It Came From YouTube: The Ultimate Warrior fights a giant snail so you’ll buy a Ford!

6 Submitted by "The Big Cheese" Paul Kraft on Sat, 26 January 2013, 11:47

In 1987 The Ultimate Warrior (then known as “The Dingo Warrior” in World Class Championship Wrestling) appeared in a series of commercials for “Westway Ford” which is a Ford car dealership in Texas that is still in business to this day.

It’s “Snail Damage III”? So they’ve had a problem with snail damage at least twice before? What happened?! There just has to be a story there.

Oh! Make an “Escort go”. I get it! Clever.

Here’s a second ad, and a third ad, and a fourth ad.

Buying a Chevy doesn’t make the world work!

I’ve never made an Escort “go” but I did get an escort to “come” on several occasions.

I think the pun is “S-Car go.” Because they marked the cars with an S.

I always remembered that annoying guy with the giant glasses and the cowboy hat in the commercials, his name was Joe Greed. Never knew that he did a commercial with the Warrior until now! I think that may have been right around the time I started watching wrestling, but still a little young to remember a whole lot.
