I have always been fascinated by the late 60s, and this video just increases my fascination with that period. Everything seemed so much classier and cleaner than today. I could definitely see me driving one of those 😊❤️

[@jimdayton8837]

Same here! Things just seemed a lot cooler back then.

[@frdjr2527]

'68 Fords were very classy. I had a '67 Mustang hardtop in Lime Gold. Still miss it to this day!

[@judymarlene3414]

I especially like the gogo boots I love retro fashion,the sixties and seventies.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Beautiful cars, and the Muzak version of "Going Out Of My Head". Cool ad!

[@georgefox1055]

My Dad brought one of my older sister's a brand new 68 Galaxy 500 Fastback w/390 red with black cloth interior, in November 1967. What a beautiful car. When I look at commercials for Ford it is unbelievable that you could walk in to a dealership and buy such a work of art.

[@daviddoll4730]

Ford had some GREAT commercials for ‘68! They sure partnered with a great ad agency for this model year!

[@stevesosebee5860]

My dad bought a 68 Ford LTD 4 door hardtop with the 390 V8, loved driving that car !!!

[@gene978]

Miss our ‘68 Country Squire with hidden headlamps. Sitting in the way back. And Dad Refused to use the A/C because it used more gas he said. Only once we used it on a sweltering day combing back from the beach. Many beach trips in that car and local Pond. And many sheets of plywood and ladders to do wallpapering. That car went through a lot and in the 8 years we had it not one issue. At 14 years old I did body work for a re- spray. Our Neighbor painted it. We bough it in 1970. Traded it in 1978 for all things a 1978 Subaru coupe. Rotted in 2 years with Rusty Jones. tops of Fenders were missing when traded in 1982 for another Subaru wagon this time. Much better than the ‘78.

[@jamessawyer8889]

The cars of the sixties especially like these are what motoring was all about. Yes they ate gas, gas mileage wasn’t a big deal but you had a vehicle that had style, performance, and comfort

[@OsbornTramain]

They didn't eat gas....that's a common myth, Their mileage wasn't bad at all, not until the 1970's when Emission Standards came into play, that's what sapped the gas mileage and made them expensive to run. But not a 1968 Ford

[@woodyofp8574]

@OsbornTramain Well, sure the efficiency wasn't *that* bad before emissions, but we're still talking 10-16mpg for a big full size American car.

[@doug9066]

I like the 4 door the best, I've always liked 4 door cars better but most like 2 doors. Very nice looking cars Ford had in 1968.

[@bohemialite6371]

Those were the SUVs of the time look where they made the commercial cars work tough

[@jimlubinski4731]

But they certainly had more style than SUVs!

[@kevinmacdonald6268]

I think that’s the last thing I am going to do is climb a volcano in my brand new fastback. Being a Pontiac fan nothing appealed to me in 1968 except maybe the Firebird. The 68 XL has always been my favourite Ford and will continue to do so. 428 four-speed fastback, beautiful car.

No, all the car commercials today do not feature the car, rather they feature the employee discounts only as in: "let's dump these things!" Vic M

[@NESherv]

Because the cars don't look like they used to! If they started making car commercials like this, I'd just get mad because the cars today all look like vacuum cleaners from TRON.

The 427 wasn’t available in 68. The 428 was.

[@chuckselvage3157]

@@melrose9252 I think the 427 was still an option but because they were basically a race engine and were high maintenance I think a few Mercury cougar had the 390 horsepower single barrel 427 but most customers opted for the 428 which was much more streetable

Nice! Too bad they went out of the car business.

[@OsbornTramain]

? I thought the Mustang was a car? The Ford Escape looks like a car, so does the GT? The closer I look at the Ford Focus and the Puma and the Kuga they clearly look like cars to me? The Ford Focus Station Wagon in Germany looks like a car and it's a station wagon, not an SUV. They started with one car, the Model T, does that mean they weren't a car company because they only made one car? The Model T? Stop spreading fake or false news or history.
