The title of this post made me smile ear to ear.... I can remember hearing that commercial like it was yesterday.... I was just a young pup and remember the 'fantasy island' guy saying that and I was like, "wow I want Corinthian leather in my car when I grow up"... Im still giggling now typing this... tooo funny...
Now for the record, I would have sworn it was actually "Rich Corinthian leather"....
But a quick search showed both of us wrong, House of Darts... It was "Soft Corinthian Leather"...... LOL

By the way, the search also uncovered this wonderful tidbit about Corinthian Leather:
Despite the exotic origin suggested by the name "Corinthian leather", much of the leather used in Chrysler vehicles during the era originated from a supplier located outside Newark, New Jersey.[4]

Can you imagine if they told the truth in the commercial: "Low Bid, Essex County New Jersey, Leather Alternative Seats"

Anyway.. too much fun.. Clever Post title, House of darts, thanks for the cheer-up.
