Mel Farr Superstar Detroit Ford 1980s

[bluenickels]

it's a Farr better deal. Well, maybe in the early 80's. I'd like to think Mel wasn't in on the dirt at the end of the Farr car dynasty but I'm just an old softie.

[clarkfk]

Hahaha that cape didn't save him from court when he got in trouble for dirty dealing!

[4evernluv1]

OMG.....Mel Farr the rip-off star.

[TLCIK55]

For anyone who's curious, the music in this commercial is "New Realm March" by Ivor Slaney, from the DeWolfe Music Library.

[MooseNut12]

A very competitive 19% financing on that sweet Mustang, I'll take 2

[MACpro58]

This idiot cost Ford Credit so much money they finally took his dealership. That's hard to do as a minority dealer.

[AutopsyReport22]

@MACpro58 I bet he was an idiot, too. I'm sure he was stealing money under the table and charging outrageous financing. Mel 'Crook' Farr.

[MrMg0918]

Does anyone remember "Get on the right track to 9 mile and Mack" the Roy O'Brian commercial?

[MACpro58]

@MrMg0918  Yes they revived it in recent years, that dealership is still there.

How 'bout "Gene Marollis what a great great guuuuyyyy..."

[AutopsyReport22]

Anyone on here remember this, 'Walt Lazar, chevrolet, is the super super dealer'.

[battman275]

@AutopsyReport22 thanks for bringing that back up< it was great

[battman275]

@AutopsyReport22 i tried to look up that video, im sure you know its not out there

[gjs78]

Those cars in the commercial look so faded; they look like they were 10 years old at the time this commercial was made

[sav0320]

Sweet, I saw a million of these commercials growing up.

[chemistryguy]

Never mind...someone finally posted it a month ago

[chemistryguy]

I have yet to find a copy of "here dog, come on dog" that used to play Detroit side as well. Is there anybody out there with this on VHS?

"Goin' to Telegraph Road....right now...getta good deal"

[InsertName125]

@chemistryguy

You just clicked a switch in my brain that hasn't been turned on for over 20 years.

I LOVED THAT COMMERCIAL!

What's it called? I'm looking for it right now.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY!

[AutopsyReport22]

[GTBurns48215]

One of our great Black Superheroes.

[westcoasthaase]

Superhero why, not because he is black.

[MelanieLouM]

[LeonardSkyward]

GREENFIELD AND 10 MILE! Detroit TV in the 80's was the shit!

[zekal10]

only Mel Farr can save the Big 3

[Motownbrother]

This was when TV reflected the distinct personality of the city, and its people.

[InsertName125]

I miss those days desperately.

[Motownbrother]

Giving Television programming back the cities, may be one way of revitalizing the local economies, and promoting creativity in the communities again. Shows like the Scene did a lot to help keeps kids of the streets and out of trouble. I remember almost racing home just to see how many of my friends were on the show each week.

[mcgibbos]

I loved the Mel Farr ads. And who remembers the billboards!!! They were AWESOME!

[n9neether]
