Drove into a Ford Dealership in 1993, pouring rain. No one would even come out of the showroom except their oldest salesman with an umbrella. Bought two new Fords from him that day, one for me and one for my wife. Sold my car privately. That's why he was their top salesman.
Isn’t that something? When watching footage of decades past I always try to put myself in the moment and imagine (re)experiencing an extinct modernity. But whether cars, fashion, electronics, whatever, I can't help but see them as quaint relics. The shiny varnish of newness is gone forever.
@@DoggoneNexus I noticed it years ago watching reruns of 1970s game shows where the big prize was a new car, and they just looked like old relics even though they didn't have a single mile on them yet.
Yeah. But if you watch modern Nascar, you just see modern corporate crap going in a circle. Back in the day the old style cars were so much cooler. Like the Chevy Lumina, while it looks like a box on wheels now it was way cooler than what they use now.
People were so friendly and social back then, like the salesperson was so jovial and outspoken. If someone acted like that today, they'd just get weird stares and treated like an alien from another planet
Because a camera was recording them but overall I get your point. Blame social media and the internet over all. I feel like things changed in late 90s early 2000s… not just a few things but almost everything. Drastic changes and quick… the speed of technological advancements is bizarre. We didn’t have that before. It took decade or more for things to technologically advance in the past but in the 2000s it would be more like a year or two and by then your tech is out of date already.
For what it's worth "Northern Virginia" where this was filmed, is the wealthy region in the United States....or was back then. All the President Reagan military industry spending, also a black county called Prince George's is nearby, richest Black county in the United States.
@@tewksburydriver8624 Our time on this earth is such a blip in time. Yep, I was a little kid when you were born. Time takes off like a rocket ship as we age.
That greenish/blue Mustang was my first car but mine had the hub caps. Summer of 1997, it was 2 years old and I was about to enter SDSU. Still have it to this day. Over 350k miles on it. Never getting rid of it.
Dam to be a freshman in 1997 @sdsu I’m a senior here and it’s a party school BUT I heard from the older people that this school was even more wild back then
I loved buying cars in the 90s....no shortages, every color available and as a percentage of income, the cheapest they've ever been for the American consumer.....oh and they were reliable with a minimum of over-engineered electronics.
I really miss having a true selection of colors. Nowadays even if you factory-select your color, the options are like… white vs. pearl white, maybe a matte color thrown in to spice it up.
Thanks for this video, brings back a flood of memories! I started my technician career for ford in 93. Had to hang it up in 2017 due to the old body saying no more.
I remember going to a Ford dealership in the 90’s as a kid. I was a little over eye level with the side scoop on a red SN95 Mustang inside the show room like the ones in the video. That 1994-1998 body style just stood out from all the other cars at the time. Fast forward 30 years and I’m hooked on Mustangs. Great video.
I still remember walking into a dealership with my dad when I was 12 and seeing a 94 cobra convertible and thinking the interior was the most futuristic thing I’d ever seen.
This is so cool. Thank you for uploading. That was a great year for Ford. Almost half of their lineup with new that year or almost new. The Explorer the Crown Vic the 94 Mustang the Escort the Probe the Taurus , the Econoline they were all new around that time Ford was killing it.
My husband and I bought our first car in 1994, we had 5 kids and needed room, we bought a 1988 suburban, we still have it to this day! All but one kid is grown and moved out. Happy happy days.
@@OliverMoore1973 ..nope, we have put a rebuild engine and transmission, it runs great, the paint on it is not fairing well, but we get complaints because it’s “the old look”. Lol. We still drive it especially during the winter since it’s a 4x4. ✌🏽

I was graduating high school in 1993. I can feel the nostalgia in this video. The 80’s and 90’s were some awesome decades. The last best decade in my opinion.
That was when the new Mustang rolled out, and the "fox body" came to an end after a decade. I think a lot of those people there were just being tourists who wanted to see one up close.
@@emeyer6963 $23,000 in '93 is around $45,000 in today's currency. $23,000 was a lot of money for a car in 1993. You could easily buy a brand new car for under $10,000.
