34. Big San Francisco Chevrolet dealership piggybacked the campaign with their own radio jingle

They totally saturated the airwaves with it for decades and decades, even after Dinah Shore's ads were discontinued. I guarantee there isn't a person who lived in the Bay Area who can't remember the words.

See Ellis Brooks today, for your Chevrolet,
corner of Bush and Van Ness.
He's got a deal for you, oh what a deal for you,
a Chevy deal you will like the best.
