Cal Worthington -- the legendary car dealer who became famous for his "Go see Cal" TV commercials has gone on to that great used car lot in the sky, TMZ has learned.

Worthington -- who had dealerships in Long Beach, CA, Anchorage, Alaska, Phoenix, Houston, Sacramento and other cities -- died Sunday at his ranch in California.

Worthington did commercials for decades, often sharing the screen with animals including his dog Spot. 

Cal and his dog Spot. Oh boy do I remember those commercials.

Me too, but I didn’t realize his dealerships were so wide spread. I remember him well on Seattle TV stations so naturally thought he was local.

When we moved to AZ I was shocked to see he had dealerships down here, too...
