‘67 Fords Rode Hard! [1967 Classic Car Commercials]

1967 Fords Rode Hard! [Commercials of Durability]
The Ford Galaxie is a full-sized car that was built in the United States by Ford for model years 1959 through to 1974. The name was used for the top models in Ford's full-size range from 1958 until 1961, in a marketing attempt to appeal to the excitement surrounding the Space Race. For 1962, all full-size Fords wore the Galaxie badge, with "500" and "500/XL" denoting the higher series. The Galaxie 500/LTD was introduced for 1965 followed by the Galaxie 500 7-Litre for 1966. The Galaxie 500 prefix was dropped from the LTD in 1966, and from the XL in 1967;[2] however the basic series structuring levels were maintained. The "regular" Galaxie 500 continued below the LTD as Ford's mid-level full-size model from 1965 until its demise at the end of the 1974 model year.[3]: 401-42

=============================
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.

So interesting to see how the commercials for cars have changed. Auto makers would brag about how well they handled and how tough they were, today they just tell you how compatible their infotainment system is with your phone.

[@Bubba1960.]

These retro clips make me yearn for the 60's and 70's. Not just the cars, but the culture, the great times I had, everything.

Cars were so beautiful back then. I went to a car show as a kid in 1965. The Pontiac Bonneville they displayed blew me away. It was gold and had real fur carpeting!

[@CJColvin]

Yep you got it brother, that 67 Ford Galaxie basically took some styling cues from the 65 to 66 Pontiac Bonneville and Catalina (except without the split grill).

[@dave1956]

I was a 10 year old car freak when this would have aired. It must not have run nationwide because I don’t remember any of these commercials. This is back in the day when the full sized Ford’s were the prettiest cars on the highway.

Yes, one of the most attractive cars of that era.

Yeah, and somehow they thought floating it down a river showed how good a car it was.... Ok

[@paulne1514]

Had a hand me down station wagon. I was 5th recipient. Before I got it, it had been in at least 3 accidents (totaled twice, frame straightened once) the only time it let me down was on a 500 mile trip where on the return trip I was unable to find leaded gas and the car died 30 miles from home. I let it cool down for about an hour, then finished my trip. Lead substitute and 106 octane boost kept the car going for a couple of years. The frame finally broke while hauling carpets. I still have the 390 motor(173,000 miles) and the C-6 tranny.

[@freedmike1394]

If anyone's wondering whether the ad agency drinking antics in "Mad Men" were for real, this should put it to rest. The "let's strap a car to a barge and send it down the river" idea probably happened after the sixth shot.

[@TheMrPeteChannel]

Ski slope was maybe on the 7th?

I used to have a -67 Ford LTD with 428. It was 4 door HT, and there were only 3 similar ones here in Finland 40 years ago. I loved that car, but starting a family then, a "bachelors´s car", a girl magnet, was something I no longer could have or "need"... I miss that car terribly. I hope I will see it again in the Heaven.

I owned and drag raced many different muscle cars over the years but none compared to the thrill of the acceleration in a 67' Fairlane with a 427.

I think the 1967 full-sized Ford was by far the most beautiful of the 1961-1968 models. We had a powder blue Custom 500 with a 302 and nice hubcaps like you see on here at 1:35, a high-end base model.

About 21 yrs ago I test drove a well kept original 67 Galaxy 500. 390 automatic 2d HT It rode and drove so smooth!! Had glasspack dual exhaust, all it needed was some interior TLC and It would have been right near a perfect car. It even had a set of the old Magnesium American racing wheels! yes they were corroded and obviously the real deal but nothing a little cleaning wouldnt take care of. I didnt buy it due to it being a big block and my financial situation wasnt the best to drive a 390 4bbl daily. Yall wont even believe the price I could have got it for but Ill tell it anyway. $1200 without the mags and $1500 with the mags. Yes i know i should have bought the car LOL

The good news is that cars are more reliable now than back in the day. I've got a 99 Mustang GT, I take care of it, and in 22+ years I've had to replace the plugs (once) the clutch (once) brakes (once) the IAC valve, one COP, the struts that hold up the trunk, and a problem with the intake manifold meant that had to be replaced. Other than normal consumables, those are the only repairs in 22 years. That's a repair every three years.

@@freedmike1394 yeah, back then that was not too much of an issue nor selling point. Now, as U say, cars are even designed to not only protect it's passengers, but, also to protect pedestrians if hit,good point ,thanks.

[@21stcenturyfossil7]

Unibody cars are stiffer, body on frame vehicles are more flexible. Trucks need that flex to avoid breaking, body on frame cars use that flex to isolate noise and harshness from the interior. Ford was going big for a soft, quiet ride in the late 60s and I suspect they wanted to pushback against the claim that they were making weaker cars, especially compared to the unibody cars from Chrysler. If you want to see a really strong unibody car from the 30s, check out this, especially at the 3:50 mark: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHfPZqN7mpJqq9E Note that on the later Ford tests, it's the cars soft springs that keep the car from being damaged. As far as modern cars go, all cars, body on frame or unibody, are designed to protect the passengers at the cost of keeping the car together.
