Since we've officially declared today to be International Corinthian Leather Day and all, we should probably hear from Señor Montalban himself. Here he is explaining to David Letterman just what's the deal with the Cordoba's super-special hides.

Today Is International Corinthian Leather Day!

We make a lot of Chrysler Cordoba/Corinthian Leather jokes around here, but it occurs to us that perhaps some of our younger readers have never experienced the 1975 Cordoba ad that started it all. We hereby declare today International Corinthian Leather Day! All of you must use your cheesiest Ricardo Montalban accents for the rest of the day, ideally whilst stroking pieces of office furniture and intoning the sacred words. Enjoy!
