1968 Ford Mustang TV Ad Commercial (4/5) - Only Mustang '68!

[@MrHmg55]

This jingle (the "Mustang's callin', have a ball in" version) has been stuck in my head for 47 years, ever since it found its way onto a tape of songs off the radio I recorded one afternoon back then and played over and over again.

[@RJSchex]

Years later, the jingle became the basis for a local car dealer's jingle: "Only Berge Ford makes it happen Only Berge Ford leads the way Let them show you, and they know you'll Drive a Berge Ford come what may"

[@willyschmitt5665]

The 68, 69, and 70 mustang fastbacks are beautiful cars. Highly valuable and highly in demand now.

I was 10 years old that year!! I remember this Mustang Jingle very very well!!

[@paulm.newitt3246]

The opening scene in the showroom (with character actor Philip Bruns) was shot at Galpin Ford in North Hills, CA. (15505 Roscoe Blvd. @ 405 fwy). It's still there today, exactly as you see it here. When he drives off, you can see the dealership restaurant in the background.

[@tomservo56954]

And I thought a restaurant in a car dealership was a new thing...

back then the cars were great and so were the ad;s.

I've NEVER forgotten that great music!!

[@burlingtonbill1]

This is one GREAT commercial! The song is so catchy, it stays with you.

[@kjquinn7856]

I was eleven when I first saw this commercial and to this day, I remember the jingle. Ford hit it out of the park with such a memorable commercial.

[@jamiecinder9412]

The original Mustangs were the best of the best. There was a model for everybody, and this commercial does a wonderful job showing it. While the Mustang could be a genuine muscle car, at its base, the Mustang was an inexpensive, sporty car with V8 power that anybody could drive and anybody could enjoy. And I feel like that's something that was lost in the later versions.

[@1lovesgreatness]

That was groovy.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

The 67 - 68 Mustangs are certainly the best looking of the first generation.

[@marcdemell5976]

Appealing to vanity.

[@msquaretheoriginal]

The great thing about this jingle is that it sums up entirely what the Mustang is about. To the present day.

[@utuBrV1oI]

Except if you want to bring 3 instead of just 1 friend along in any stang since 1979. Yes the mustang II & even the pinto had room for 4! But not the "modern" stang or Camaro(the latter since 1982)..

[@msquaretheoriginal]

@@utuBrV1oI Pony cars by definition have lousy rear seats. Some lousier than others, and the Fox body Mustangs actually had the least lousy rear seats of any generation. The Pinto's rear seat wasn't much good either. Another reason they should have just built the Cortina here instead of wasting millions developing an inferior car.

No commercial has ever been more true...Only Mustang makes life great!!! Happy 55th Birthday to the original idea, the better idea, Mustang!!! Ford had, has, and will have the better idea. #ford #flatrockassembly #dearbornassembly #metuchenassembly #sanjoseassembly

Almost Happy 60th Birthday now.

Finally someone uploaded the best quality original Mustang Commercials !!! I've seen others on KZbin with such poor video/audio, this is great now I can enjoy the song just like when I saw these commercials on the TV back in those days ! Looks like they are film transfers to tape, well done

[@mikedoran9851]

The distinguished man who raced his chauffeur to the Mustang at the two-minute mark was '30s movie star Donald Woods (I don't know who the chauffeur was).

[@radiotelefonia]

JWT in Argentina reused the music for Falcon and F-100 commercials filmed in Buenos Aires almost at the same time. I have to send it to "El Óvalo Azul", a Ford historian friend in Argentina.

[@Tune-O-matic]

i just remember the "mustang mustang 68" part of the lyric and vaguely the song..and i dont recall commercials being that long ...

[@tomservo56954]

This full-length version aired during Super Bowl II in January 1968.

[@kenmcleod8618]

I remember that commercial

[@JRC99]

1:22 Boy, that engine must be screaming since it looks like he left it in first gear.

[@MisterMikeTexas]

A moment of silence for the loss of that poor 302 Windsor! 😢

[@MykelBBY1]

I am in love with that young lady at 1:40 even with the silly head and eye movements. It is too bad that today she is over 80 years old.

[@Gannooch]

This was shown on TV Land as one of their retormercials in the late 90s although I am thinking it was edited.

[@johnmiller7612]

Who is the girl that the football is hitting on?

[@atant2]

Dad had a 69 fastback, candy apple red. He regretted selling it. 😢

[@robmastro8620]

Notice the loose drivers door mirror at 2:08- things were getting shoddy even back then..

[@JeffreyMason-e3k]

I have a better idea: Make a karaoke of that song. I'm into karaoke.

[@spirg]

sounds like the Ray Coniff singers ..

[@gojoe2833]

He may be an actor, but Phillp Bruns looks creepy in this commercial. And the "lady" in the blue hardtop is reputed to really be a guy! But cars back then were truly awesome!

Loose drivers door mirror at 2:10...

[@2998dillon]

Any idea who sang the song??

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Session vocalists hired by J Walter Thompson?

[@williamfox6144]

I swear Festus and James Coburn are both in this commercial

[@burlingtonbill1]

It looked to me like maybe George Kennedy instead of Coburn.

[@SGTStangg]

Anyone know what it says from 1:00 to 1:03?

[@squirrelnut]

Mustang's callin', have a ball in

[@anonymousnotes8851]

@1:02-1:05 can any lip readers out there determine what the football player is saying?

[@SauNguyenThi-tc2zt]

NO WAY 1968 LOOK LIKE 70s AND 80s
