To this day, a friend and I still quote parts of those commercials in Tom Carvel's voice. Sadly though, I've never eaten a Fudgie the Whale.Comment

Heard so much about this place from my guitar bud: Joe Romagnola and I also got a bootleg of Zakk Wylde jamming out from there!!!
I think either Mountain or Leslie West's band played there too and there is a boot from there also!!!Comment

This old F*****, when I was living in LA, I would see his commercials late at night and when I would drive the 405 down to Huntington Beach I would see the dealership from the freeway!! Always wanted to GO SEE CAL, but was worried he would see me a LEMON!
I am so sure that he was a HUGE INFLUENCE on CHOPPER and his late night INFOMERCIALS in Las Vegas and how he ended up doing KING OF CARS on A&E!!

That old F***** served gallantly in World War II. Mr. Worthington enlisted in the Army Air Corps. Commissioned a Second Lieutenant, he was the aerobatics champion at Goodfellow Field in San Angelo, Texas. He saw combat as a B-17 Flying Fortress pilot with the 390th Bomb Group, flying 29 missions over Germany. He was discharged after the war as a captain. Worthington was awarded the Air Medal five times, and received the Distinguished Flying Cross, which was presented to him by General Jimmy Doolittle.
Worthington's military service was frequently revisited in the 21st century in aviation magazines, since he had trained pilots who would become some of America's first astronauts.sigpicComment
