I'll paint any car for $39.95 no ups, no extras. Earl Schieb.
I have met the man that is, Cal Worthington. If you want to save a buck, go see Cal. He stand on his head (or eat a bug) to make you a better deal. I still do subcontract work for them, but haven't seen Cal in a decade.

You know, you're right about the Dial Chevrolet but i think that was a name change. I know it was Stanley Chevrolet in the old days and I think the line was, "2 blocks OFF the Santa Ana Freeway, 1-1-9-8-0 East Firestone...." Maybe Dial bought out Stanley?
I'm so old I swear I remember the Earl Scheib paint job when it was $29.95!! Egad, can you imagine the quality on one of those jobs?! They would advertise on the old wrestling show from the Olympic Auditorium emcee'd by Dick Lane ("Whooooa Nelllie!!).
I was a little kid but my Dad would watch it religiously. Freddy Blassy (sic?) was already older and walked with a cane but he was there calling everyone a "pencil-necked geek". I remember "Mil Mascaras" - because he was from Mexico and of course my Dad liked him. Haystack Calhoun - big ole overall wearing 'neck with a corncob pipe and a straw hat. Crap, I'm getting (gotten?) old
