Description of Ford Mustang "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."

Pinto, maverick are junk

1960s commercials are better than anything Hollywood can produce today.
ScottW
That's because it was mostly white European Americans creating the content.
@@watershed44 That wasn't true even back then, racist incel.
And others. Stealing these cars. From. Malls
Give me a time machine. I would return to those years any day..
2023 Sucks!
"Choose from *SIX* V8s!!!?? What a time that was to be alive!
You could blow the doors off another family and leave them in the dust on the highway!
It sure WAS a great time!
*And to think Ford made several other V8s that were not in that line up~Like the 427 SOHC (Cammer)~The 427 side oiler~429 Super Cobra Jet~The Boss 429 are some that they made at that time that come to mind*
@@wildbutterflytiedye ,
There were cars that were never advertised because of the horsepower, yes, it was the good ole days.
big block & small block v8s were available untill about 1979 in Ford vehicles!!
Yes! My Dad had a black with white stripes 1969 Ford Torino GT with a 428 Super CJ Ram-Air engine! I love that car! I was Three years old at the time. He had an accident in it in 1971 and total the car! I crying for a week when they told me what happened! That car reminds me of my family going to Daytona Beach Florida in the late 60’s and early 70’s! I miss my Dad, Mother and that car they are all gone now. I will love them forever! It still hurts. Leonard Walton Jr. 😢🙏
It was a really great time to be alive !!! So glad i grew up in that era !!! Thank God !!!!!!!!!🙏🙏✌✌✌
Loved the "The Graduate" throwback commercial.
Yep...& I COMPLETELY MISSED how often they hit the "Laugh-In" theme, & only used Arte Johnson's "signature line" from that show ONCE!
Ahhhh, so refreshing. A time before we became a cesspool.
Truth
@Steve Acho DIEversity is the thing in America today and it rots.
It would be refreshing if old people could enjoy the past without feeling the need to $hlt on the present.
@@richsackett3423 Men can compete in Women"s sports, people need "safe places" , everybody is a 'victim" most men can't even change a tire.... it's pretty $hity my friend. And...I'm not old.
@@benjaminharold5154 You should check out some of the recent Loser-in-Chief's Safe Space Loserpalooza deranged ramblings for his perpetually-frightened perceptually-aggrieved cult members. Have you watched Tucker today to tell you what to be afraid of?
I can change a tire, rebuild a transmission AND know spelling and grammar. OMG you are so old. No young person would consider you young. Who are you kidding. Only old people fall for all that Faux News culture war BS.
LMMFAO at the 1st one!!!
Coyote couldn't get the Roadrunner but the Cobra DID!!! 😂👍
Love “The Graduate” spoof they did there and it even looks like the same church used in the movie!
I wouldn’t be surprised if it was the same church, but the spoof is a little campy (but funny) for them to sell a car from.
Weird looking church, in both cases.
I’d love to see current car commercials filmed like this. It just seemed like they were trying to sell cars back then, not politics. Great times.
First time to see Arty Johnson in Ages! He was one of the original cast members on "Laugh-In". Funny guy.
Yeah, and the one that borrowed the laugh-in format, popping in n out of those cubby holes
Very interesting
Arte
I love the blatant rip-off of the Graduate @ 2:01. Ford tells you, "not only do you get the pretty girl, but you also get the steal her from someone else". So much testosterone. Love it.
Today they would be sued stupid and regulators would be claiming the ad was sexist and the media would claim it was toxic.
Again, that was the "Good old days'. lol
The music is even purposefully similar to "Mrs. Robinson".
Well, yeah, that's the whole point. But as a life-long Alfa owner, and Mike Nichols fan, I'm incensed that they would dare compare this long-forgotten lump of Detroit iron to the revolutionary Alfa Duetto. And in the film, Ben and Elaine left on a bus.
And I thinks it's the actual church used in the movie...
Love seeing these commercials! I'm a proud owner of a 68 Fairlane.
1968fordman Lacey
Wow, my Dad used to own a 1968 Fairlane two door sedan style white paint, blue vinyl/cloth seats, with a six he bought brand new from Future Ford in Wilmington Delaware!. I think it was a base model, but it was still a really nice car and drove very well too! It was an automatic though, he needed to buy that so my Mom could drive it, she wasn't driving a manual car. Could you get that base model with a manual trans?
