Contest Entry - Ernie Kovacs for Ford, 1955

Ernie's commercials were mostly for Dutch Masters Cigars, but I think he makes a fine pitchman for the Ford Motor Company too.

My mom was an Ernie Kovacs fan, but I don't know much about his work. I'd like to know how that special accessory that made the top go up automatically when it rained worked and if it really did work. I guess it was some sort of moisture detector, but I don't think I would want that if I was doing 70 on the freeway.

The non-station wagon cars are pretty!
