- 20 Ford Commercials from 1976 (Elite, Monte Carlo, Cordoba, more)
The 1976 Ford Elite is a personal luxury car produced by Ford and marketed in North American from February 1974 to 1976, with the name Gran Torino Elite used in the first year. Based on the Torino, the mid-size two-door coupe was intended to be a less expensive Thunderbird alternative to compete with the increasingly popular intermediate personal luxury class of vehicles such as the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Pontiac Grand Prix, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Buick Regal, Dodge Charger and Chrysler Cordoba. It was essentially the concurrent Mercury Cougar XR-7 with a mild front end restyling to resemble the Thunderbird, different taillamps with a center reflector, unique twin opera windows, and large color-keyed vinyl moldings placed higher on the bodysides. The interiors were identical save for upholstery styles and minor trim.

Description of Ford Mustang taken from Wikipedia "The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from April 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobile known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of imitators. It was initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale the following year. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang, sharing its underpinnings with the Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment.”

I love how they weren’t saying that it’s the best but that it’s a good value.
They had much stricter laws on false advertising back then. Luckily in the mid 1980's there were loopholes that were permitted which allowed Ford to falsely advertise.
yeah, honesty
The Granada is almost as good and looks 'somewhat' like a Cadillac or a Mercedes.
"The Granada Sports Coupe is not quite a Mercedes but it is not quite $ 23,000 either". They were honest.
@@advancedchiropractic667 Mercedes=money pit
So they're basically saying:
"If you can't afford a good car, buy a Granada, because it kinda looks like one!"
Granada, basically a economy and replica version of a Mercedes Benz.
The 1976 Ford Torino and the Elite were MUCH better than the Granada...
Granada was based on the original Ford Falcon/Maverick chassis.
“You think you hate it now? Wait till you drive it!”
The nostalgia of watching these old commercials is cool.
They also showcase how far we have come as far as safety standards are concerned. The guy spraying the carcenegenic coating with no mask or anything at the beginning is a good example.
I'm surprised he wasn't smoking a cigarette while he was doing that.
The good ol days, back when my Mother told me to go play in traffic.
That Ford Granada commercial make me really want to buy Mercedes.
You see? Advertisement does work. :-)
Hahaha actually had similar thoughts..😄
All American cars in the 70's and 80's would have a soft ride and float making handling very dangerous. My late dad's 1978 Malibu V8 cost 7200 and the $10 gm shocks lasted one year or about 12,000 kms. 135hp only from 5 litres. In one of my cars,t the S4 I have 470hp from 3 litres.
That 450SLC is really classic now, while the old Granada is craigslist junk.
Had a gold 450 SLC for many years. Beautiful car but they forgot to upgrade the rear suspension from the convertible. With a couple of people and some luggage in the back the exhaust would keep hitting thigns
"Ford: Okay, we know it's not the best, but just... give it a chance... please?"
It wasn't a Mercedes but it was better than anything in its price range.
@@mikesamra9126 I want one with the 4 speed overdrive.
@@MisterMikeTexas I believe it was a 5th gear overdrive from a 4-speed manual.
It takes some balls to compare a Granada to a Mercedes ....big ones !
TheHelado36 Hell yeah Grenada was a hell of a lot better than a Mercedes.
Ron Peterson a modern one in quality I’m not sure about then though
TheHelado36 Granadas is made by Ford so no way in hell is a Mercedes anywhere near as good as a Granada.
@@ronp1018 I read the Ford Powershift transmissions are the best in the auto industry. Just ask Fiesta and Focus owners.
David Weber Well you’re an idiot then if you think that.
I was feeling oh so warm & cozy watching these nostalgic commercials with the lovely 70's music in the background & then............"we compared a new Cadillac, a new Mercedes & our brand new Ford Grenada ......."
LOLLLLLLL
Our Granada had the best Engine ford ever built the 302 matted with the c-4 transmission. .Car ran forever we owned it for 18 years and we went Everwhere in that car. It was a great car.