@@watershed44 awesome. My mom bought mine brand new in Denver in May 1968. It was her first new car and is a base model too. It's lime gold with white vinyl top and interior and has the 289 with auto trans. I'm sure you could get one with a manual. The 6 cyl probably got the 3 speed manual.
Better to see 'hilarious' commercials than being bombarded by ominous threatening health insurance, funeral and deadly prescription commercials of today.
Great comment! The commercials on most TV shows I watch are just as you describe them.
I like the fact commercials today have no pale people. Looking forward to 2024 when commercials won't contain any English-speaking people.
@@objectivereality5613 Nonsense. There's usually one of each demographic to appeal to the most potential customers.
Adverts are purely about making money.
@@peterpiper5064 LOL
If only you realized what your moniker did to your post.
@@objectivereality5613 LOL. If only you realised what your actual post did to your post...
Following nonsense with gibberish cements your stupidity, never mind your ironical moniker 😅
I miss the days when car companies were competitive, and the designs changed each year. Today most cars look alike, and yearly changes are light refreshes of grill changes, or new infotainment systems. Loved the commercials - some of the best ad men & women of that day were at work. Sure some were cheesy, but it was fun.
Some cars are pretty much exactly the same except for the taillights, headlights and badge.
Drastic model changes each year and not focusing on improving engine technology on cheaper cars is what led America to be blindsided by import cars post 1973
@@ShaiyanHossain You're forgetting the impact of OPEC & the gas shortage in driving american car buyers to smaller, cheaper cars. Some import cars did change regularly, look at Toyota & Nissan.
Rose colored glasses... many muscle cars were just the same car slightly rebadged. Cars today are boring because America got fat and now only buys trucks with cupholders.
@@truantray ....Not trying to be a dick here but I was trying to think of let's say 70's muscles cars that looked the same except for minor changes and of course the badge. What models would you consider the same?
That "German" at 6:53 was Arte Johnson playing one of his famous characters from the hit TV show Laugh In which aired in the late 60s.
I remember these commercials. A simpler time.
Being a mechanic and growing up in those days working on those cars back then we’re great and seeing the tv ads masked me long for those days again. Good times until the gas shortage in the 70s
There was never a gasoline shortage. We are still consuming billions of gallons of gasoline 50 years later. Our government was fukn the American people.
@@22kpar1xcyberdyne9 Was? We've seen nothing yet, 100 days into the Jotato Xi Buy'd in administration and they're openly destroying our once great nation...
Yep...nobody b!tched about American cars until the Fake Gas shortage, then Fake News steered everyone to buy all the Japanese cars that were conveniently being dumped on American shores at the same exact time. What they did not tell you was all the insider trading and investments that were being done and they were making hand over fists in cash on the selling of foreign cars as they tried to literally put Detroit out of business.
@@matrox Yep, and then a govt' based organization (EPA) ever so conveniently slapped design constraints on the V8 because they knew there was nothing in the drawing board able to overcome that big of an obstacle so quickly. The Malaysian manufacturers didn't steal the American automotive market, they were handed it on a silver platter.
@@SirEpifire Exactly!
I was 15 and learning to drive then, exciting times with all the muscle car choices in all the car brands.
We had a couple of 73 Torinos in my driver ed class.
@@kathiec1333 First car that I bought with my own money (~$500! IIRC) was a '71 Maverick. When it was stolen from my house, I bought a '73 Maverick. That car got me all the way from Chicago to Palo Alto, CA with just a single bolt holding the carburetor on (I didn't know that the others were missing, LOL)! Tough, dependable cars.
@@mklcolvin My neighbor had a 70 Maverick, she drove it for at least seven years, multiple trips to North Carolina and the paint gradually faded but it still ran well when she traded it in.
i remember a fellow dating one of my older sisters in 69 driving a gold 428 cobra ,, the sound that car made ..
I bet that sister made some lovely sounds in that car too
@@MrRiprip56 lmao
Damn that 1969 Mustang Mach I was one of the best looking cars, ever
If U Were Alive & 13, & Car Crazy in 1969 .... Not Only Are These Commercials Not Hilarious. THEY'RE WONDERFUL.