I was a lot attendant at a Ford dealer from 1991 to 1995 when I was in high school. I remember waiting for the 4.6 in the Mustang like the customer was, except I wasn't close to being able to buy one. Although I worked in the used car department, I really liked seeing what was coming off the truck, and remember the pop the exhaust made from the 5.0 fox bodied Mustangs when they were new. These old videos are great!
@@ssj2camaro21 Rounded body lines, modern interior. Tech wise it was a standard ford for the most part. It was a decent car. Ford did some good stuff in the 90s. I worked at a For dealer and drove many of them. The right exhaust tip was not connected to the exhaust, it was fake haha. I was a Mark VIII guy myself.
I was thinking the same thing..... you would have thought that they would have upgraded the pump by that point. It just screams cheap and "I'm going to be nothing but trouble"
@@joegrahe3958 I think they all did back then except for the imports. I remember the Yukons/Tahoes had a horrible whine from the fuel pump with the 5.7
Compare this to the 1986 "buying a car video"! Seven years and it's an entirely different era. Obviously different dealers, different states, but still. Wow. All that 1970's and early 80's iron is long gone. I'd guess Dave from "Anything on Wheels" was enjoying his retirement on a golf course in 1993.
I'm 45. The world started changing so much after about 1987-ish. Everything got better in the 90s. When it comes to cars, the 1990 Z32 300ZX revolutionized the car industry. Made most 80's and older cars look so old!
I like the new '94 Mustangs but man all those '93 fox bodies lined up and that red 5.0 convertible looked sweet. I'd even be checking out that black Crown Vic in the showroom.
Look at those beautiful 9th gen f series trucks! And those people looking at buying the redesigned mustang were surely making a solid choice. Super reliable cars.

Not a 93….but I owned a 92 Buick regal grand sport….it was still to this day the best quality car I ever owned….the first 3.8 3800 series engine…..I put 285,000 on it and it was still driving when we said goodbye…..then I went into a brand new Buick regal grand sport 2001…..that car was the second best quality car I owned….got the same amount of miles outta that one too….these were the best years ever really.
If only I could travel back in time to give advice... I'd go up to these people and say "Psssst, you want the 1993 mustang, or 1992 if they have any on the lot"
Bought my first “new to me” car in 1986, a 1984 Ford Mustang. Even though it ate a water pump about once a year, I loved that car, especially the T-tops.
Typical salesman at the end … customer asks when the modular V8 , the 4.6 is coming out … salesman says , probably late availability, a couple of months… try a couple of years 😂
I love it when the sales manager pulls out the n a d a book trying to bring these people's trade-in value down and they're all engaged chewing gum looking down at the book like they're a couple of cows chewing the cud.
My Buddy bought a beautiful 94 mustang,got the engine replaced,then parked it in 2007,it's been sitting ever since. The interiors are so beautiful,even today velour still looks amazing in cars.
That cringe moment when customers are staring in the engine bay of a brand new car without question or comment, the sales lady with two-tone shoes that look mismatched from the side awkwardly points out the shiny horse, and the sales guy asks if he can close the damn hood yet. Boy I sure miss being in sales. 🤣
Did anyone notice the Taurus SHO parked just to the left of the black GT convertible?? An underrated performance sedan that even offered a 5-speed manual!
I was 2 years old in 93, but I remember going with my mom to the Ford dealership when I was 5, she got a new 95 Thunderbird with the V8, I loved that car!!
