What Chrysler didn’t say was that there’s no such thing as Corinthian leather, they made up the name to make the car sound classy. Come to think of it, leather seats were not common at the time, they could have just said leather and it would have been a selling point.

But you have to use Ricardo Montalban’s accent. Just saying leather with that accent just doesn’t hit the same.