You know whats a joke... Everything today.
Yup.
I was 13 in '69, I wish it was 1969 again.
I was born in 66 & also agree these commercials are def not hillarious .
Their Groovy !
And if you were 16 or older and car crazy in 1969, these were hokey as hell.
My parents loved their Maverick. We also had a Galaxie 500 and an LTD. The Galaxie was a really neat car. It wasn't fast off the line like cars now, but once you got to 70 it started to breath and I remember sitting in that cavernous back seat while my Dad "gave it the beans". Fun times.
Only had what
165 million people in America then
The roads were virtually empty
Thanks for the memories
-and that's why my 68 Torino GT came with 4 wheel non boosted drums.
By the 90's I had to install boosted front disks: it was getting mighty tense at stoplights!
U.S. had 200 million people
@@ShinyRedGrapple
180 mega in 1969
We never kept our highways up.
The issue is not that 326 million people live in America today. It is the fact that regulations have meant that nothing new gets built.
There have been no new cities developed nor has manufacturing and innovation been allowed to continue to develop the economy.
So it has meant that people have been flocking to the same cities and towns that existed in 1969 and those areas have not been developed to deal with the population increases.
Back when you would actually own your car before it needed a brake job.
And can work on it yourself. Now even the Maverick has gone up in collection car value.
Before wheel bearings go out at exactly 60,001 miles (Looking at you Jeep...)
I paid cash for a 67 Mustang.
and it would be a race between a brake job and the body turning to rust before your eyes
@@PrivateEyeYiYi
Median income in the late 1960s American was near to $10000 and a 1967 and a standard Mustang Coupe started at $2500.
Superb commercials! And the last of the swinging/groove 60s bygone era! A fan and admire of muscle cars from Pakistan!!
Good to hear from you brother ✌
Hello to Pakistan from a brother car admirer in Florida, USA!
It's cool to know that American cars are loved around the world
@@travisjohns744 Very true! And mainly because each has its own charm and personality to it!
I never knew Pakistan made muscle cars.
Brought back lots of memories...both the CARS, & seeing ARTE JOHNSON in the Maverick bits, in the role that made him FAMOUS for a bit on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In!! ❤🎉🤣
But "Love At First Bite" was still the best thing he ever did. (as Renfield)
I was 9 years old in '69, and my cousin bought a '69 Torino GT with a 351. Man, was that a cool car in my young eyes!
same here, born in 60. we had a 69' country squire wagon. it was b i g.
Still is
@@johntiffault6278 beat me too it
351 cleveland? thats a real motor- a real barking monster
Early 90's i restored a 1971 Maverick Grabber with an EFI 302..... The Grabbers in 1971 and 1972 Were good looking cars.
These were great years for sport muscle cars! I miss the 60’s and 70’s a lot.
I was 5 years old when all this was going on. All these commercials were in black and white for my family, lol. I have always loved the Torino/ Ltds from this time period but my favorite cars are the Mercury's from this era, I still remember the Mercury commercials " only at the sign of the cat." Beautiful Cougar laying on the Mercury sign. I have owned many Cougars and Cyclones Comets Montegos LTDs and Torinos. Those were good days and a great time to grow up in, could even buy a popsicle off the ice cream truck for a couple of pennies. We have lost so much..........
I do think my friends 71 Cyclone GT was one bad set of wheels. 351 C fast but heavy. I wonder who owns one now. They don’t build them like that today.
@@carriewatkins313 yes they are a bit heavy but stay tight on the road and for a muscle car they ride nice. The 351 Cleveland is a stout motor, I had a 1970 Montego brougham with hideaway headlights the triple taillights bucket seats and a 351 Cleveland 4bbl polished and ported small cam and bigger valves. They guy before me took the automatic out and put in a 3 speed stick on the floor but it was burnt out and I put a big C-6 automatic back in it, that car could haul the mail. Its funny/strange but I own a 1987 4x4 Ford and it has its original 351 Cleveland HO 4bbl with a C-6 automatic and the old style hand locking hubs, I looked up the build plate and the guy ordered it that way from the factory in Kansas city. She has 218 thousand miles and still runs like a champ and doesn't burn any oil. I have owned 6 Cleveland motors and liked every one of them. Wish I could have seen your friends Cyclone.
