Whoa! Whoa! BACK THE FUCK UP! Did he say that thing has a radio AND a heater? For ONLY 695, damn! Forget the airconditioner in Flordia, this baby has a heater.
@mistersmith6000 The Ranch Wagon was the base station wagon model. It probably had no options. I would guess it was a 6 cylinder with 3 on the tree. Any car over 50,000 miles was considered high milage back then. Since this was a S. Florida ad, the car might have even lacked a heater. That too was an extra coat item on base models back then. Assuming this commercial was aired in 1965, $695.00 would be about $4800.00 in todays dollars.
Used car commercials throughout the USA in the '60s were notorious for being hard-sell like this one, with several cars being driven past the camera in succession and a fast-talking announcer yelling at you the entire time.
And yes, the 1960 Ford station wagon does come VERY close to tapping the bumper of the '63 Ford in front of it.
This guy is Jack O'Brian. They called him 'Jumpin Jack O'Brian.' He was the pitchman for Municipal Auto Sales for nearly two decades, did most of these commercials LIVE and was the best known used car salesman ever in South Florida!
I love the way those babies rock back and forth when they stop and even when he hits them. Good old sloppy seconds suspension, a design feature of American cars whose ass aged like wine.
Ill pay Ill pay at those prices how do I get those babies back to 2008 @ that price. Yes sonny people did wear suits in that time, as I said love he ad he was typical for the time. See American Graffitti car salesman pitch in the giant chair. Those were the days.
We worked very hard to keep the cars tight, so the 2nd car would be there when I turned around and so would the third. It only back-fired once in the years I did commercials for Municipal.
This is the way to sell a car. I remember just this kind of ad in the 60's in the bay area here. Nice to see this.

He's hitting those cars pretty hard! If it was a modern day car, he'd dent the door. They used real steel in them back in those days!

Note that the second car almost got hit by the third car, I wouldn't trust the ad becuase the car almost got hit. Kinda scary, don't you think?
