1. "It's only a model."

:shrug:

[Aristus]

2. I believe the actual quote was: "Why Corinthian leather?"

Ricardo Montalban could convince you that an Arkansas trailer park seemed classy.

The man had class and sophistication to spare. I will truly miss him. He seemed like a friend.

3. No Corinthian Cow either

:eyes:

4. Whew! That's a load off my mind.

Corinthians is that book they always use to say women shouldn't speak in church. :P


Bad bad joke, I know.

:hide:

[machI]

5. Ricardo Montalban took the secret of Fine Crinthian Leather to the grave

Now we will never know

[Bake]

17. It's RICH, dammit. Rich Corinthian Leather.

Bake

[machI]

19. Well I'm not rich, but I have been told that I'm fine

Like the time I came to after reaching into the back of an old tube burning television. But that is another story.

6. LIAR STFU! CORINTHIAN LEATHER IS REAL

:cry: I want my mommy!

7. There is too Corinthian Leather.

If it's produced in Corinth, Greece. But it wasn't used in cars.

[meegbear]

8. Corinthian leather comes in two styles: 'rich' and 'fine' ...

therefore, it exists.

9. Now I'm going to have to sell my Cordoba

Those bastards!

10. Isn't it remarkable that one of the most memorable marketing catch phrases

is entirely imaginary.

[LynneSin]

13. Not the first time that happened

I mean that's the gimmick they used to sell Sarah Palin to the masses

[NJmaverick]

15. True, but I suspect/hope she will be but a distant bad memory

in a year or two. This phrase has had real staying power. It's going strong over 25 years later.

[Justyce]

11. Wow, I wish my car seats were that plush & comfy! nt

[Sequoia]

20. Me too.

You could take a nap in that car.

[SacredCow]

12. It makes sense....

From the wiki link: "According to one reference, Chrysler's "Corinthian" leather was mass produced in a plant in Newark, New Jersey."

Newarkian Leather? Just doesn't have that ring, ya know?

[LynneSin]

14. Those Newarkians had the last laugh on us

Who would buy a car where the leather was made in the Armpit of America?

[peekaloo]

16. Khhhhaaaannnnnn you deceptive bastid!

:cry:

but don't dare tell me Fantasy Island doesn't exist!

[krispos42]

18. Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy, Easter Buny, Corinthian Leather, Compassionate Conservatives,

Fiscally-Responsible Republicans...

What fairy tale will fall next? :cry:

[Greyskye]

21. LEAVE CORINTHIAN ALONE!!!
