In 1975, he was chosen as the television spokesman for the new [[Chrysler Cordoba]]. The car became a successful model, and over the following several years, was heavily advertised; his mellifluous delivery of a line praising the "soft", "fine" or "rich [[Corinthian leather]]" upholstery of the car's interior became famous and was much [[parody|parodied]], and Montalbán subsequently became a favorite subject of impersonators. For example, [[Eugene Levy]] frequently impersonated him on ''[[Second City Television|SCTV]]'', as did [[Dan Aykroyd]] on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]''. In 1986, he was featured in a magazine advertisement for the new [[Chrysler New Yorker]].<ref>No Corinths were harmed during the filming of old Ricardo Montalban ads: [Ontario Edition], David Menzies, National Post, September 10, 2004: DO4.</ref>
