1960's Ford Concept Cars - 1965 Mustang

[TheYaom]

What the hell happened to the American car industry??? Americans went from beauties like this to plastic cars that brake down after 2 years!

[60chevywitha250]

Sounds Like Ford Lincoln And Mercury

[MegaAwsomeStudios]

that station wagons cool, but OLD !that sould be around today !

[kalispellvalleyford]

What a funny video. The 60's was the best decade for cars. Everything was beautiful, shiny, powerful, spacious, ect. Awesome !!!!

[FreshKiddsTV]

3:42 wow. GPS wayy back then

[950horsepower]

That's no Mustang. Mustang was nothing but a body bolted to a Falcon chassis, and the Falcons only had 4 lugs on the wheels, not 5, like on this car. Too bad they didn't build it, this car is a lot better. In fact it would still be stylish even today. But Ford decided to build junk instead, and didn't build any good Mustangs until 1968-69-70. Which were legendary btw. The 65s were garbage.

[OGRM]

@950horsepower

inline 6 mustang have 4 lugs

V8s had 5 lugs since 64

and 65 and 66 were the best years for mustang in my opinion

[Actionary]

Music used in these commercials remind me of Hitchcock movies.

[scribefbk]

dream car?

[timpriddy73]

LOOK, DESIGNERS DOING THIER JOB

[aby9005]

left earphone rip

[patchesdf]

I think that Cougar 2 is gorgeous. It looks like a Ferrari Daytona. Why the hell didn't they build it?

[TVperson1]

Now I see why people thought there would be hover cars in the 21st century.

[aaronpapanos]

Damn! I want that station wagon, the interior is awesome!

[oneworldkingdom]

Tilt steering. LOL,....what wild concept back then.

[TheAZJacob]

Wow! Looks awesome!

[Bluetailvappy]

I can think of some crude way the navigation system might work.

It might use a built in compass to determine your traveling direction, the speed of the car as well. You would simply pinpoint yourself on the map at the start of the trip, and somehow we could get the compass and speed to work together to get a working approximation of your position on that map.

[reddnec]

Gps! How in the hell did they do that?

And 1/2 turn lock to lock?

[kmattis228]

love the station wagon concept interior swival seats and curved bench seat and the way the back door opens . allso on the map they showed is where i live in dayton and work in cincinatie way cool car for wagon

[sandyberman]

I remember seeing the Aurora at the '64 NY Worlds Fair.

[gabbergandalf667]

You know that narrator just reminded me of Cave Johnson of Aperture Science....;)

[RedShiftImageworks]

Quite visionary to be fair! It even has 'GPS' and I love the interior! If only it wasnt so god damn ugly outside! lol

[puke9111]

safety < comfort

[rzorNvme]

Looks like the cars where inspired by the Jefferson cartoon or some 50' looney toones

[TheAmazingJimmy]

Gee wiz, the seats in that first car looks uber uncomfortable, I'd hate sitting in that thing!

[64ETapia]

Beep Boop Beep Beep Boop.

[mondeost2202008]

Imagine the people's faces when they saw these concepts at a motor show back in the 1960's

Now

Imagine driving to the motor show in a Mercedes W221 S63 AMG at the same timeline

Imagine their faces XD

[ShelbyGT34]

the station wagon is soooooo cooooooooool

i want it!

[spdskte]

Station wagon looks like Matt Helm's car.

[MegaSleepy1234]

um, what happened to the couger 1?

[JaSt321]

My dad's Taurus wagon had back-facing seats in the trunk. They weren't comfortable but they we're nice to have when you needed an extra two seats, and when you're done with them, you fold them back in and they disappear flat into the floor. Very neat thing to have. People who avoid wagons because they think it's cooler to drive a sedan or a crossover have no idea what they're missing out on.

[uruguayo54]

i like the low top mustang!

[wolfeste1n]

i like that 3rd car

[Ottoplemeniti]

The back seat in the Aurora is very smart. Why didn't it catch on?

[yummy1234098]

cruise control, refrigerator, tilt steering wheel, telescoping steering wheel, GPS, electroluminescent gauge cluster, the 1-inch light bulbs now LED's. all things tht were thought of then and we are just now getting them.......and some of them are options!!! and some dont even have them on there. if they were thought of in the 1960s they should be super cheap standard equipment!!!