It was a great engine, very willing.
My car is 25 years old...
So where is it now?
Ford - We're not the best, but were pretty good.
Ironically the Mercedes are literally on every corner still .
@Amplass 333 I think he means the 1970's models. Grenadas were dead 4-5 years after they were made. I haven't seen one in 20 years, even in Michigan.
@@boogts I still have a 77 Monarch, which was the Mercury equivalent, and sold in Canada.
I used to drive my boss's Ford Elite on errands. What an elegant, silent, powerful boat of a car it was! I loved that car. Then his wife made him sell it and get a Toyota Celica. I quit shortly thereafter.
My mom had one of these as a kid (early 90's) in that exact same gold on gold. Compared to something like a Civic of the early 90's was about as night and day anything has ever been. The smog reg choked engine was awful and it was undriveable in snow w/o 100lbs of sandbags in the trunk, but the rest of that thing was beautiful. Cried when we got rid of it.
Why would his wife do something like that. Unless the car was breaking down then i see why
Smart woman he got.
Was her name Karen?
The art of automotive advertising was more fun, interesting, and informative in 1976 than today.
We didnt have a Ford Granada, We had a Mercury Monarch... La di Da!
My father had a Monarch as well, get this, a sport coupe model with gold pinstriping and gold accented black steel "sport wheels" with center caps. Black with black interior with a tan split top and had buckets with a floor shifted auto!
I'm a Ford fan, but no way in hell anyone is confusing a Granada for a Cadillac.
Exactly, aim for chevy and leave lincoln for cadillac
Or comparing that Grenada to a Mercedes Coupe....good God that Ford Marketing group had some balls....
Spenser Hawk My dad bought a Granada hell of a lot better than a Cadillac.
Ashley Sutherland Lol Cadillacs have always been Notorious for bad quality.
They used the Granada to make the Lincoln Versailles...which was made in response to the Seville...which in itself was based on a heavily reworked Chevy Nova X Car platform.
Tom Selleck driving a ford Elite in that commercial!!
Dont see it, gave me speed time
Yup, knew it was him right away. He was the 70s stud muffin of the day. Everyone wanted to look like Magnum P.I. LOL! :)
Holy sh=t....that was Magnum in a Ford Elite commercial.
Luca Meschino whoa the only other guy who noticed besides me!! 👏
I thought that was him! 😃
Remember when new car dealers took the hubcaps off the cars and locked them up somewhere safe until the car was sold? Hubcaps were always stolen off the new cars on the lots.
Now they take the wheels and leave the car on the ground. I'd rather have the hubcaps!
Cars left the factory without hubcaps and they were installed by the dealer as part of the pre-delivery process. Pre-delivery you go through a whole checklist to remove shipping material, clean the car and ensure all fluids are correct. Cars you saw on the lot that had not been through that process were usually fresh off the trailer and kept in the back of the lot. Also whenever you see video of cars leaving the line assembly line with hubcaps on, that was usually to dress the cars up as the video was meant to be released and they wanted the cars to look finished.
Now maybe things were different in high crime areas where they would have been more subject to theft, but 99% of all dealerships did it the way I stated in the prior paragraph.
I have not seen a single ad produced in my lifetime that compares products directly with their competitors.
Modern ads hardly try to persuade anymore either. I think they just try to stick in your mind.
$24,000 for a car in 1976 😱😱😱
Yeah...$23k for that Mercedes 450SLC...hilarious...that was back before the E.U. ultimately SHATTERED the value of German currency, no doubt!
The message of the spots is: "we produce cars that look very similar to Mercedes and Cadilac, but ours are cheaper".
I miss my Granada. Hugh Downs always had a reassuring voice. Thanks for the vid.
He's still kickin !
