The Tale of Timmy from Long Chevrolet

Way back, years ago, in 1980 Chicago, there was a car dealership called Long Chevrolet. As part of the advertising campaign, a young boy named Timmy was used as an old fashion newsboy. There were very obnoxious and, even as a young man, didn’t link them.

I had heard stories that this “Timmy” was a real spoiled brat, a pain in the butt when they were making these commercials. I have no idea if that is true,

Finnally, on one of the later ads, the kid get what he deserves. The rumor went around that he had no idea that this was going to happen. Anyway, this is just a little blast for years ago that I thought I would share.
