THAT OLD CAR'S WORTH MONEY... It's a Chicago classic...the Victory Auto Wreckers commercial. 33 years ago this week, WGN undertook shooting this very spot, on a Bensenville side street, after the original spot from 1981 was run so many times it wore out the tape. In this raw, unedited clip, listen carefully as you can hear the off-screen director giving some really good direction to "actor" Bob Zajdel. The door scene only took two takes. | WGN TV

Sodaneck on Instagram: "Victory Auto Wreckers' 1992 commercial is a legendary Chicago-area ad that became a staple of late-night TV. The ad features a man struggling to open his old car door before it literally falls off, emphasizing that even the most broken-down vehicles have value. With the unforgettable jingle and the famous line about getting cash for junk cars, this low-budget yet effective commercial ran for decades, making it one of the most iconic regional ads ever. #VictoryAutoWreckers