I had a '75 Granada Ghia 351W sedan back in the late '80's when in high school. It got me around that's for sure, but it sucked up gas, too with the big small block. But it was fun to run it up to speed as not many normal cars and many lower end performance cars could hang with it back during those dark times for horsepower! Even the innumerable Z24 Cavaliers running around then saw its tail lights!
Those 1976 Ford Torinos and Elites were very well built and GORGEOUS!!!!!
My parents had a new 76 base model Torino coupe, Wimbledon White, 351M. It came with bottle caps, because it was the entry model. Yet the blue interior was quite nice, and it had nice options like AM/FM and of.course a/c. Dad did buy full wheel covers for it immediately.
@@MisterMikeTexas I have a story from then you might like: Another friend had a base model Ford Crown Victoria with those "Bottle Caps" or as we call them in Canada "Dog Dish" Hubs and every time he was on the road or highway people would SIGNIFICANTLY slow down, he got pissed off having to pass so many people he just went and got the one-step up wheel covers!!
@@TheSpritz0 Dog dish, poverty caps, pie pans, etc. We have a lot of names for them here in the States. But even full wheel covers may not necessarily eliminate the slow down issue. Especially if his tires are blackwalls.
"The closer you look, the better you can see body panel gaps wide enough to walk through."
I love how they keep comparing themselves to Mercedes, which they basically paint as the gold standard.
jbenn425 Come to find out the fords were much better than Mercedes
@@ronp1018 LMAO !!!!!
They got that right at least. LOL
jbenn425 they were.
It was the case back in the day.
Now thanks to Scotty Kilmer more and more people know to stay away from modern German cars, unless you're a fan of endless money pits.
Or just lease the car.
Loved my 1976 Elite. I really miss that car.
Back when the commercials were about the product, and not about "You".
@mike york lol
I owned a 1976 Ford Elite. Blue w/white interior and half white vinyl roof. 400 cu. in. Around 11 mpg. Great car !
Wow..my Los Angeles based family had a white 1974 Pinto and a a yellow 1976 Maverick---both OK for So Cal freeway driving in the 1970s. One was traded for a Honda and one for a Nissan. C'est la vie.
What a decade of transformation!
This is great! My Mercedes is still running strong. Those others, well, you don't really see them anymore. You don't have to worry about recycling so much if what you have still works just fine.
Grew up in the back seat of a 1977 Ford Granada. I remember these commercials and how unique each individual vehicle could be by carefully selected custom orders. 👌😊
Jesus Mary & Joseph, seventies women are irresistibly delectable and organic... I would certainly have enjoyed kissing that angel in the ad for Mustang. 🙌
Today's scrap tin lunch boxes come in your choice of five big colors and a dizzying array of three whole optional equipment packages... all offered with convenient financing for up to 600 months!! 😝💸
Thank you for awaking golden memories. 👍😎
PS... YES I love my emojis and NO I will not be alright. 😛
Love your post:) LOL!!
Now all we need to do is find someone who was conceived in the back seat of a Granada.
The closer I look, I can't believe these spots ever aired.
Actually saw a Pinto the other day. As you can imagine I stayed back quite a bit
Had a 78 LTD Landau with the 400 2bbl. Loved that car. I drove it everywhere!
My brother had a brand new 1975 Elite (that year they were called Gran Torino Elite). One night he hit a deer on the NY State Thruway...the poor deer didn't stand a chance.
Deer Burgers
Oh deer
Yep, I had a '75 Granada, and I got rear ended by a Nissan pick-up, it didn't stand much of chance either and had to be towed away while I just drove away with his paint on my perfect bumper!
I remember those Granada vs Mercedes commercials and print ads. I had a '77 Granada in 1984, it was no Mercedes.
Ford Granada - the best engineering 2 six-packs of Lucky Lager can buy.
I remember my mom bought a lightly used Mercedes about the time the Granada came out. I remember she used to joke that she wanted a Granada, but had to settle for a Mercedes!
