Here is a rare collection of Ford Commercials I recently restored in 2k. I hope there is something you can teach me about these spots. Watch more at TVDAYS.com #fordmotors #fordcars #TVDAYS #IraGallen #Ford
Today's commercials you take the new family vehicle and run through the woods, mud holes, dust and dirt and who knows what, where and however. Thanks for the video and pride in the American dream. Dad had a Burgandy 1963 ford Galaxie 500XL,
I absolutely and totally agree. This era (Jet Age, JFK era, post fifties excess but pre Muscle car era is absolutely elegant and beautiful. 1960-64, and apart from the big fins, 58-59)
The 1960's, when cars were inexpensive and gas was about 25 cents per gallon. I could still get gas for 29 cents a gallon in Maryland, until the end of 1973. The oil embargo started in October of 1973, and there was a gas shortage and prices went up.
I was only 10 then. Do you remember what the price then jumped too? I definitely remember the “energy crisis” around then and it was forever drilled into me to turn off lights when leaving a room.
All the 352/360hp cars got electric windshield wipers (no vacuum). To avoid passing too close to the redesigned exhaust manifolds, brake lines were routed across the top rear of the lower radiator support instead of across the cross member beneath the engine.
"Seats softer then your bed of ferns." When I was much younger, we had a 61 Country Squire and a 62 Galaxie 2 door. Everyone said that about the seats. Well, maybe not. But they were great cars!
In the 1980s PBS had a Travelogue Show called "America With the Top Down" where a couple of guys drove a Early 1960s Ford Sunliner Convertible from the Upper Midwest to the Lower tip of Texas by the Mexico boarder. One of the guys in the cast joked, "Since we're doing this for PBS, we should have used a Volvo!"
I am an old geezer and when I was very young my mom drove a brand new 1961 Ford Country Squire. White exterior and I think a red interior. Of course, the (wood) plastic appliqué which fooled no one. Absolutely no one. I also seem to remember the ignition switch to start the car was on the left side of the steering wheel which seemed very awkward. #memories
I'm not that old, born in the 2000s. But after all I find the cars of the past very nice, even more nicer than cars of now. Sadly that they don't make these cars anymore.... Does anybody know the song name between 2:15 and 2:50?

I hope y’all will reply to this a friend of papa mama and I had a green ‘ 72 Galaxie her name was Miss Emma she lived across the street from us when we were renting a house before we had our own house
I was disappointed that all the Fords were shown in boring white. With all the glorious colors that were available why didn’t they show them in those? The chrome would’ve really stood out then…and the car, especially when photographed in the snow.
I didn't like those cars,the seats were terrible, our neighbors had a Country Squire and the vinyl stuck to you in the summer and my Dad had a Galaxie 500 and the nylon seats scratched and itched when you wore shorts....
I grew up in this era... At the time, a new model came out every yr.. Today, most models change every 5 or 6 yrs. Back then every yr was distictive from the last.. Even if it sold extremely well new models took its place... They had style & class . Not like todays cookie cutter european design that often makes it hard to tell one make from another... Now the industry that was the backbone of our economy is made in Mexico. Here's some irony for ya... The Toyota Tundra is more American than Chevy, Dodge, Ford.. 70% of the Tundra is made here. While 70% of all other trucks are made in Mexico. Remember NAFTA ? You can thank Bill Clinton for destroying our auto industry .. And our government for destroying our manufacturing & industrial base for profits they make in China. We pay 22% tariffs for American goods sold in China. They pay 2%. Why ? Because it made our politicians & walstreet disgustingly rich while the middle class disappeared . Now both parents have to work just to make ends meet.. Their combined wages are 30 yrs behind the cost of living... American knowhow & production turned into American greed .
Yeah I love the Mercedes/BMW commercials where the driver is flying through the streets of downtown Los Angeles doing drifts around the corners. Some bonehead from Glendale will see this and try the same stunt on Brand Blvd with comical/terrifying results.

Gone are the good old days when you could slide across the seat and snuggle your love. 😢
Nowadays most cars are equipped with bucket seats and a console.😡

Pure class, from the cars and the models. Thats missing these days.
The ‘60 Fords still look fresh. Style leaders that year for sure. I love these commercials!
My parents had a 1966 Galaxie 500 XL with all the bells and whistles including factory air and a monster 390 V8
She was a beautiful performer.
My dad had a 64 Galaxy 500 for 12 years. It was never repaired once. It didn't even have a scratch. I wish I had one now.😁👍
Love seeing the old cars and fresh new highways with no road damage and pot holes.😎🇺🇸
Life in the early 60s, I miss it so much.😌
I absolutely and totally agree. This era (Jet Age, JFK era, post fifties excess but pre Muscle car era is absolutely elegant and beautiful. 1960-64, and apart from the big fins, 58-59)

The musical scores to these are outstanding. They perfectly match the visuals and narration.
Good Lord! The music is absolutely hideous!
@@beauhatman4395 You can watch it with the sound off.
The Starliner commercial used the Russian Light Classic "Sabre Dance," the Galaxies Commercial used Ray Noble's "The Verry Thought of You."
Wow so classic and beautiful 😻
Una maravilla. Gracias por compartir.
Boy I tell you what no matter your wallet size there was always something classy to drive for everyone back then !
No kidding. I'll bet you're looking at 3-4K here.
That 1960 Ford was an especially pretty car.

