“It’s not whether you win or lose – it’s the beer you choose.”

I really like these next two Schlitz Light spots. They feature James Coburn, being James Coburn. The man brings his own special drinking glass in a fancy box to the races and while out mountain-climbing. Of course.

The spots aired in September of 1978. Have a good Saturday.