[MrJoe2412]

And theres the GPS LOL

[MrJoe2412]

the 'Tilt Wheel' and 'Adjustable pedals'

WHY DID WE JUST GET THEM NOW!?!?

[yummy1234098]

@MrJoe2412 i kno right the idea dated back to 1960 and people are just now getting them in cars?!?! haha its crazy

[d0ugz24]

that wagon was very interesting, although get in a crash and everyone would probably be dead lol

[yuyusuck]

its a toy car at beginning

[flyguyviky]

Saabkyle04 brought me here

[walrustusks1]

They forgot to mention that the Aurora also doubles as a hearse!

[walrustusks1]

Nice music for sure....did it win an award?

[fbraggio]

How could they think in featuring GPS / sat navigation at those days ???

[fbraggio]

[leonarddaccardi]

allegro-mustinto; pintang= mustang, pinto kinda thing

[321hellman]

GPS WTF!!!

[Wolfytototito]

gotta love plastics

aurora looks is more like a boat than anything elese

[cobhcdr]

that station wagon was ahead of its time

[aggrobob79]

when you drive Mustang you'll turn into a field of galloping horse wildly tearing at the terrain

[1979cl1]

The Mustang concept and the Aurora wagon arethe ones got my attention and speaking of the Aurora, its huge for a wagon and almost SUV like with all the features that todays SUVs have regarding as televisions, adjustable seats, snack bars, navigators and all.

[jimmyreape]

love the sat nav in the auvora

[markhinr]

@jimmyreape I'm sure that wasn't really sat nav. There was no such thing as GPS (as we know it) at that time, except perhaps for military use, and the few satellites that did exist were for communications (international phone calls) and military use. But it would be interesting to know just how that GPS-like feature worked.

[markhinr]

@jimmyreape I found an article about the Aurora concept car on autoblog that stated: "the navigation system shown was nothing more than a fancy map holder that scrolled the paper as the car moved".

[MrJkelsh]

aurora is freakin sweet

[tyIerz06]

The 60's was the best decade for cars. Everything was beautiful, shiny, powerful, spacious, ect. Gas mileage, price, and the environment weren't that big of a deal. Now it seems everything is, and will be in the future, little cramped-in plastic econ-boxes with no real style or soul.

[markhinr]

@tyIerz06 Have you driven a car from the 50's, 60's or 70's? The public wanted a smooth, "luxurious" ride so cars were built with mushy springs, resulting in very poor handling, and the old bias ply tires only made matters worse. I know the old cars seem very cool now, but in reality, most of them were exhaust spewing rust buckets that were pretty much worn out by the time the odometer hit 100K miles. I'd rather have a new Toyota, even if they're not as cool looking.

[tyIerz06]

@markhinr I do agree that cars weren't nearly as reliable as they are now, but they didn't have the technological innovations we have today and they were making huge profit anyways to even worry about reliability due to almost no foreign competition. But still, I'd rather have a classic anyways because of the looks, power, sound, feel,ect. A new Toyota is basically a fridge on wheels.

[markhinr]

@tyIerz06 I agree with you that the old cars have a unique charm to them that you can't get with a new vehicle.

[tyIerz06]

That's what I loved about those days, cars in the future were sleeker and more beautiful, larger, more powerful while still using gas engines, and gas mileage and environment concerns didn't matter. Now it seems the future will be filled with ugly, tiny, plastic, electric things buzzing around with no soul. The 60's were the time for cars, then cars got revived back in the late 90's and 2000's but are now going back to being econ-boxes.

[gofastnowbitch]

this was a crazy video, but it is funny that almost everything in the video is now an option or factory in most vechiles. also have was their map going to track the cars travels, did FORD have an inside scoop on GPS in the 60?

[Jvsmoothlikegravy]

DAMN! that mustang 2 and the logo were soooo much better!

[Jvsmoothlikegravy]

does anyone know if its legal to create and weld parts onto a car and pretty much 'create' a new car on an old body?

[superman92801]

i wish they put these cars into production :/

[fjbutch]

Expecting Alfred Hithcock to mosey on out with the first car ....

