Favourite Automotive Adverts: 1960 Ford
However man, this was not at all times the case. Take for instance the wonderful three-minute Ford masterpiece shared beneath. This advert, which appeared as a part of tv exhibits in 1959 and 1960 has a distinctly Disney high quality to it. By all means, watch the advert earlier than studying additional.
I’m most amused by the folks in gala gown awaiting the arrival of brand-new Fords from the sky. Additionally, I’m impressed that not a single party-goer appeared apprehensive about being crushed by an airborne Ford.
As foolish and fantastic as this advert is, there are two very-big items of reports right here. First, for the first-time ever, your complete full-size Ford lineup shares a single identify: Galaxie. Secondly, Ford’s first compact automotive, the Falcon, makes its debut on this advert.
It’s possible that the massive Fords got a single lineup identify to keep away from confusion with the brand new Falcon lineup. The Word additionally, the Thunderbird, which might be redesigned for 1961, is proven solely from the rear, the automotive’s most distinctive angle.

The totally orchestrated soundtrack to this advert can also be a hoot. Take heed to the lyrics and also you’ll study:
These automobiles are “…the best new Fords of a lifetime.”
The Thunderbird is “…the best of high quality automobiles.”
And the Falcon is “…the simplest new automotive on this planet to personal.”
On a private word, I significantly doubt the wealthy-looking people depicted on this advert have been in any means within the Falcon. Even on this advert the automotive appears to be like like a value particular, with its painted white wheels and black sidewall tires. Until, a few of these partygoers have been in search of a 3rd automotive for the youngsters.
