First Mustang Commercial 1964

[stangdude360rs]

can you believe that car started it all

[TheLizardKing1967]

The 64 1/2 thur 1966 Mustangs rode like a two horse wagon.

I might be restoring a 1964 or 65 mustang sometime soon. I don't know if it's standard or automatic, but I know it's a hard-top. I kinda wish it was a convertable :(

[lennymahoney]

@jetlag51 I'll sell you a fully restored 68 convertible when I'm done with it :D

[jetlag51]

@lennymahoney Too young! Can't beat an original :)

[GeorgeVreelandHill]

Love that car.

I believe the first Ford Mustang went on dealer showroom floors the same day the 1964 New York World's Far opened.

[mrpitv]

@altfactor I think you're right. This commercial was shown simultaneously on all 3-networks, there were only 3 at that time, and made quite a splash.

[Sidewinder428]

This is NOT the first Mustang commercial.  A good one however.

[Sidewinder428]

[mrpitv]

@Sidewinder428 I've always thought this was the first. Can you point us to the first? This was the one that was shown on all 3 networks the night before the Mustang hit the showrooms. There may have been some teaser spots done but Ford says this was the first Mustang commercial. Please let us know what you find or have heard.

[OhGawDuhhh]

I love my '07 GT. She's my second 'Stang and I don't plan on driving anything else for a loooong while.

[TAHITI1967]

my late sister had a 1964-65 mustang gt convertable back in the early 80'.it had factory driving light on the front grille. was candy apple red withe black interior, and had the 289-v-8 w/ auto. it was a sweet car

[TANOFTZ]

I hate living in ohio all the stangs for sale here are either all rusted out or supped way up because of Norwalk's Summit Motor sports park drag strip

[azthundercloud]

a friend of mine has the #400 production mustang. no rust and all original. arizona car its whole life.

[countryboy44555]

I'm going to see my Ford dealer today!

[crackerHero]

aaahhh the 60s great music nice cars good fashion retro style and NO FAT CHICKS

[kungfuninja55]

@crackerHero DAMN SKIPPY

[crackerHero]

@kungfuninja55 my dad used to watch that as a kid lol

[killdrone999]

I love this commercial along with many of the other mustang commercials. I have to disagree with dacleuv on one thing. I own a 1978 Mustang 2 and it is a beautiful car. Also I have a 1992 5.0 and a 1998 GT 4.6 liter.

[singinjohnny]

Very smart marketing on the part of Ford being that the largest birthrate of "boomers" of the post WWII era were turning 18 in 1964. I rememeber the New York World's Fair of 1964-65 as if it were yesterday. This film is just beautiful! Yes, it looked just like that in living color, not crappy black & white.

[davleuv]

The '64.5 to '73 mustangs were the best. '74 to '93, which was the mustangII all the way through the foxbody era, were ugly. '94 to '04 was a little better, but not too much better. The car became great again in '05 and the 2010 mustang looks just as good if not better than the '05 to '09 mustangs.

[Lanceisabeach]

Wow Love it! I had and (old) 65 convert and a 66, I wish I had just kept them

[classicrockhead1969]

hAHA! i WISH i COULD TEST DRIVE ONE RIGHT NOW! xD

wHAT A GORGEOUS CAR!

[WarsOfHell]

and now this became a mexican car =( so sad a american legend dead by mexicans

[bluoval96]

@WarsOfHell You don't know what you're talking about. They've been building Mustangs in Michigan, USA since 1964.

[guitarded78]

lee Iacocca did a great job on coming up with this

[mrpitv]

rusted or not, it's great to keep these classics on the road.

[marble97c]

@mrpitv so very true! i remember i road a 1967 shelby gt350 when i was 9 or 10 around virginia international raceway and i'll never ever forget it! true american muscle

[Golfer93Pro]

all the dam sub frames are shot to hell on 60s mustangs here in michigan, dammm road salt !

[mrpitv]

I know, that's one of the things I noticed when I moved back to California from Michigan --- all of the 60s and some 50s cars that were still on the road. No rust. Road salt is rust's best friend. But it brings people back to the dealerships every few years to replace their rusted heaps.

[imercana]

@mrpitv If you wash the car often(especially the rear bumper) you can avoid rusts a great deal. I have a 1971 Ford Pinto that's still in good condition. The shape kind of looks like the Mustang a little bit but it's smaller. I customized it and it now has 471 horsepowers. I always drive it on the weekends.

[gentil79]

@Golfer93Pro don't blame the salt! people don't wash their cars properly and don't use undebody wax.

[mrpitv]

so true and still so cool.

[MrPaladin123]

and in '68 Steve McQueen used a fastback in BULLIT and the reast is history!