I traded in my 1986 GT that I ordered from the factory for a new 93 Teal Cobra, grey interior. 😁. Think 1300 or so teal ones were built. Later bought 99 then 2004 Cobras. 60 now, I don't like the new stangs, look like toys, maybe my age 🤭
i never got a mustang but i considered It, instead I bought a 91 ranger in 1996 used and it was a s-box always broke down. Eventually i got rid of it in dec of 1998 and traded it in for a brand new 99 ranger to this day i still have this vehicle. It was so much better than the 91 generation model and only broke down once in 20+ years
1994-1998 I was a young man in the USMC. I can't tell you how many new Mustangs I had seen at Camp Pendleton, California and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. I can still smell the 26% APR to this day those Marines got those Mustangs at 🤣🤣 From what I hear times haven't changed with Marines and Mustangs and the 26% APR 😂
@@theRyGuy523 We chewed the same dirt. I was at Lejeune from January 96 to April 98. Heck you probably seen me at the gates checking IDs and whatnot. I probably checked your ID 😅
I love when people look under the hood pretending they know what they’re looking at, and as if that’ll even make a difference in their decision to buy the car 😂
No they weren’t! If you do the math it would be as unaffordable as today! Inflation every year made it more and more expensive, so if you bought a $14,000 car then, and do the math of what $14,000 dollars was in today’s dollars you would flip! It would have cost you $29,830 today. And that was only for a plain Jane car without any options! And peoples salary wasn’t that high back then, average yearly salary at a good paying job was around 26-50 thousand a year. Depending on the profession!
I remember going to the Ford dealership buying my first new car back in 1994 a '94 Escort I was 18. Great video bringing back memories. I just became a new subscriber today.
My brother returned from Alaska fishing w $50k in '93. He wanted to buy a car so he went from dealership to dealership and was treated rudely by everyone. They didn't know he had cash. They thought he was a bum

In 1986 22 years old I brought my first new car. It was a Mustang and I felt on top of the world, that is until the payments came in at the end of the month along with insurance bill. Lesson learned but at 59 I drive Challenger and I still crank up Metallica, AC/DC and Rush with my grandchildren in the back. It's a blast, never too old.

No, not these cars you couldn't. Not even close and I can guaranty you no one shopping at Tyson's Ford in these videos are working for minimum wages. This is one of the richest areas of the country then and even more so now. I lived there just 5 years later and the average home price in that area back in 1999 was near $500,000.
@christschool He's not talking this specific area you 🤡 he's saying in general there were plenty of cars you could buy on minimum wage. Now you can barely afford to ride the bus on minimum wage let alone ever save money for a car.
LMAO I made minimum wage ($4.25) in 1992. I was driving a 25 year old bug with 190K on it. I never would have dreamed of buying a new car - even a geo metro on those wages.

I love it when the sales manager pulls out the n a d a book trying to bring these people's trade-in value down and they're all engaged chewing gum looking down at the book like they're a couple of cows chewing the cud.
🤣🤣🤣
My Buddy bought a beautiful 94 mustang,got the engine replaced,then parked it in 2007,it's been sitting ever since.
The interiors are so beautiful,even today velour still looks amazing in cars.
Old school cars are the best! They don’t make them like they used to! Take care and love your amazing machines!
Don't look at the past through rose colored glasses. Cars made since 2010 are much more reliable than those from the early 90s
When America still built cars.
America builds 10M+ cars a year, no other country does more other than China.
I believe, most cars are still built in the U.S.A., and GM is still building the best cars on earth.
Other than the F-150 and Corvette...ngh...
@@user-Dr. gm built in Mexico
@@80glk5 Nope, but good guess.
That cringe moment when customers are staring in the engine bay of a brand new car without question or comment, the sales lady with two-tone shoes that look mismatched from the side awkwardly points out the shiny horse, and the sales guy asks if he can close the damn hood yet. Boy I sure miss being in sales. 🤣
She was “the closer” sent in as the saleman was fumbling around.
I was like what the hell are they staring at . I felt sorry for the black lady 🤦
@@KingIstvan We had a few leggy closers back when I was selling cars in 1990's.
She said you need to drive it with top down... But it was a hard top. 😂
her power word was AWESOME
I love these videos people has class and weren’t afraid to work and be social ❤
This is terrifying to me…. I was 20 but this seems so ancient. So long ago…. Omg.
ah exactly the same here, I turn 50 next week, Happy 50th to you whenever it falls.
@@carlbentley80Happy 50th as
Well!
Did anyone notice the Taurus SHO parked just to the left of the black GT convertible?? An underrated performance sedan that even offered a 5-speed manual!
That aero crown vic in the showroom at 4:55 😍
I was 2 years old in 93, but I remember going with my mom to the Ford dealership when I was 5, she got a new 95 Thunderbird with the V8, I loved that car!!
