1960 Ford Commercial Burl Ives Voice Over?

This is another one of the Wonderful World of Ford Commercials for 1960. This sounds like Burl Ives doing the voice over. The ad features a retrospect of cars from Ford from it's then 57 year history. It's a very nice recap. You can't quite see the new Fords as they won't be introduced until later. This was a Teaser Commercial of thing yet to come for 1960.

after four years here, we still don't have agreement....I still think this is Burl Ives.

@OldcarsNmusic Sir, I do not have a hole, and I do not crawl. However, I do have a sense of humour which is always engaged when I receive a reply such as yours from people such as you. Merry Christmas.

@Motorfordtoyota Close, but no cigar; they were introed 10-08-59. 10-08-60 would've been when they broght out the '61s.

@voidmansions Can you disagree without being disagreeable? If not, crawl back into your hole and forget to come out until you can. I don't think it is Burl Ives but it may well be.

Not Burl Ives.

But I do believe this voice has been featured in some animated cartoons .

That is definitely Burl Ives. I am unable to harbor any doubt of it.

There's no mistaking the way he forms his words, the tone and pitch of his voice, the depth and limit of his breath, his signature nasal quality, and the expression in his delivery.

All his vocal "finger-prints" are there, with not one stray sound or note to betray imitation.

IIRC the "Model T" designation was essentially retroactive. When new, they were simply called "Fords." Hence the "Model A" was not the first Ford. Model T is sort of like "Coke Classic" in that it refers to something that, at the time, was simply called "Coke." Very entertaining short BTW.

It's not Burl Ives...and there's a good chance it isn't ANYONE famous, honestly.