If I were rich, and had my choice of ANYTHING to drive, it would be a first gen.('67, '68) Mercury Cougar.
@@kevinwilson9589 my 3rd car was a 1968 Cougar XR 7 with sequential taillights black leather interior wood steering wheel all factory gauges and a 351 Windsor. I still miss that car all these years later.
@@randallbates9020 That's both happy, because you had one and sad because of your loss. To me, the most beautiful car ever made. I heard the sequential taillights would malfunction over time, but a new electronic replacement was made to mimic the original circuitry. So many great body styles made that year, but to me the Cougar was the best.
1969.. Vietnam War was in full swing. I was 10 years old. Asked my dad if the war is still going when I get to be 18 would I have to go? He said.. Yes!
Thank the lord you didn't go...😇
I was 9 and since the war was going on my whole life, I was worried that I was going to go too.
@@jamesdellaneve9005 man what a horrible thing to have hanging over your head. Thank god it as all over by your late teens
Nice father you had. Mine said I go to bed with no suppa.
That war is the only part of the 60’s I don’t miss. The cars and the music haven’t been anywhere near as awesome since.
I had a 1973 Maverick .It was still going strong when I gave it away at 638,000 miles
Seriously? What year did you get rid of it?
Nope
Really? A Maverag, I mean seriously, the Mavewreck, did that??
@@bzbzob hush child, you know not what you speak... Maverick Grabber w/302 boss motor would make you pee your pants back then! Google it...
@@amjrpain919 just a 302-2v no Boss 302 in a Maverick
Well it's settled! I'm gonna go buy a new Maverick right now with the 170 engine and 3 on the tree!
Don't get one with a vinyl roof cause it will rot right out! :)
I would love one of those today.
@Amplass 333 Was he referring to Australian builds? Most US models every make, the roof was left unpainted before the vinyl was applied.
@Amplass 333 Oh. Australia! We can't all be lucky enough to live in a place as dry as that...
@@thisisyourcaptainspeaking2259 Didn't know about that but that's absolutely terrible!.. I prefer to have as little trim as possible on a car cause it's a place moisture could get trapped under. Especially around a vinyl roof! I don't like fender skirts either cause they help trap a cloud of moisture in the wheel well.
*428* !!!
All you need to say right there.
(BTW, the "Bird" in case you didn't know, is the Plymouth Road Runner)
This is a great flash back.. This video also happens to have dropped on 4/30/21. which is the 52nd birthday to our 1969 428 Super Cobra Jet.. My father bought it new and we still have it.. Love seeing the old commercial for it! Thanks for posting!
@Tom Dee sad day indeed
My friend still has a 1968 Mustang that his mother in law bought new. Not as nice as the 1969, but cool. It looked rough when I first saw it, but you should see it now!
@@kevinmontgomery1383 love to hear it! My father made sure my first car was a Mustang.. 1967 Coupe. He restored it with me.. Unfortunately it was totaled years later.. Ours was so bad when we got it...
@@johnv9854 That is so awesome, that you got to restore it with your father!
@Daniel Rodriguez not planning on it. Maybe if the value gets to be like the Shelbys I’d consider it.. but that’s not gonna happen anytime soon..
When cars was built to last and built strong.and easy to work on.
Yup my Cyclone has never broke down in 9 years I’ve owned it!
Great! A snapshot of the late 1960s.
I was 5 years old when Ford’s ‘69 fastback models hit the market. I remember seeing one for the first time in a parking lot as my older brother talked to the owner whom he knew. I don’t know the specific model, but as they talked about the car, I looked it over inside and out and loved it.
When cars had style AND power. As a teen, my favorite was the Mercury Cyclone GT. A sexy beast!
Such cool and funny commercials! Gotta love the 60's, if we could only go back and snatch up some of the cars and bring them back with us!!!!!
I bet the same guy that wrote the song for ON ANY SUNDAY movie with Steve McQueen wrote these commercial tunes. They got that feel-good vibe you know man it's like groovy. Hey I'm 61 I still say boss and gnarly!
Mike Such
Spot on friend! "feel-good vibe"! You just do NOT see this kind of thing in modern advertising, and if you see anything approximating it, it's very forced and heavy handed too.