I was born in June 76, I've owned a very modest second-hand 2001 Ford Fiesta 1.3 for 9 years now here in Spain and I gotta say I'm satisfied with it, never gave me any serious problem, the Ford engine has always worked ok, I'd buy Ford again for sure.
The Cordoba was a nice driving car too. I met an elderly lady who'd been driving the same Chrysler since '76. She let me take It for a spin. It was immaculate, with a gorgeous leather interior! Brakes could put you through the windshield! We had a 77 LTD that went through 4 people and 25 years in the family (including Midwest winters). Build quality far exceeded the 77 Monte Carlo we used to have.
I had 1978 Ford Granada with a 302 V8, LOVED that car!! I drove it well over 200,000 miles, sold it and saw it around town for years after.
I had a 76 Granada Sport in 1986....Didn't realize how cool the car was!...
My father had a '76 Mercury Monarch Sport coupe, black/black with gold accented wheels and pinstriping w/ a tan split roof. It had bucket seats and a floor shifter, too! Too bad it didn't have a V8 though.
One side view right side mirror, Hugh Downs , love the 70's!!
My parents bought one of the first new 1974 Gran Torino Elites in the metro area , it was a off white cream body with a gold vinyl top and a off white cream interior . It came with some beautiful wire wheel cover hubcaps which were stolen and replaced at least three times which lead to them buying some wheels for it....Loved that car
Ford Elite - “midsize” 😂
Cars sure were bigger back then.
Only 12 yards....
“Anchors aweigh!”
@@josephi1047 well those engines propel boats right now.... For me as an European as a kid we never practically saw those cars but I liked them.....
That Elite is a freaking LAND YACHT by today's standards !!! ...Lol
Mustang II the mustang everyone wants to forget! Just think II could also mean second to everything else!
Yes I had the mustang 2 , it was a 1977 looked nice but was garbage, but not the worst car I ever had ,the worst was a 1974 datsun b210 total garbage.
Hood ornament on a Mustang...LOL
Wow....man do I miss these cars. I was about 9 or 10 years old playing with my friends in the street and up and down the curbs of sidewalks cars like these would line up the streets and we'd play games like which car is a Ford which one is a Cadillac, or Chrysler, what model and so on....them was the good ol' days.
I had them all.... I was the undertakers, Auto Salvage ! Keep the good stuff and found new homes or restored for me, enjoyed then sold !
1:16 look at these 1976 fashions. So wonderfully brown and beige. Look how happy they are. Makes me want a Ford Elite.
I remember when I was a kid those Ford Elite's were highly though of!!
A friend of mine had a 1975 Elite in high school it was dark brown with a white leather inside sunroof and a 460 v8 he was older then us and he used 2 give us rides 2 school, I wish I had that car today!!!!!
That was a friend of mine first car. She thought she was the bomb.
yes about 3 people in our small town got one . funny all 3 were silver .one had a 460 in it ..gas hog ..also CB Radio was the rage then . first cell phone and social media ... lol I do miss the 70's but only the good.
@@christhompson9486 No, that was the Pinto, lol.
I remember back in Chicago! Some guy has a red one with white leather or vinyl seats and spoke wheels! It was gorgeous!
The young people in the Mustang II, Boredom 0 commercial at 7:28 are now senior citizens!
The first Mustang ad I thought was very interesting...
They rusted faster in the 70’s and 80’s than other years!!!! Mid 70’s rotted faster than any other year!
It's 2018 and I still want that Granada!
Granada Sports Coupe WITH a stick? THE only collector from this batch, possibly...
Lou Dobbs, I remember some of these. Hilarious...
Momsy had a Mustang Ghia for a time, luxury baby!
Probably the highlight of this era is the Mustang II front end....
I got goosebumps!
Ford was rockin back in the day!
My great Aunt bought a new 1977 Granada. That car was so tight and quiet inside and rode super smooth but still handled and cornered great. Comparing to a Mercedes is apples and oranges but I'd rather have a Granada now. They are more unique looking than a Mercedes of this era those looked the same for years and years.
