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."

The 72 Gran Torino is probably the most beautiful mid size car Ford ever built.

[@althunder4269]

These were the best looking cars of all the Torino years. I appreciate these slower car commercials over the ones we have now where the car is shown racing around and the picture changes very two seconds and has some guy yelling over the blaring music.

[@ernievallejo11]

Wow Mexican made car

[@billybillmills]

I wish they still made them, I would go buy one today.

[@barcode1963]

Same here but they would be made in Mexico now

[@terrencebiggane8648]

Me too. I'd buy a Gran Torino Squire and a GT sportsroof.

[@BikerJim74]

LOL my dad bought one new and it was the most poorly put together car he ever owned. total piece of crap.

[@leedaniels7196]

Me too!.

My buddy had a 72 with a351h o he always had me by a half car when we raced my 69 351 w cougar back in the 70s god rest his soul many great memories

[@hotroddave7597]

Clint Eastwood like the Gran Torino so well he made a movie called grand Torino. 😹😹😹

[@cellpat2686]

These cars were unloved back in the day and yet today we wish they still built them. So beautiful and unseen today we love them.

[@toddbonin6926]

‘72 was such a great year for Ford!

[@toddbonin6926]

@Amplass 333 yes!!!

[@nathanholmquist7757]

I am buying a 1972 torino gt fast back to restore, 351 Cleveland bucket seats and a center console and factory tack,and can you beat that!!!

[@richearthone]

i had a 72 Gran Torino with the 351 and Ram Air hood. Silver with black top.

[@gojoe2833]

The 72 was the best looking Torino of all years! Back when gas was less than 30 cents a gallon...

[@raytabs5879]

Best lookin Torino ever.

[@trentbdog]

Very cool. Thanks for posting. The ‘72 - ‘76 Gran Torino is one of my favorite cars! My grandma had a white ‘74 2-dr, black top, and opera windows. Loved that car!

[@codyluka8355]

I agree with you Trent! Even though the Torino production ended in 1976, it did live on unofficially until 1979 as the LTD ll. I own a 1978 Ltd ll Sport and love it. The 1977 Ford Ltd ll was an updated Torino and still looked great...well the 2 door coupes anyway. :)

[@trentbdog]

@@codyluka8355 nice! I did not know that. I just looked up the LTD II … nice looking car. I wish I could find a nice 72 - 76 Torino but they’re hard to find.

[@codyluka8355]

@@trentbdog The 1972 Torino, Ranchero, and Mercury Montego were my favorites. Great looks and good power too. After 74, they were iconic...but not fast. Even with the 460. Very comfortable and classy...like a personal sports couple should be. Keep your eye open and when you least expect it, you'll find the one you want.

[@timothysanders431]

Damn i want a couple of them .

[@iskandartaib]

I had a '71. Looked totally different.

[@Cobra3901]

70 & 71 looked great too if you had the headlight covers on them. Not many were ordered that way. The 72 looked good even as a 4 door but the 2 door fastback was the one to get. The “Gran Torino” movie car would have looked better without the vinyl roof.

[@timothyforsythe3155]

I own a 72 bought it used in 74. It had 21,000 miles. $1800 try buying a car for that today. Great car!

[@hueymontgomery9508]

That car was from Clint Eastwood movies. All though this car has pure muscle!

[@lancezegarzewski2925]

The movie was Gran Torino

[@hueymontgomery9508]

@@lancezegarzewski2925 yeah you're right!

[@matthewfusaro2590]

Awesome movie!

[@nicholasrice6933]

Not much muscle...

[@christopherkraft1327]

Very cool 😎

[@BoxerMustangLoverAndChristian]

The 1972 Ford Gran Torino is so beautiful, the car itself can remind me of the movie Gran Torino (2008), which is actually named after the main character’s (Walter Kowalski - Clint Eastwood) beloved car (a dark green 1972 Ford Gran Torino Sportsroof. :)

[@waynecampbell9107]

If Ford really wanted to go retro, they'd bring back the styling of the 1972 Gran Torino, with the boss 429 motor! That would blow chevy away, and force GM to reconsider rebadging the Trans Am, Firebird, Formula, and The GTO The Judge under Buick, since they were the closest thing to Pontiac .

