? Corinithian Leather
It might be worth noting that while most people remember the phrase as Rich Corinthian Leather, Montalban never said this. He used Soft Corinthian Leather, and in a few separate ads Rich Leather. Hogwaump (talk) 17:54, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, he did. He did several commercials from 75-83 or so. He said both "soft" and "rich" in different ones. Go to YouTube and watch them all. EDIT: Here is one with "rich." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7ylbDGbR0Q Sir Rhosis (talk) 23:10, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
- I've changed to "rich" and linked to an actual commercial, but he did use other adjectives. Should we note them all? Sir Rhosis (talk) 18:52, 10 February 2018 (UTC)
- In the commercial actually linked to in the article, Montalban says "Soft Corinthian leather", and even the New York Times seems to prefer that one: https://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/01/14/getting-it-right-for-ricardo-montalban/
- Listen again. He says "rich" in that one. About sixteen seconds in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7ylbDGbR0Q EDIT: I see where we are talking at cross purposes. You're referring to the commercial under the EXTERNAL LINKS section. I'm referring to a different (1980) commercial linked to in the body of the article.

Alternatively, you could just delete the article, because it's a really unimportant one. 68.32.209.67 (talk) 16:26, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks to a recent poster, we now have citations for all adjectives (fine, soft and rich) used in various commercials by Montalban to describe the Corinthian Leather. Thanks so much for your efforts. Sir Rhosis (talk) 21:13, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
Still not clear
It's never actually stated that "Corinthian leather" itself either is or is not a leather of any kind; it's 'just' an "upholstery."
The article only states that "much of the leather" -- not "Corinthian" -- that was used in Chrysler cars came from New Jersey.
So, is "Corinthian leather" real leather or not? 2600:8800:784:8F00:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 01:55, 1 November 2019 (UTC)