I prefer the Taunus/Cortina commercials with the Elmer Bernstein music for Gold.
Funny how the Granadas rear end sagged right out of the factory
Granada marketing was very clever.
"MID sized" from the seventies is "SUPER sized"nowadays. With fast food it has gone the opposite way btw.😉
I wish there was a place where the "world" presented in the ad at 1:00 was real and had a soundtrack like that playing wherever you went.
the year I was born.. makes me feel f'n old
I remember when i had a Ford Monte Carlo
@@1983jblack ...ah yes, great car
We had a 76 Torino, and later a 77 Pinto. The Pinto was only kept for a year before it was traded for a 78 Fairmont Futura coupe. I would have liked to have had the Pinto in high school. It had 4 on the floor.
and a garage bag for a gas tank
@@1983jblack 1977 and later Pintos came with the gas tank and filler protection from the factory.
Bragging about increasing your mileage to 13MPG. Ahhh, the '70s.
13 percent more.
Charlie's Angles cars!
That was my first thought when they showed that blue and white Cobra II.
Charlie's Angles or Charlie's Angels?
Tom Selleck is driving the Ford Elite at 1:17! I know that his Magnum PI days were 4 years in future, but I've seen him driving that Ferrari so many times that he seems out of place behind the wheel of a land yacht equipped with opera windows and a vinyl roof.
Awww how I miss the time without the Internet and no social media! We actually had go do stuff to meet people. So much better! But I must say that some of the stuff nowadays is better.
Ron Burgundy did Ford commercials as well as the news? What a guy. Also LOL at these prices... my god. I have some options in my truck that cost more than 4,000. Even in todays money that's only like 18,000 you need to double that number to get a car that is even 1/2 decent.
Ford was really grasping comparing their POS Granada to the Mercedes. They weren't even in the same universe in style or quality.
Thanks for uploading this! It was very enjoyable. I would love to own any of the cars shown in these commercials.
LMAO
"California here we come, Ya!"
Once in California;
"I wanna go home!"
Nothing has changed
California was a much nicer state in the 1970s than it is today.
Comparing Ford and Mercedes Benz. Big mistake
In 1984 my first car was a ford Granada. And oh boy if those back seats could talk!
That kiss at 815 is so Hot, ohhh the 70s so pure
it sure wasn't a 'happy new year, grandma' kiss...
So in '76 Ford was telling people to consider driving their Ford cars. By the 80s it was guilting them by asking, 'Have you driven a Ford lately?' It should have used the tagline, 'We laid off Joe the Autoworker. Because you didn't drive a Ford lately. Are you happy now?'
In the early '80's, Ford was touting, "Quality is now Job #1 at Ford"...Gee, what was it in previous years? "Job #13"?
jesus, that was a mid-sized? It's like a yacht on wheels. probably handled like one as well.
Watch Bud Lindemann test drive the 1974 Mercury Cougar brand new on Y/T. He really put it through the paces, and yes, it handled like a pregnant yak.
Can some newspaper or tv channel please hire the Ford Report guy? He's the least biased reporter I've seen in ages.
Ford ranked best in the vibration test because parts were falling off of it
That literally makes no sense
@mipmipmipmipmip The whole car is considered in vibration tests though.
7:00 The actor that plays the father is Harry Dean Stanton. He was in the movie Repo Man many years later. I think he was also in Escape from New York, and the Straight Story (a great movie, that one).
I had a Blue Ford Granada Coupe with a blue interior and A white vinyl landau roof treatment.It had a 302 V8.It was my moms old car it handled like a boat I hated it and wouldn't drive it fast and crazy and I was in my 20s lol.I sold it and bought a 1971 Plymouth Duster.
The Granada was a really nice looking car!! Can you imagine under 4000 dollars!!??