WHEN CARS WERE CARS! AMERICAN BUILT MUSCLE!👍
"Mrs. Robinson....I think you're trying to seduce me with this running Cobra Jet mill!"
Yeah, that was a nice spoof. Sure beats an Alfa Romeo 😏
It was a alfa Romeo spider, but I dig your enthusiasm!😎💯👍
@@amjrpain919 My brother owns an '86 Spyder and that car, with only 20,000 miles on it was, and is, a piece of junk. I used it for a month in the early 90s and had a u-joint break, followed by the muffler hanger breaking. Mechanic at the Alfa dealer said we should stock up on u-joints as they were (are?) notorious for breaking.
All that said, my brother still has it, just sitting (with a cracked exhaust manifold) wasting away with less than 30,000 miles. It must hold some sentimental value for him 🤷♂️
Lol
@@LeopoldoNotarianni-rk9vv "One word: Plastics."
I had a 1969 428 Cobrajet Mach1, still have dreams of it and i'm 70 yrs old
You have good taste in cars my friend!
The 1969 Ford Cobra sold for $3000 brand new, today they sell for over $30,000 to $50,000.
But the average salary was around 20k or less. $3k was "expensive". As a kid, I remember the ads where the car was $1800 brand new 😎
I know. You could literally buy any luxury car for 3,500 or less. With all options. Man what a time.
Mavericks were great for 10 second runs in the Quarter Mile. One of the best bracket racing rides ever.
Wish those days would come back
We have all the parts and entire shells for the Mustangs now. Those days partly have come back! :)
What happened to, Ford? How cool were they!? Every car they made in the 60s was a classic!
That could be said of any of the big 3
Today’s Mustang is worthy. So was the Focus, which unfortunately is no more.
SUV ‘culture’ has swallowed up nearly all of American auto production.
Having come from a two Maverick family I'm not sure I agree.
Thank OPEC AND RALPH NADER...🤬
@@amjrpain919 actually yeah. You do realize, don’t you, that the ‘constraints’ of the 1970s ultimately resulted in cars with far better performance.
Great memories….my da worked as a salesman at a Ford dealership from ‘67-‘70…got to ride in all the hot rods they were producing…the Boss 429 ‘69 Mustang was a badass machine
not nearly as much power as the 351C 4-barrel. the 429 motor was a cheap shortcut
I LOVED it! As always - Ford commercials are classy! LOVE YOU FORD!
RockandRoll
Indeed they really seem fresh even today with that catchy music. Not many other car ads from the time hold up as well. But I really like the upbeat positive angle in them, back when the USA believed it could accomplish anything.
1:20 Guy - "The power anchors are caliper discs."
Girl - "For the last time Larry, I'm not f*cking you."
"It's bad for my mill if we don't"
I really loved those '69 Ford commercials and I miss our '69 LTD.
My Dad bought a new 1969 LTD. Black with a black vinyl top and black vinyl interior . 390-2 barrel. Automatic, PS, PB, and *no air conditioning!* Talk about a hot car in the Southern summer sun! He always said LTD meant Lincoln Trimmed Down.
Great commercial music of the time. Really groovy and now yet Madison Avenue-ready.
Nothing Hilarious here. No cell phones. Respect for all. No High Tech, Not told what is acceptable....Must I go on. Great post!
"High-tech?!" Our dads' generation put men on the MOON without all that horse💩 that gets passed off as "technology" today...AND with the "old school," you could make RELUABLE PHONE CALLS just about EVERY TIME! 😂😂😂
Glass headlights that would never fog up.
What I would give to have Ford start producing these again
The days of 10 mpg and 35 cents a gallon lol
Adjusted for inflation 35 cents in 1969 would be $2.57 in todays money. *you're welcome*
A fabulous vintage. Dad had the 69 Fairlane sports roof 428CJ with top loader. Beast.
Ahh, 1969, I was a senior in high school and I bought a new 1969 red Mustang. I wish I still had that Mustang.
Bought a brand new car when still in high school? Must be nice. I had to resurrect an old junker and make do with that while I saved my pennies.

@@rael5469 Rich? I had been saving money for a few years, I was 17 when I bought it.
