Thomas Built Buses Sponsorship In NASCAR
I commend Thomas Built Buses for sponsoring a car in NASCAR.
In this case, they are sponsoring Brad Keselowski driving the #2 car prepared by Penske Racing.

The Nissan Heritage Center-A Place That Arthur And His Parents During One Of Their Many Visits To Japan
A place of great importance and of great interest to David, Jane, and Arthur Read-the Nissan Heritage Center; which the Reads visit during one of their many visits to Japan in the Arthur movie for adults.
The Nissan Heritage Center is also of great importance and of great interest to Ed, Millicent, and Mary Alice “Muffy” Crosswire. Ed himself is a dealer that sells Nissans, Toyotas, and Subarus under one roof at the same location in the United States.
The Crosswires visit the Nissan Heritage Center many times during their visits to Japan in the Arthur movie for adults.

Someone Who Owns a Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero In Early Life And Continuous Livelihood
Somebody owns an V45W Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” because it has the versatility and people carrying ability of a minivan, because they like Mitsubishi Motors’ proprietary technology such as Select Shift 4-wheel-drive, because they like the vehicle having the same V6 engine as a Chrysler minivan and because of that-being assured that it will get them from Point A to Point B as well as a Chrysler minivan would; because they like the lettering and graphics on the instrument cluster, transmission shifter, and transfer case shifter being typical of a Mitsubishi truck; and because they like the characteristics atypical of Mitsubishi Fuso engineering.
The people that own this vehicle never consider the engineers in Japan assigned to work on the V45W project, and the amount of hours Mitsubishi Fuso had spent developing and testing the V45W project before it had gone into production in 1991.
These seem to be very popular in Australia, and I don’t know why.

PBS television program MotorWeek’s review on the V45W Montero from 1992:
This vehicle still isn’t my cup of tea, but they did build these with the center-band two-tone paint job that I like for the Japanese Domestic Market.
Television Commercial For WNIC-FM From 1977
Television commercial for WNIC-FM from 1977.
A commercial very similar to this one is what NPVT-FM runs on the television station around the same time period in the Arthur movie for adults, trying to increase the listenerrship in the Elmwood City area.
Television News Magazine That Was Locally Produced In-House By CFCF-TV
One of the many television programs that CFCF-TV had locally produced in-house, Park Avenue Metro was a news magazine that was similar in fashion to 60 Minutes, 20/20, NBC’s Dateline, the CBC’s The Fifth-Estate; and the CTV Television Network’s W5.
This television program’s title was named after the Montreal Subway system’s station across the street from CFCF-AM-TV and CFQR-FM’s studios at 405 Ogilvy Avenue in Montreal.
