1970 Mercury Comet Commercial

[KPKaccountt]

for an old commercial,it sure is brilliant

[Rangerboy9404]

my first car was a 2 door Comet with a str8 6 that ad brings back memories

[EasilyWowed]

We had a 1974 - 4 door six cylinder engine (251cid). That damn thing is still running.

[leonarddaccardi]

comet is beautiful...........BULL

[braincrisp1]

Man, I had one of these back in the day. Biggest piece of junk in the world: gutless engine that would keep running after I turned the car off and one whole whopping speaker in the dash.

[fox8950]

Learned how to drive as a teen in the early 80's with the parents 71 Comet 2dr,302.

Fun times.

Car was very reliable,but the handling and braking with 4 wheel manual drums was bad.

[oldcarlover14]

whats with the cat at the end

[tylerrlove]

1971? The car i just bought looks EXACTLY like this and was billed as a 1974, but I cant find anything from 74 that looks like this (they are all 2-dr) - do I have a 71 or a 74?

[hashcream69]

@tylerrlove i have exactly the same car as this one exept the paint and the black interior and its a 1973...

[MildlyAnnoyedAHM]

Holy crap! Those little things came with a V8???

[Greg9942]

They were good cars for the time. You got more car for your money back then.

[efrench9]

My parents bought one of these in 1970 for 2700.00 bucks. yikes.

[nakamichiguy]

It can outrun a bull! LOL!

Neat find. I get really nostalgic seeing the 'sign of the cat' again, reminds me of watching TV with my grandfather as a little kid.

[ionosphere1]

When did Mercury stop using the cat in its ads?

[bagelboi66]

A small car with a V8. Those were the days.

[FordMaverickFanatic]

This is actually from 1971, but nice find!

[WookieCookie]

The ad aired in late 1970... Yes, it is a 1971 model though.

[jumpydart]

i've gotta admit i've seen better looking pintos

[comet599]

lol are you kidding comets are sick my mom has one and its 2 door its soo nice it sounds sexy btw this is my moms account

[dahgutone]

Lol how ironic.

[kinkykane0607]

american small car!! in wales that is the bigest car you will ever c ha small my ass no wonder american cars carnt get around a corner but dont get me rong i love the mustang gt even know i only gos 100 mph a smal car in wales with a 1.1engine will go faster :L

[CDTbossy]

FAIL!! your a big FAIL!!!

Small cars are usualy ugly, boring, crap and has no power at all, a VW Polo can't handle at all going over 30, but thats the fastest they can go...

[tylerrlove]

@CDTbossy

"Your"?

Sure YOU'RE not the big fail?

[CDTbossy]

@tylerrlove English is not my mother tongue

[hamslice151]

what a POS.

[dontbeaprick1876]

What a pos...? I bet you drive a station wagon. Actually the Comet is a piece of American muscle that (people like you) probably will never drive... Mercry Comets are awesome....

[Taranau]

I drive a stationwagon(86 Colony Park)and like these things.My in-laws had one for over250,000 miles.And sold it to somebody else,who expected to be having it a long time.These are re-skinned Ford Falcons,so they'd worked all the bugs out,they just needed a new image.I wouldn't mind having one of these.

[hamslice151]

after 1969 all comets were a POS.

give me a 69 cyclone 428cj, thats a "muscle car".

[scomule2]

terrible huh

[NarfBirkenstock]

With lame commercials like that, it is a wonder they ever sold one. I have '71 Comet GT in another video posted by Fuelman1975

[ElectroGhost10]

why do all new cars suck?

[JET997u]

God, I want one. With a 302 V8. Maybe the Stereo Sonic optional radio, too...

[rayssonation]

How remembers the commercials that were from the TV series THE FBI? The Ford Motor Company was the sponsor for the show.

[jeffreypeikin]

The beginning of the decline of the American Auto industry...wasn't this the companion to the infamous "Ford Pinto?"

[Taranau]

No,it's a Falcon/Mustang in disguise.Pintos were a little smaller and based on a Mazda platform.Pinto's stablemates are the Mercury Bobcat and Mustang II.

[devaneizanardi]

My friend, may I ask you something? The whells cover (calotte?) of my car are the same as Mercury Comet? Here my car, brazilian Ford Maverick. I want to buy brand new whells cover. Thanks a lot. Too see my car, search for "meu lindo maverick", that's the beautifull golden Maverick.

[gli7utubeo]

No time to put put on the seat belts it seems.

[snarkdetriomphe]

yeah, cause you never know when THAT might happen...