[@ronbrock6153]

I had a 71 Torino GT with hideaway headlights, best fit and finish (ie panel gaps, door, trunk closing with just a tap) till my 99 Buick Ultra.

[@deplorablecovfefe9489]

Dad bought a 73 gran torino. Nice looking car. The 302 blew a rod 2 yrs in. Fixed that and then had endless coolant/ waterpump issues. Beautiful car that had tons of critical problems. Would spin out around wet corners by accident all the time. It was a fishtailing machine. Gold w/ brown vinyl top, brown interior, and a ton of large 5" cheap aluminum running board strips....the 73 had a much better looking grill than the 72. .Had the extended bumper and wider grill... 2300$ brand new in 73. I also had a 68 fairlane that sold brand new for 1500$ ( no radio) between 68 - 73 is when they first started to use alot of plastic in cars. The difference in styling and comfort in those years was like night and day...more comfort, less durable....

[@thepropview9517]

Two words government regulations

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

The styling of the 1972 Mercury Montego was much better than the Torino.

[@peterhogan9537]

my uncle Vern Campbell had a 72 Torino.

[@MillerMeteor74]

Quiet, and more room and comfort. Sounds like exactly my kind of car. Today's cars seem to have none of that.

[@AlejandroP1980s]

@Capsized Cloud gas no more gas 7 dollar gas and Biden wants to ban gas and diesel cars and trucks

[@lincmerc1581]

That vintage soccer mom probably inspired the same character in the Disney movie, "The North Avenue Irregulars"!

[@socalltd]

I want that yellow 2 door with the white top and brown interior.

[@randystevens8683]

I had a yellow one with a brown top really like that car .

[@socalltd]

@@randystevens8683 cool. .

[@johnmaki3046]

My cousin had a new '72 Torino...It spent MORE time on the "repair rack" than it spent going down the road!....LEMON!

[@gonzalogochicoa6815]

Its Ford papá simply the Best

[@calbob750]

This was the year that the curator for Ford’s Greenwood Village was buying two cars to own and drive for the rest of his life because emissions standards were ruining drive ability and performance. Probably not a good idea cause Ford wasn’t using galvanized steel in body panels and living and driving in the rust belt meant rust through in three to five years.

[@21stcenturyfossil7]

Probably worked out OK. 73-74 were the worst years for drivability. Things started getting better with the introduction of catalytic converters.

[@Cobra3901]

They were beautiful cars that year. Even the guys who hated Fords thought it was a great looking car. In 73 they had the bumper standards they had to meet, so they had to change the styling to the “Starsky & Hutch style. Looked ok but not as good.

[@TheMadPole]

Today's cars are superior in almost every way... but they lack the soul of old Detroit sheet metal.

[@watershed44]

@Classic Car Channel *Do you have any idea where the location of the second spot was filmed? Clearly an almost brand new highway!* Almost looks like I-77 down near North Carolina or Virginia? Also using music from The Price is Right??

[@21stcenturyfossil7]

I have no idea where that particular commercial was filmed but I'll guess it was somewhere in Michigan. Commercials for the early part of the model year were often (usually?) filmed with pre-production cars and I don't think they didn't wanted to stray far from home in a car that didn't have all the bugs worked out. That goes double for that rolling frame car.

[@nicholasrice6933]

Base Torino grill is different.

[@rickkiebiech6088]

Mid-size?

[@paulb.2125]

It was a mid size compared to the full size galaxie 500 and Ltd's

[@maryrafuse2297]

Interesting that the Torino was new for 1972 and the Chevelle was not new until 1973 because of a GM strike. Quality was also bad on the 72 Chevelle especially with poor paint quality.

[@Drchainsaw77]

Grille badges look like the car has something stuck in its teeth.

[@paulausherman727]

Back when they built real cars

[@ernievallejo11]

Wow Mexican made car

[@kianni9393]

My 72 Torino was made in Canada.
