Does anyone remember DICK BALCH CHEVROLET?

My '71 C20 came brand new from Dick Balch Chevrolet in Federal Way Washington. It went to Montana for some years then back to west Seattle, then to south Seattle. I'm sure most locals growing up in the 70's remember him. He was a hippie car lot owner. His commercials often had him walking through the lot with a sledge hammer. He' stop at a vehicle and state the price was too high. He'd follow up by slamming the vehicle with the hammer and advertise a lower price. Later Cal Worthington opened shop at that location. I have searched like crazy, but can't find anything of value on the internet. I'm surprised youtube does not have one of his commercials on it. Maybe I've spelled the name wrong? Anyone with info?

Some people are like Slinkies... not really good for anything, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.
