  • Super Rare 1961 Ford Commercials [Restored to HD]
    Leading into the 1950s, Ford, along with many other top of the market car manufacturers were capitalizing on the post war boom. Many new advancements in technology and products were being developed during this time that allowed for cars going into the future to have features never seen before or features that were not normal until now. The automatic window, for example, was a new feature that made Americans see their current cars as outdated and technologically behind. The 1960s were one of the best eras for the production of cars, as the war between Ford and Chevrolet heated up and produced some of the most classic and recognizable cars in America still to this day.
    The mainstream full-sized Ford line of cars from 1960 to 1964 was now complemented by a variety of other Fords, including the Thunderbird and compact Falcon, and from 1962 the midsized Fairlane. So the mainline car grew even more, now riding on a 119 in (3023 mm) wheelbase. The engines were carried over from the 1959 Ford, as was the basic chassis design, but the sheetmetal was modern. The retracting Skyliner hardtop was gone, though the Sunliner convertible remained, and the Fairlane name would last only two years before migrating to a new midsize model. {TAKEN FROM WIKI}

    =============================
    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 automobiles 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."
    Obviously, I do not own this content. I repost it as a ongoing museum and tribute, a testament to the greatest generation in automobile manufacturing history, EVER.

    My Dad had one of those 61 Falcons. We would be behind an 18 wheeler and when he went to pass the head wind would slow him down. He had it about 6 months and got a Fairlane 390 4/2. I loved that car. I think he bought tires every 6 months.

    The Falcon was certainly a cleaner design than the "compact" competition. My first car was a '61 Fairlane. Even though we got driver's ed in a '68 Galaxie, the Fairlane still seemed too big. I never owned anything bigger than a Falcon until '95. (well with the exception of a couple of "classics")

    …by mid-1960, the marketing execs realized that the sales success of the new compact Falcon held the promise of additional sales…while the ‘60 models were promoted as a no-frills bare bones economy car, for the ‘61’s, you could boost the power plant; and additional chrome trim made this year’s model far more stylish…appealing to more upscale buyers who owned either a Galaxie ot Thunderbird as their principal car…and marketing execs recognized that a new, sportier trimmed coupe and convertible would appeal to husbands, with upgraded bucket seats, upholstery and carpeting, powered by a small block V8…enter the Futura and the faux wood trimmed Squire wagons…
    …I recall footage of Bill Ford being feted by Italian designers of the day, receiving their award for the full-sized Galaxie…which fed nicely into Americans’ increased interest in all things European…
    …loved the gal at the beginning who proudly snapped photos of her lovely new Falcon…posing next to a new car was definitely “the thing” during the post-war period…