[bradgotch]

LOL what would happen to that Family truckster if it got T-boned by a F250 swivel seat with no seat restraint good idea.

[mitopay]

Whoa, I remember pictures of the Aurora when they came out; I ached with the coolness of the car!

[djbot420]

Check this baby out!! Ever Cool:o)

[FordV8Guy]

Cool video!

[MultiAREE]

I think if the Russians copied the Mustang, this would be their version, only not in the 1960, but 1970

[pancakewafflebacon]

3:44 GPS!!! LOOOOOOL

[FREDANDERSON77]

Awesome !!!!

[itshammer]

no seatbelts..I wonder if accidents were in a lower rate back then

[Mechknight73]

The first concept car looks as if they ripped off a Volvo P1800, the second looks as if they pinched some cues from the '63 Corvette (who made theirs first?) and the Aurora wagon; although it has some really cool features, it's seriously ugly! Then again cars like the Edsel and the fairlane were ALLOWED into production, and they're even uglier in some ways

[Sanpedranoazul]

The first GPS, nice!!!

[MikeyMcCrashCap]

Thanks for the posting this vid! Loved it!

[dx3400]

it is like a rocket

[MrJonnathan2007]

Oh, man, i just love the Mustang Fastback 65 blue!!

[MrJellis2010]

AWESOME VIDEO!!

[edward12erm3]

what is the third one called

[edward12erm3]

first steering wheel was funny

[MrJacky04]

i really love this sountrack.

[Imaman93]

onanmann. why do you have to be such a faggot? no one (whose opinion actually matters) gives two shits about "environmentally sound engines" or "green fuels".

[onanmann]

Let's get that kind of styling, combined with environmentally sound engines and green fuels... and cool cars will take off again!

[wilkes85]

@onanmann enviromentally sound engines and green fuels?! lol faggot

[simonkanada]

wow!

[andrekkezero]

W T F with the sound...

[cathplyr]

that station wagon is da shit. i need one of those.

dont expect anything remotely that good looking to come from these idiots who design cars these days.

[jeepers2655]

cougar 2 was a model car. also the mustang2.....not the 70`s version......check ebay....i had one back in the 70s.....not sure where it went.

[jeepers2655]

the aurora wagon looks like the buick skylark of 65.......side view only

[Kaylow699]

oh man hopefully i can get one of these ones i graduate. :D

[robotmonkey73]

I love the music

[fixinggrace]

The Aurora is proof that not much has changed in the last 50 years.

[TwiztedAnimator]

The Station Wagon was kick ass! It even had a GPS!!

[jmisiur]

dont like stangs

[lawlers69]

I can see the billboard now

You can do 170 mph in one our cars SAFELY

[reneecalling]

Wow. I don't know what to say.

[Chudyk1986]

wow early GPS XD

[jamesoftexas]

ha the kid seats on the AURORA  kinda dangerous what if someone run in to the back of them

no more kids lol

[gardenvarietypenis]

exactly

[Arthurb06]

I WANT THAT AURORA CAR!

[SpeedDennis]

Omg some disign are realy scary LoL

Fun watching this !

Wow! Automatic casette player !

[mclifer]

Chrysler took some of those cues, Valiant front, Barracuda backlight.

[LukeWarm05]

Likely because Lee Iacoca was at Ford in the mid-sixties (when he created the Mustang) before he began running Chrysler.

[1986198619861986]

why does the 'cougar 2' look like the E-Type jaguar?

[WindsorFox]

It doesn't. It looks far more like a Corvette. The only resemblance is the grill and it's not the same shape.

[Sarcasticscum]

@1986198619861986

Because Ford Motor Company has owned Jaguar since the late 1950s.

[lawlers69]

Ford didn't buy Jag until 1989

[Sarcasticscum]

Really??? Are you sure?...

[lawlers69]

Yep

If you type in google "The Surrey Region JEC"

It will give you a history of who owned Jaguar in the 50's and 60's

[Sarcasticscum]

Oh, ok then. lol I was wrong!

[lawlers69]

No worries Mate

Cougar 2 is still a good looking car

Would like to know what happen to it

[Damian007a1]

Thankyou for uploading this..I really enjoyed watching it..