@@agm6095 "Rich? I had been saving money for a few years, I was 17 when I bought it."
I think you are the exception, not the rule. I never knew of any high school senior who bought a brand new car. Then or now. In my town I knew of some parents who bought their little precious a VW or a Datsun to go off to college in. But I never new anyone who bought a brand new car straight out of high school. Good for you if you were able to do that. Congratulations. Sincerely. In any case I enjoy the topic of the old cars. I love them too. Most of them. Not the foreign cars.
Arte Johnson from laugh in
Home boy called brakes "Power Anchers"
... AND THE COBRA SAID TO THE ROADRUNNER..."BEEP BEEP YOUR ASS"🤫
Ford must have been a sponsor for "Laugh In" in the late 60's
In fact, they *were*…and while they weren't the first to do "tie-ins" with popular TV shows and personalities, for the time period I think they did it with a bit more flair (and humor, particularly with their Maverick spots) than others.
I just now see in 2020,2021 that the replays of Streets of San Francisco and Jack Lords Hawaii Five o was a big Ford Promotion also and the whole cast in the shows drove Fords,, I am a Chevy Guy but Love them Fords too. Steve in Australia
It was trendy
Back when you could move and travel anywhere you wanted with a little hard work
@Amplass 333 thank you,I’m surprised someone else understood what I was trying to say
Back when Ford still made cars.
So by “You” you mean “Some”. Because in 1969, not “everyone” could move and travel where they wanted, freely. Let’s not re-write history.
@@jamestokyo877 Of course not everyone but if for some reason you’re trying to say how poor and helpless you think black people where than just say so, but I know at least in my city, quite a few friends who’s family members worked hard at jobs that are not longer there, that allowed them to be strongly middle class, own homes, go on vacation, and pass something on and send there kids to college.

A very exciting time to be a car nut. I remember it as a kid.
But I also like the current line-up of American muscle. The new Mustang's, Camaro's, Challenger and Charger, are all surpassing the performance benchmark's set by these cars. I love classic cars, and nothing is as cool as driving one to a cruise event. I have owned and worked on a lot of these cars thru my teen years. It is amazing to me how many powertrain combo's were available back then. Rarely were their 2 cars exactly alike. No anti-lock brakes, usually no power brakes(!), sometimes no power steering, no traction, just raw, loud and lopey sounds. Hahaha.
I feel fortunate to have witnessed the muscle car era from the 60's thru now. No better time to be alive!
Love these old commercials by Ford, heck I love all those old car commercials. Today cars are nothing but a computer with 4 wheels
@CCC. AWESOME VIDEOS. Thanks for posting and sharing Tim
ALL of those cars were nice. Even the MAVERICK.
WE’RE IN DIFFERENT TIMES TODAY.

A friend of mine had a Maverick 6banger with the bigger 6. He had his hopped up with headers. It was a 3 speed manual on the floor. Had mag wheels and all. This was in the late 70s. I was never impressed with Mavericks. One day I rode with him somewhere in it, and damn, I was actually impressed. That car had some punch as he was banging the gears. Since then I gained respect. And I had a 69 RoadRunner at the time.
I graduated high school in 1969 when cars were at the forefront of my interests. Dad didn't help when he bought a new 1968 GTO HO. ;-)
Ever let you borrow it??
@@painkillerjones6232 Drove it high school a couple of times. We had to replace the right rear axle twice because it somehow got twisted (bent). :-)
My first car was a 1968 GTO. 400 V8, turbo-hydramatic trans, Hidden headlights, hood tach, Verdero green.
Love the reference to the movie “The Graduate” in the Torino commercial. :)
"The power anchors are caliper discs!" Mmmm, okay....
"This one eats birds for breakfast" hahaha I love it! It took a moment to get the reference though.
Today there would be protests accusing them of animal cruelty.
@@bighands69 those people would explode if they saw the commercial with the German soldier
Excellent commercial lineup! I remember them well. Thanks!
69 was the best year for muscle cars imo
thanks for a trip down memory lane--better days to me back then
Cobra eats birds for breakfast
I see what you did there
Looks like a groovy California rake job!!
Indeed!!
& now we have terms like snowflake, Karen , homophobic, & so on.
