My God, that was a mid size car? Looked like a boat. Huge.

You can ALWAYS tell when a clump of commercials come from a SPORTS broadcast : TIRE / GAS / OIL commercials , and NO commercials for ladies or kids.

Very good commercials from December 30, 1973!!

Every now and then, I often post how much I wish I was living in the late 1960's through the late 1970's.... but then Johnny Cash reminds us all of how very real the gas/energy shortage was. :(

Late reply but, yeah, the energy shortage yrs WERE rough. But then again, I remember sev yrs before when stations would have gas wars. People would eagerly await the lowest price a station would go to get(keep) your business! Even for a kid who only needed a gallon to mow afew yards. hey, a couple cents was a couple cents.

A Ford maverick, don’t see many of those around anymore. Cheap transportation and people drove them into the ground. Way better then the pinto. Around the 7 minute mark for STP.

The Ford Pinto, my dad told me it's a "Claymore mine with wheels". And Colombia no longer grows tobacco, just thought i'd share that with my fellow KZreadrs.

There was a bit of a design flaw that validates your dad's concerns about the Pinto. When in a severe rear impact accident, the fuel filler neck would push through the bottom of the tank and spill fuel onto the hot exhaust.