Love the styling !
never even heard of the starliner or sunliner (convertable) 1960-61. interesting note, no seat belts, seems unimaginable today.
Seat belts came in in '63-front seats only.
My first car….red 61 Galaxy!
All the 352/360hp cars got electric windshield wipers (no vacuum). To avoid passing too close to the redesigned exhaust manifolds, brake lines were routed across the top rear of the lower radiator support instead of across the cross member beneath the engine.
I owned a 1960 Ford Fairlane but the 1961 Ford is definitely better looking.

I sure miss those days of cheap gas

They did a good job matching the sky's color with the starliner
BTW the wheel covers were referred to as Sundial wheel covers

Not if you are left-handed.
It was closer to the starter back in the day - direct....
@@jimkelly4214 - Actually, I am! 😏
@@davidminton6994 Starter, battery and starter solenoid were on the right side.
I'm left handed, too. I liked the left side ignition switch.
Love it
The gal is wearing a full-length mink coat, but they're driving a Galaxie? Not even Henry Ford II was that loyal.
The Lincoln was in the shop.
My dad had a '64 Galaxy 500. I believe it was Oriental Yellow or Bright Orange with white interior.
MAD ison Avenue.
Lovely
We had that car, in black, growing up
Jeez... All the cars had "Thunderbird heritage". Might as well buy a Thunderbird...
back before commercials were in color and didn't make you sick to watch them and the cars actually had comfortable seats in them
The 61 Fords had Cadillac front end style.
Car commercials sure have changed. All they show now days is the APR available..
I wouldn’t mind a retro Ford Galaxy retro EV
I heard someplace that the Ford Falcon was never advertised, I'm writing this before watching the video.
Compared to a 1960 Chevy or Plymouth that Starliner looked 5 years ahead of its time.
I totally agree! I haven't seen a 1960 Ford in probably 20 years. Great looking car.
This commercial gives me Bewitched vibes. Although Bewitched featured really nice Chevys in their episodes.
Ah yes a man in his car is a beautiful thing
I want these music soundtrack. Does anyone know the names of all of them. In particular the one for the 1961 Ford Galaxie. 4.02 to 5.07
The one I saw in the junk yard didn`t look that fresh .
No shoulder straps or seat belts back then? Just askin'.
First commercial sounds like it might have been narrated by Herb Edelman.
ahhhhhhh,,,long before trumpers
Rear wheel drive on these icy and snowy roads is not very safe!
I'm not that old, born in the 2000s. But after all I find the cars of the past very nice, even more nicer than cars of now. Sadly that they don't make these cars anymore....
Does anybody know the song name between 2:15 and 2:50?
What’s the name of the piece of music?
" A car to love a woman to drive. "
Scorpions
The cars looks better and the girls also
Is that coolant or tranny fluid pour into out of that Ford?
I long for the days when America was a decent place to be...
Kirk Davis it still is just don’t be or hang out with the Republicans I hope you will reply to this
You mean when people wanted to get vaccinated and knew that implementing Christian sharia law was unAmerican?

I hope y’all will reply to this a friend of papa mama and I had a green ‘ 72 Galaxie her name was Miss Emma she lived across the street from us when we were renting a house before we had our own house
The narration at 9:00 on sounds like Jack Webb 🤷♀️🆗

Notice how they say it's a car for man! 🙄

American knowhow & production turned into American greed .
And everyone owes at least $30,000 in credit card debt!! And a one dollar can of soup is over four dollars in your local supermarket!!
Well said. I can't think of many cars today that will be collectable or classics in let's say 30 to 50 years from now.
These seem kind of corny. Now they just drive the cars like bats out of hell to advertise them.
Yeah I love the Mercedes/BMW commercials where the driver is flying through the streets of downtown Los Angeles doing drifts around the corners.

"The Starliner resembles no other car." Um, looks a lot like a 1960 Impala...
That 1960 Ford Starliner commercial... How Lame! Great (nice) car though, but the music and the quality of the video... really?!
The women and the tiger were way more beautiful than the cars.
In this era. No one was concerned about gender. It’s male or female.
Very primitive cars with rear wheel drive, leaf springs, stiff rear axle, drum brakes, diagonal tyres and bad safety.
Leaf-springs at the rear! Terrible, and typical Ford! Just like on an old, horse drawn carriage from the 19th century!
Commercials sucked back then. Lol
