Rod Gilbert : Formerly Part Of The Canadian Mercury Meteor Program

The Mouth certainly is no gear head, as a matter of fact when it comes to anything mechanical he is about a useless as teets on a bull.

So when he started to do some research on Rod Gilbert being the focus of a 1970 Television ad launching the Mercury Meteor automobile, The Big Man was forced to do fact finding on a unfamiliar subject.

Upon further investigation, he found out that in 1970 that there were absolutely no Mercury Meteor's available for purchase in the United States.

So the mini-mystery began.

When things like this happen The Mouth in a paranoid state will usually listen for clues in the audio of the commercial  for something he misheard originally.

But after about 20 minutes of watching this one minute commercial like a mental patient, The Mouth was convinced that the ad was from 1970 and the car indeed was a Mercury Meteor.

Riding further down into the information super highway via his PC, The Big Man found out the Mercury meteor was discontinued in 1963 by Mercury in the United States, but was still available to Canadian drivers until 1976.

So by brilliant means of deduction this is a 1970 Canadian Television ad for the Mercury Meteor, featuring none other than Ranger great Rod Gilbert.