$3600 was still not chump change back then. A decade before that, $3600 would get you a decent Mercury or Pontiac.
I used to drive a none emt ambulance, and rested behind my local hospital at night. Up until 2009 I used to see an older black gentleman, he's a taxi driver. He had a yellow EU MK3 Granada. The shape was very different to the US models and I think most of it was British built, but good God it looked really mint. Being a taxi it must have been to the moon and back, yes mercs are reliable but I doubt the cost is even comparable nor the ease of diy repair.
1:17 They look so lovely together cruising along. Where do they go? It matters not. They already are in heaven
The Elite was actually a test to see how the public would react to a scaled down sized Thunderbird.
I see what you did there!
well. . They did in a big way. over 300,000 were sold each year in 77 to 79.
Monty Carlo for me
Barry Pfost Very ugly car that monte Carlo was
@@ronp1018 Most mid seventies cars were ugly designs, due to government safety mandates.
The 5 mph bumpers made it tough for some manufacturers to create a good looking nose and rear.
I think Ford struggled the most with implementing the bumpers into a good design.
GM had some nice looking solutions with their urethane nose on the Chevy Laguna S-3.
Pontiac IMO/ had some of the best looking mid seventies cars ever made.
The Monte is an acquired taste. It's something you fall in love with, if you have one.
Hugh Downs sounded like he was 80 even when he was young.
Ford was refreshingly honest with these commercials
Back in the day, my parents bought a new baby blue '78 Mercury Monarch Ghia with a blue vinyl top (oy, why?!!). It had sat unsold from the assembly date for nearly a YEAR before my dad bought it for my Mom. I came home to visit and couldn't believe they bought that thing, right down to its wire wheels and pimp-wide factory whitewalls. What were they thinking?? It was loaded with all options and had the 2V 302, and was in typical smog detuned mode from the factory. A childhood buddy who was quite the auto tinkerer (smart dude, worked at JPL/Pasadena as an electrical engineer for years) and taught me everything I know about cars, worked with the carburetor and timing, and managed to wring what felt like another 25 horsepower out of it. He also worked with the linkage on the C4 transmission in some way, so it would upshift more readily and not hang in gears. The result was a torquey, quiet engine with more effortless power delivery. He also put in super heavy duty shocks (stiff shocks and soft springs make for a great ride...never understood soft shocks AND soft springs from the factory) My parents drove that "creampuff", as my dad called it, for 20 years...no engine , tranny or electrical problems, including seats and windows, evey...was absolutely bomb proof. Ah, the good old days.
My dad gave me the family car as a graduation present. A copper colored '76 LTD with white vinyl top and a 351M engine. I miss the car but not the MPGs.
I would love driving one of these boats around today.
I say this as a child of the era: the '70s were the absolute nadir of human history.
Tom selleck also did STETSON ADS
私が小学生の頃(1983)まで父親が真っ白のグラナダの2ドアに乗ってました。車内は真っ赤のレザー?ビニールレザー?でした!とても大きい車でした。当時はベンツよりアメ車に乗ってる人の方が多かったと思います。
I notice Elaine Finkelstein at 3:41 in the Granada commercial, I then notice Dan Rather at 4:43 in the LTD commercial, I happen to notice Walter Cronkite at 5:57 in another Ford LTD commercial, I did notice John McCook at 6:58 in the Maverick commercial, and I now notice Brodie Greer at 7:41 in the Mustang II commercial.
i remember those.. the rear seats were ridiculously tight.. and the front seats were thick as bricks.. i know, i had a ride in a cordoba to montreal and i almost died of claustrophobia
Cool stuff where is my time machine so I can Go back and get a few of these cars lol
This kind of respect in advertising is really refreshing to be honest. All you see now is "OUR SHITS THE BEST, THEIR SHIT SUCKS! INITIAL QUALITY BUZZWORD, JD POWER - WHOEVER THE FUCK THAT IS - LIKES OUR CAR!"