Take me back so I can buy a new 93 cobra. Teal with black cloth.
I traded in my 1986 GT that I ordered from the factory for a new 93 Teal Cobra, grey interior. 😁. Think 1300 or so teal ones were built. Later bought 99 then 2004 Cobras. 60 now, I don't like the new stangs, look like toys, maybe my age 🤭
I was born in 93. I wish I could go back as an adult and buy the black Crown Victoria seen in the show room. That’s a man’s car.
i never got a mustang but i considered It, instead I bought a 91 ranger in 1996 used and it was a s-box always broke down. Eventually i got rid of it in dec of 1998 and traded it in for a brand new 99 ranger to this day i still have this vehicle. It was so much better than the 91 generation model and only broke down once in 20+ years
Guy pretending to know what he’s looking at under the hood to impress his woman was funny
1994-1998 I was a young man in the USMC. I can't tell you how many new Mustangs I had seen at Camp Pendleton, California and Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. I can still smell the 26% APR to this day those Marines got those Mustangs at 🤣🤣 From what I hear times haven't changed with Marines and Mustangs and the 26% APR 😂
I was stationed at MTS, Lejeune 93-97. I owned a 93 Z28 back then. Those were the days.
@@theRyGuy523 We chewed the same dirt. I was at Lejeune from January 96 to April 98. Heck you probably seen me at the gates checking IDs and whatnot. I probably checked your ID 😅
With current Fed Interest Hike, them rates are here to stay
@@Chinunit22 I guess I was one of the lucky ones at 16.99% hahaha
@tbob Wouldn't surprise me, man. Small friggin' world. Ooh Rah, Devil Dog 😆
Had a 2000 Ford Mustang that I bought from my Uncle Dave because he couldn’t keep up with the payments. One of the best vehicles I ever had.
I turned graduated from high school and 18 in ‘93. I can’t believe that that was 30 years ago! Wowww!
Same here. Life goes by fast
My first car was a ‘94 mustang just like that one. Mine was Laser Red though. Loved it so much.
Keep these coming !!
that turquoise mustang at 3:50 was a brand new 1994 model
0:33 The power steering pump whine on that Mustang 🤣
Don't forget the squeaky ball joints on ALL Fords of that era 🤣
I love seeing vehicles that are beaters today, back when they were brand new.
I love when people look under the hood pretending they know what they’re looking at, and as if that’ll even make a difference in their decision to buy the car 😂
I’ve had 5 Mustangs. 3 SN95’s and 2 New Edge’s, 2 were V6, and 3 were 8. Only 2 of them were automatics.
In those days you weren't looking at a mortgage level car loan
Back when cars were actually affordable and you can buy extra packages to your car and still would be affordable
No they weren’t! If you do the math it would be as unaffordable as today! Inflation every year made it more and more expensive, so if you bought a $14,000 car then, and do the math of what $14,000 dollars was in today’s dollars you would flip! It would have cost you $29,830 today. And that was only for a plain Jane car without any options! And peoples salary wasn’t that high back then, average yearly salary at a good paying job was around 26-50 thousand a year. Depending on the profession!
Everyone walking by that used 911 to get to that shiny new Mustang GT, not knowing that today that 911 is worth 4 times the mustang.
I remember going to a car dealership with my parents as a kid around this same time (it was either 93 or 94), and my dad buying a new car.
I remember going to the Ford dealership buying my first new car back in 1994 a '94 Escort I was 18. Great video bringing back memories. I just became a new subscriber today.
Thank you Jamie 😃
As a salesperson this was awesome to watch! Even though I was 4 at the time lol
Awesome video… I miss these days very much.
It's hard to believe that I was 9 years old in 1993, but I remember what cars looked like then.
I can't believe I was 27 years old in 1993. Fast 30 yrs.
My brother returned from Alaska fishing w $50k in '93. He wanted to buy a car so he went from dealership to dealership and was treated rudely by everyone. They didn't know he had cash. They thought he was a bum
Wow I cant believe 1993 was 30 years ago, I was 6, were did the time go? They made some of the best cars in that generation. Still see them on the road today.
