> [@cochrane](#): > > It was really 867-5309, right? 😃 Somebody actually uses 867-5309 (not a toll-free number, either), although the only time I hear it is on Sirius/XM radio. Here are a couple that are local to San Francisco: (sung to “I Want A Girl Just Like The Girl That Married Dear Old Dad”) I want a car A David Varner car David’s got 'em all Impala, Nova, Vega, and Caprice David’s got 'em all for sale or lease I want a car A David Varner car Corner of Geary and Third (He’s far out) (sung to “See the USA in your Chevrolet”) See Ellis Brooks today For your Chevrolet Corner of Bush and Van Ness… Apparently, David Varner Chevrolet is still there; Ellis Brooks Chevrolet closed around 2008, and the new Ellis Brooks lot appears to be used cars only. ---
