Philadelphia Inquirer:
Consumer Watch | When auto ads play print games
By Jeff Gelles, Inquirer Columnist

The big print in an auto ad in last Monday's paper caught Dale Shaw's eye. The little print got under his skin. The ad featured two cars for lease, plus the car that interested Shaw: a used, low-mileage 2006 Volkswagen Passat for $17,990. ...

Shaw tried to goad me, too: "I always enjoy your column when you skewer some sleazeball who plays fast and loose with consumers. But when your own newspaper is the venue for some of those 'fast & loosers,' what then?" ...

Ironically, he used to do sales for a station that had Carsense ("No worry cars at no haggle prices") as a client. ::)
 
Re:/ex-PEN jock /2006 Passat

$17.990 for a low-mileage 2006 Passat...that sounds like a great price.
 
Read the article. That wasn't the actual price. That was the problem.
 
Is there anyone on the Philadelphia board that can help me locate Dale Shaw
who at one time was a jock at WXTU and at WPEN during its pre sports oldies period?
I worked with him in Florida in the early 70's and we have always kept in touch.
On ocassion we would loose contact but he would eventually call during the holidays,
In the past I could call his family in Birmingham and Mobile, Alabama to reach him but they are now deceased.
In addition to WPEN he also did voice work for several clients,
I will keep an eye on the Philadelphia board for any info

If anyone runs into him have him call me: Chris Hall
WFNX Boston
(781)595-6200
Thanks for any help you can give
 
Dear Fred Flintstone, thanks so much, before I even had a chance to start searching with your info I got a call from the jock on the air at WFNX saying Dale left a new phone # for you.
It turns out that he just got rid of his land line at home and like many do these days just keeps a cell phone and was sorry for not keeping in touch.

It seems he received 4 or 5 calls this morning to say I was looking for him .

Thanks to everyone on the Philadelphia board

Thanks to everyone on the Philadelphia board.....NOTHING AGAINST ANY POSTER ON HERE AT ALL ... NO OFFENSE TO ANY ONE : GETTING RID OF A LANDLINE IS A MAJOR MISTAKE ....I HAVE MULTIPLE REASONS , AS WELL AS FACTUALITIES TO A POINT WHEREAS IT MIGHT NOT EVEN BE "JUST IN MY OPINION" .... BUT I'LL CALL IT AN OPINION
