I know it extends beyond SoCal, but thought this might be of interest...

He has eaten his last bug, walked his last tiger and made his last flight on the wings of a bi=plane.
RIP Cal.

RIP, Cal. I grew up with his commercials as a kid in Los Angeles. Thanks for the memories.

made his last flight on the wings of a bi=plane. Found that one too, along with a bunch of his "dogs":
Go See Cal!

I’ve seen many of his commercials. I bought two Ford pickups from his Long Beach dealership back in the mid 80s. I saw Cal in person in the 70s when he made an appearance at a ZZ Top concert at Anaheim Stadium. He was there to wrestle his dog spot (a tiger). His act ended when someone threw a whole watermelon on stage and it startled the tiger. How anyone thought his being there with a tiger was a good idea I’ll never know.
