No ford T 😂

My parents had a 64 Landau. The interior was great. Rode well for the time. Unfortunately it was not maintained well. Looked good. Didn’t run great by 1970. Was gone by 1971 with just 64,000 miles for $400 as a trade In on a 71 Ford. If I had been just 3 years older it could have been my first car and still would have it today.

The back seat design was off the chain!!! Fabulous

Best looking Ford ever.

Bob Hope gave a lot of himself to entertain our overseas troops. He was a patriot. However, i never thought he was funny...even slightly.

Chris Schenkel, formerly with ABC, is the narrator.

Thanks, good info. What about an actual crack?

This is my dream car to buy if i had money for it

The '62 is my favorite Bullet Bird, especially in Raven Black with ⚫ vinyl/leather interior. Thanks for posting. 👍🏾

I bought one love it, will they go up in value I wonder ?

A favorite show as a kid growing up...also had a boy-crush 😍 on Elizabeth Montgomery...😉

Wild yet beautiful styling. To my eyes the entire early '60s Ford/Lincoln line was attractive. Styling is of course totally subjective but to me the Virgil Exner Mopars of that era looked like cartoon cars.

2:50 I think the carburetor spacer with coolant running through it is intended to stabilize the carb temperature. If as claimed they were cooling the crankcase they would have used an oil cooler.

Brake linings new and improved, more asbestos I want them.

Where were you in 62?

Always a car nut, as a 14 year old I would watch Bewitched only for the Chevrolet commercials. I would lay on the floor in front of the TV waiting for the ads showing the exciting 65's. In those days the morning and evening newspapers would have full page ads for all the new cars which were introduced in September. I still remember the awe and excitement at seeing those gorgeous cars for the first time then spending endless hours in my room drawing my own versions. Now at 74 years old I crave for those exciting days.

Buen rediseño para la Econoline, para el Galaxie y el LTD.

To me, the "Chrysler" lineup and "Mercury" had the most futuristic designs and models. Who knew that by 1960, they would be toning down or doing away with the fins ?

Shoo Be Doo!

Sheesh 50 yrs later they all rudted out crushed but restored ones Garner. 6figgers

The Tbird takes the cake, it’s just soooo much better looking than the others

From a wonderful happy time before Moslems arrived and ruined everything.

This is cool. My dad started taking me and my brother in 1977. I think we went for 8 years in a row.

Good one--the way we were.

3:27 - June Lockhart just turned 99 years old this month (June 2024).

back when there were real cars

1:30- L.L. Colbert couldn't forsee that 1957 would be a recession year- and that most new automobiles introduced weren't selling as fast as they should. And there was Ford's introduction of the *EDSEL* that October- one of the biggest blunders in planning and promoting a new car.

Fabulous T Birds and Lincoln’s and lots of amazing styling.

not 1989

The closing credits at the end are from S1 episode "Little Pitchers Have Big Fears", OAD 10/22/1964.

@Classic Annuals 4951== Thanks Thanks Thanks == Stainless STEEL all over*** Electric RAZOR GRILLES***Straight BACK styling***SIGNAL LAMPS go ON at dusk== HEADLIGHTS go ON at NIGHT while SIGNAL LAMPS go OFF!!! By the 1970s headlights and signal lights STAY ON TOGETHER☆☆☆☆

If you like Bob Hope, car salesmen and an orchestra playing elevator music...watch the first 8 1/2 minutes. If you want to see the 1960 Buick then skip to 8:35 and see the car.

Dr. Sevrin selling cars! or maybe that's Melakon....

Beautiful 68 Nova. It is a striking difference from the 67' model.

Wow when was the last time you saw so many classics at the used car lot. Loved the Vette and the Bullet Bird next to it.

I love these old home videos of auto shows.The paint quality was so good back then. Automotive paint doesn't have that deep finish like it once did.

I had a 1978 Mercury Cougar with a 351 Cleveland and it was a great car. When I was a kid, my dad had a 1968 cougar with a 289 engine and it was great car too.

Would have beem a great video. . . . .But for all the Talking Suites. Who wants to look at them let alone listen to them talking. Oh 1957 great, great year for Detroit. Though the glitches did appear later!

Thank you for this wonderful privilage. Such rare video.

Thanks for posting this. Even though I was only a two-year-old girl in 1961, I remember a lot of these cars. I always thought the 61 Rambler Ambassador was beautiful, and the 61 Caddy. I'ts sad that Pontiac, Olds, and Plymouth are no longer. And the general public dressed up for events like this. I remember noticing that when I watched footage of the 1964 World's Fair. Now you go to an auto show and everyone's in jeans or shorts!

This is great! Really enjoyed it. If they had car shows like that now, I'd want all of those cars, but in reality, if I were to go to a car show in 2024, I probably wouldn't want any of them.

Thanks for posting this! So cool to see all these beautiful cars from ‘61. ✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

Bad year for Chrysler. Ugly cars.

Strange how cars were presented in 1961

'61 Oldsmobiles had that sexy rear end!

Actually, '61 was not the greatest year for many makes, although admittedly this footage was from the very beginning of the '61 model year, so they did not know yet. Chrysler products were not very appealing, and it was only to get worse the next year. In the luxury class, Caddy and Imperial would suffer drops in sales from 1960 (which itself was not a good year for car sales in general). On the other hand, the '61 Lincoln experienced a significant sales *increase* from the prior year-a very unusual occurrence for the debut year of a total redesign, especially from a marque which had suffered an identity crisis the decade prior. Speaking of Lincoln, its redesign was the most radical departure from styling norms, nearly all other cars looking like post-'50s carryovers. Its debut caused all other designers to start with fresh drawing boards, making the Lincoln the most influential design in the car industry after WW2. Despite that, this footage dedicates only about 5 seconds to the most influential car design of that year, compared to more than twice as much for all others.

Ahh 1964!...Thunderbird!...crooked LBJ, the Kennedy assassination conspiracy, Vietnam War on the horizon...good times! 😅

Did anyone notice the '60 Eldorado Brougham at 6:05?

0:06 pretty sure it’s DETROIT, not “Detriot.”
