Everybody's favorite old lady from the 80s, Clara Peller, drives like a lunatic in her search for The Beef.

LOVE this commercial- Glad I found it on YT. Sarah is driving a 1949 Chrysler Royal- the same as my 1st car. Asked my dad to find a car older than 1960. He found this 4 door Chrysler sedan in 1974. I got my license in '75. At school, they called it 'The Refrigerator' or 'Moby', since it was so hugh & repainted white. It still had the original mohair (lt brown) interior covered with clear plastic covers- could seat 4 in front & 4 in back! Had a cast iron straight 6 & fluid drive (clunk-o-matic) trans, & a 6 volt POSITIVE ground electrical system. Had OPTIONAL heater & an AM tube radio which had to 'warm up' before it played. Wish I still had it :-( RIP- Sarah- "Where's the beef?" & the car is CLASSIC!!

She was first discovered at age 80 from working a temporary job as a manicurist for a television commercial set. The agency was so amused by her no nonsense personality, they asked her to sign on as an actress to do some commercials. Imagine becoming an instant cultural icon at such a late age in life.
