I'm looking for a classic series of commercials from the 60's: a dapper bespectacled, mustachioed Hispanic gentleman in his 40's-50's plays a difficult classical piece like Chopin's Polonaise for about 10 seconds and then launches into a pitch to the audience for carpeting for their homes. Anyone recall this? It would be extremely helpful. I've goggled to no avail. Thanks much to anyone who can help.

excellent stab, summerz, but no that's not the one, though the guy selling the carpet is nearly identical to the one I remember. I'll bet it's tied up somewhere in one of those large collections of commercials that run 2 hours. Imagine having to sit through 12 hours of 30-second spots to find one commercial!

Thanks for trying.
