Ford Escort & Falcon (Australian ad) 1973 (version 1)

Ford Escort and Falcon commercial from 1973. This commercial used the slogan "Going Ford Is The Going Thing". This commercial has some awesome psychedelic visual effects and is done in two tone colour, presumably colourized from a B&W videotaping, and this was before we had colour, guess the advertising agency had some money to spend to make this ad. This is a fine example of trippy 70s video effects.

Wish i still had my mothers escort rusted reliable beater but dam i loved that car loads of character, i would still have it and be driving it if the rear axl never fell of, that car went thru hell in its 40 plus years. i doubt my 99 Falcon will ever ever live that long. i had the car for 7 year i am now 23. it was just to rusted to repair though it was like that when i convinced my mum to sell it to me for 2 grand.

Was that what I think it was!? I recognise the jingle from an Escort ad where the song was performed by a female, but I had no idea Ford did an ad like this during the XA Falcon era.

Blimey! Bare boobies and all, for an Escort in 1973? Well, I never!
