Does Chrysler still offer "Rich Corinthian Leather" in its cars?

[terrya]

Remember Ricardo Montalban pushing "Rich Corinthian Leather" in the Chrysler Cordoba?

Does Chrysler still offer it?

I don't know why in the world I just thought about that, but I did.

[Fenris]

Reeeech Coreeenthian Lay-ther.

I wonder if he is or will be buried in it.

4. I was going to post the same thing

I wasn't sure what Rich Corinthian Leather was

[Fenris]

5. Great minds, Lynne, great minds...

10. IT'S A PIMPMOBILE!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Lautremont]

I'm not too sure

but some friends of mine have a song about it called "Cordoba."

1. Wasn't it "fine" Corinthian leather?

[Kolesar]

2. I hope not

That is such a violence against another species !

[disgruntled_goat]

3. it's not the cars. it's the man.

I don't really remember the car(s). I do remember Montalban's phrasing. The man really knows his elocution.

Mr. Montalban 'owns' that phrase. Like the way John Cleese owns "and now for something completely different" or maybe like the way B*sh owns "duuh...UHhhh"

8. and the music

was Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez 2nd movement. Heartbreakingly beautiful music.

6. Nah, they made the Corrinth extinct, now they only have Genuines

to harvest leather from. That and the occasional Nauga they kill for it's hide :)

7. I was going to say, "I remember those. Man, they were some ugly cars."

But I somehow find myself strangley attracted to them. Must be the leather.

9. Dan Aykroyd - Best of SNL

Dan Aykroyd did a great spoof of the Chrystler commercials of the 70s on SNL. Its on the DVD "SNL - The Best of Dan Aykroyd." It is a trip.

11. I don't think I can make it to Corinth in this heap.

12. Rich Corinthian Leather no longer exists

thanks to compassionate conservatism. You can only find Impoverished Corinthian Leather, usually under bridges, at shelters, and occasionally in a rehab...
