Thanks for the “Fine, Corinthian Leather”

I’ve just read that Ricardo Montalban passed away.  Very sad.  He was quite the ’70s TV icon on Fantasy Island, and certainly had my full attention as Kahn, in Star Trek on both the small and big screen.  I can’t even begin to tally up how many times I’ve uttered that famous line from the beginning of Fantasy Island, “My dear guests, I’m Mr. Roarke your host .  Welcome… to Fantasy Island”.  And to this day I can’t look at a ’70s Chrysler automobile and not ponder the question, does that car come equipped with  fine, Corinthian Leather?

Wow, where has my childhood gone?
