1960 Ford car commercial

These are gorgeous cars - the Galaxie, Thunderbird and Falcon. And the Falcon got up to 30 MPG! Dig those women's fashions, too - you almost expect Jackie Kennedy to step out of the car.

Cant believe 1960 was 50 years ago!

I love cars. This is cool.. Brings back memories of dads new Galaxie and moms white T-bird. I remember the day when these beauties were new and parked in the driveway . Cars were glamorous back then. and yeah, can't believe that was fifty years ago. Whew!!

Wow! 1960 Ford cars.The 1960 full-size Fords abandoned the ostentatious ornamentation of the 1950s for a futuristic, sleek look. Cool!

There were not "falcon 4's" but there were plenty "ford 4's". you follow?

My parents had a 1960 Fairlane. Ran well, so far as I can remember. What's interesting is that according to what I've read, the full sized 1960 Fords were actually too wide by about an inch or so and the feds let them slide but Ford corrected the issue for the 1961 cars.

i first saw this ad on a cd-rom before there was youtube.

Nothing black about this commercial. Even the cars are all white.

[TheLizardKing1967]

You can have any color, as long as it comes in white. LOL

There were no 4 cylinder Falcon sold in the United States, they were 2 six cylinders to choose from, years later you coould chose a V/8 but not a 4.

I have a 1960 Galaxie pretty much identical to the one in this ad, except for color. Mine is Indian Turquoise.

I like the 60's Ford! The Falcon had a 144 cid and a 170 cid engines, both six cylinder. In 1963 they went to a 200 cid 6 and a 260cid v-8. My friend in the military had a 1960 with the 144 engine. He was getting 35 mpg.

Yes the Falcon got 30mpg, even more depending on the driver. We had a 1960 Cadillac Fleetwood series 60, 390 cubic inch 345 horsepower with every option avalible then. It got 18 mpg on the highway excellent for a 5400 pound monster! No Air Bags, No anti-lock brakes, No computers, just a perfectly safe car!
