He started in used cars, and that was his specialty until he got in bed with ford.

His dealership was the king of bait and switch, the used cars featured in the commercials were never on the lot. Pretty sure they invented that game.

His dealership would promise anything to get you there, and then change the deal at the last minute. IOW, car salesmen.

And that whole dog spot thing? It was created to try to screw over a competitor.
A small-time car sales guy put out a commercial with his real dog, named spot. Worthington didn't like anyone else muscling in on his territory, so he flooded the market with HIS commercials and made it look like the little guy was copying HIM.

They were always up to something. like promising a free radio or tickets or whatever for every test drive, but they always seemed to be fresh out of whatever they promised.
Bait to get you in the door.

I don't know if he was any worse than the rest, but that don't say much.