Thanks for sharing this!
How funny is it that a commercial for the Torino would be a parody of the movie The Graduate
Even the music track is a plagiarism.
which came first? I thought the very VERY same thing the music even,,,,?
And the one with the use of Laugh in as a commercial. The younger generation wouldn't make these connection's looking at these today.
@@MrRiprip56 Are you suggesting The Graduate is based on a ford commercial? hehehe
@@simaojoseph I find it interesting that the music even makes me think of the graduate,,dont really care enough to look it up tho,,why dont you and tell me,,,Hell the guy looks like Dustin Hoffman,,,,glass hair time period,,,,have fun
Been looking for the 70 Maverick "Nope" commercial for years....
The good old days.
When just the engine under the hood weighed more than an entire modern vehicle does.
The 70/71 Maverick 302 grabbers where just a poor man's mustang lol
When young people could afford new cars.
"When young people could afford new cars."
Speak for yourself. I drove used cars for ten years before I bought a new one.
My son did but he chose a good career over going to college. Yeah learn welding and get into the iron workers . With no debt
Back when young kids weren’t lazy.
Heck 1995 usd is someone's car payment today for piece of shit cars. 90 thousand for a new Cadillac Escalade. Dumb folks just dumb.Wake the fuck up.
When young people worked.
Love the "Laugh In " tie in
Very interesting!
But stupid.
I had to do some research to find out what year Nicholas Cage was born cuz I swore that was him driving that red Torino! 🤣
They should have used Frank Gorshin the Riddler in some of these commercials. Classic 😂
I love the commercials from yesteryear. Nowadays, commercials suck. They try to be funny but today s humor is dumb and everything is politically correct.
Slapstick.
I was thinking that while watching the Nazi lampoon commercial here. Nowadays people would call Ford "literal Nazis" for having a fake one on screen for any reason whatsoever. The word Nazi has lost all meaning for people.
Too serious today. In these commercials it seems they are not afraid to have a little fun. Too afraid of offending the audience today. Ford would be called sexist Nazis, laugh out loud.
@@jokerzwild00 so true! The word Nazi has been thrown around so much. Definitely lost its meaning
@@Kgio-2112 the meaning is still the same as it always was, hate
"This one eats 'birds' for breakfast." Uh huh.
Remember every one of these cars when they came out.
When cars were works of art. The station wagon was very practical for hauling DIY items and luggage. Now? Forget it!
I love background músic, it is happynes. Ford cars since 1967 to 2007 were very American shapes. Now they look as Japanese or Korean designes, same for Chevrolet. I read that Ford will make SUVs only, not more cars never as before. They are locos!
Greetings from Santiago, Chile SouthAmerica.
@Amplass 333 It's hard to generalize. Ford is discontinuing car offerings for the USA -- except the mustang. European Fords are not sold in the USA any longer, and the Australian Fords seem to be entirely different as well.
@Amplass 333 I had a friend who was importing the Ford 351 heads from Australia in 1990s-- I always wanted an Australian Falcon because they had 4 doors and looked like a normal car. Ford in the States got boring after 1970 or so.
@Amplass 333
Modern cars in America look like cheap Asian cars there is not getting around that fact.
@Amplass 333- all the new cars look like wind-tunnel-tested jelly beans. Asian cars don't have 'more plastic' or 'shit' as you put it. their assembly lines and tooling were developed for them by us when we occupied japan- their assembly and fit and finish compare favorably to other products from other countries- including europe and australia. their methods are just like our methods, only more modern and efficient because we set them up with state-of-the-art infrastructure. any acura or lexus is screwed together better than anything we've seen from other countries including US, germany, and sweden. toyota, scion, and daihatsu (they still make cars under toyota) are better cars than anything from other countries. number one in asia, by far and, depending on who you ask, number one in the world- including volkswagen. and don't forget honda of japan. reminds me of the bicycle industry....
Narrator: "These cars have brakes."
People: "Wow! Brakes, you say?"
Those brakes did work unlike todays ABS Shit which does not.
I'm proud that was borm in 1969. Such a transformative year. No wonder I love Muscle Cars.
I was born in 67
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
1:01 Why did I have an urge to run when I saw them coming at me like that?