You won't see that happening much more often. These EV's barely are lasting 5 years without needing a full battery replacement.
@@augere9620 That’s not true for the vast majority of EVs - unless you’re driving over 100k miles in 5 years. EV car batteries last 100k to 200k miles, 15-20 years.
@@AdamsBrew78 false. I talked to multiple EV owners and a lot of these Tesla's batteries are being replaced 3-4 years in. I'm talking about the X and S not the base model 3's. The vehicle is basically worthless after it has a warranty battery replacement.
@@AdamsBrew78 your phone battery doesn't last 2 years let alone 10 to 15. What makes you think the same battery technology will last am extra 13 years?
@@augere9620 Google my figure and read all the testing and literature backing it up before you scream “false” over a couple personal anecdotes.
Car dealers are right down there with journalists as the most despicable individuals in our society.
I was 16 in 93. Owning a mustang was only a dream back then.
In 1986 22 years old I brought my first new car. It was a Mustang and I felt on top of the world, that is until the payments came in at the end of the month along with insurance bill. Lesson learned but at 59 I drive Challenger and I still crank up Metallica, AC/DC and Rush with my grandchildren in the back. It's a blast, never too old.
1.12$ a gallon at AMOCO……WOW!
I bet the guy at the end regretted that Mustang once a 6 speed Trans Am blew his doors off.
lol.... the comment "i heard the 6 speeds were having problems" and "they are too big, i have a Eagle Talon" funny, that talon if a turbo would have walked that mustang...
YES!!
11:16 says "dual air bags" like it was common at that time. Bought a Golf in '95 because it was only car in that price range with that feature
You know the finance guy is full of shit . The dealership will say anything just to make a sale and we fall for it every time.
I had the 93 red Mustang, when the 94s came out with the new body style it instantly made my 93 look old. 😢😂
In my opinion the 93 will always look better than anything that’s come after it.
U crazy lol 88-93 are my favorite mustangs .

@@ericwatts6291 i had that combo on a 92 from 03-05. The one i most regret selling
All time still exists. Accessing it is the tricky part.
I never cared about this times in the 90s but now seeing it in 2023, i actually kinda miss it, no social media, no ego shit, just plain n simple human to human interactions which is non existent nowadays
I think many of us share that sentiment …
Spot on! I totally agree
These were the good old days & they arent ever coming back !!! Sad but true
The year I was born in, fingerless gloves need to be cool again.
I wanted to yell "buy the fox body and hold on to it"!
'93 was the first year of the smoother looking Ranger, the previous year was very squared off..
That’s a nice 1993 F-Series.👌
I recall in second grade around Halloween 1993 I had a teacher. named Mr ward he seemed to be a star trek fan around Halloween 1993 he had a Halloween costume of star trek. At Roosevelt elementary masks were not allowed due to impairment of vision . I recall my mother bought me face paint for Halloween.
back when you could buy a car on minimum wage
No, not these cars you couldn't. Not even close and I can guaranty you no one shopping at Tyson's Ford in these videos are working for minimum wages. This is one of the richest areas of the country then and even more so now. I lived there just 5 years later and the average home price in that area back in 1999 was near $500,000.
@christschool He's not talking this specific area you 🤡 he's saying in general there were plenty of cars you could buy on minimum wage. Now you can barely afford to ride the bus on minimum wage let alone ever save money for a car.
I bet, because all the vehicles are ugly from back then.... I was born in 1995
@@ShawnA3104 those "ugly cars" also ran very well and were long lasting 💁🏾♂️
LMAO I made minimum wage ($4.25) in 1992. I was driving a 25 year old bug with 190K on it. I never would have dreamed of buying a new car - even a geo metro on those wages.
I'll bet that's their very first shipment of the 94 Mustangs. Good deals to be had on the 93 fox bodies.
Back when they gave out fancy brochures before the web was a thing..
Wow! It was still fun times in 1993! None of us even thought we'd see an electric Mustang Mach-E! _(4/2/2023)_
Brotha came up to dealership playing NO GAMES, with the fingerless gloves 😭 In that v6 Mustang you couldn't tell bro nothing 😂😂😂
