.

Huh, how about that. There's many times We drive by a place and never experienced them. That's cool that you seen that in person PB ;) That was a great Laurel and Hardy commercial there. This reminded Me of National Super Market. I've expressed when I showcased them a while back that they had a small section of VHS Tapes at the end/beginning/corner of the isle. They had a big stack of Laurel and Hardy VHS Tapes there. Every tape was the same. I'd look at them every time Me & My Grandma would go there. Why I never wanted one is way beyond Me :? They had those for a long time. I say from 89 - 92 :? Maybe even till they closed their doors forever :batsmh: :wwsmh: :smsmh: I'm not sure, is all I know it was a long while. Here's this commercial of National :)

Yes indeed. I believe National was about the cheapest supermarket around during that time in the Midwest. As I noted before, Me & My Grandma went there a lot compared to Schnucks whom eventually took them over in around 93. That was a great Rambo: Force of Freedom there by Coleco. It sure was an exciting time then indeed.

Here's this from 1987 :)

Great A-Team commercial by Galoob. They sure made some great & iconic stuff back in the day :)

Here's this Ford Commercial from 1996, Gosh, I sure remember seeing this during WWF Monday Night Raw, WCW Monday Nitro and The X-Files like it was only weeks ago :shock:

I just remember getting the A-Team figures as a kid and thinking how cool all the accessories they came with were.
