Porky Hontas I had several family members and friends that owned those fords and many of them really were quiet rides!

My first car was a 1970 Ford mustang fastback 3514v 4sp ram air gold colored. It cost 1300 dollars in 1975. I still have it today. I was never interested in selling it because I knew it was a special car I now have had it completely restored and take it to car shows. The amount of people who crowd around it to look at it is amazing. The 70 mustang fastback is one of the best looking muscle cars ever made!

I'd LOVE to go back in time and buy a fully-loaded Torino GT!!!!

@InfiniteMushroom If you are talking to me, reply to me. The American auto industry was all but decapitated with EPA mandate of pollution controls (catalytic converters) and their lead free fuels (we are the government so up yours). Add to that impossible (how the hell do you make an engine run on half the compression with a carburetor) and the oil embargo (add 150% to the price of gas) and Americans got the junk they deserved for the next decade. President Reagan stopped the Communist, I mean Democrats, constant auto maker harassment with 10 years of letting the industry catch up with technology (computers and sensors). I watched a PBS special in 1983 which asked a Ford Motor executive 'why their cars were getting so expensive'? Sitting with them at the table was a UAW rep. The Ford guy looks at the moderator and says, "Because we pay the UAW $68 an hour." The Union dude jumped out of his chair and lost it. The Ford exec. picked up three stacks of records equal to about 3 feet and set them on the desk. "Ford is a publicly traded company and our books are open to the public. Our accountants all agree that with wages and benefits the average cost to Ford Motor Co. by the UAW is $68 an hour. Today, the left's precious cash cow (UAW) has completely destroyed the 3 U.S. auto makers. Not one of the foreign car makers presently building in the U.S. has any involvement with any unions. Ford pays out somewhere near a Billion Dollars a year to American Families who haven't worked for Ford in Decades. How 'bout that lesson...Comrade

We also contributed to our healthcare, United Auto Workers dues and paid huge taxes and could afford to purchase the vehicles we built. We set the standards for Non Union Shops who paid no Union dues but those same shops followed our standards to keep the unions out. Staffer Chemicals was a good example because their employees benefited without paying Union dues. Always noticed the same people who begrudged us making good wages usually drove foreign vehicles so why did they care. All German Auto Makers have Union representation.

The last commercial is an "Acid trip" LOL Far out man!!! LTD rocks!

I loved those days! 😢

We had one. The first car we ever owned with AC. Those were some good times.

The first commercial did an immitation of The Rank Orginsation which shows a man striking the gong. A friend I know has a 1970 Ford LTD coupe which has bucket seats and a center console. Car was from Vancouver Canada.

not gonna lie, these ads look peaceful

My uncle had a 1970 maverick with a boss 302 automatic in it.It could move along pretty quick.

Whats crazy is...I was only 4 years old but for some reason...remember some of those commercials.

Full-sized hardtop coupes 👍

I think 1970 is probably THE year for American cars. Second place is 1969.

I had two 1970 LTDs as company cars. Yes the first one was taken out the first day I had it with 107 miles on it. They were very nice road cars and the second lasted a long time..

It is a shame that 1970 was filled with such cacophony but Ford was quick to the rescue with the LTD! While the LTD did look sharp, I'd love to have one of those rarely seen Torino Cobras. Who needs quiet when you have a Cobra?

Wow memories! Though only 8 in 1970 I remember some of these commercials. I was obsessed with cars from the time I could sit on his lap & steer there 62 Galaxie 500 XL (which they tried to give me when I was 15 but no I had to have that little black 64-1/2 Mustang with the 260 V8. Decisions! Lol)! Now at 56 I have at some point owned every single car in these commercials & others not shown the best of which was, at age 16: a 1970 XL convertible. This car was slightly different than other XL's of that year as the original purchasers; a military family in Albany, Oregon had ordered the car custom which included a 429 CJ engine. I paid $500 for this car when it was 9 - 10 years old .. a one owner. Sadly the car was sold to me because of the death of the original purchaser :( It had been stored in their garage for several years. Like an idiot teenager I sold the car after only a couple years (my parents had been mentioning how my little car collection was taking over all the parking in the neighborhood. Some had to go). Had I known then what I know now that one would still be in my garage. Though I had not seen many it was only in recent years that I learned how rare this car was. If you have never seen one there are a couple you tube videos you can check out. At this age I think we have all said "If I had known then", Lol. My 2nd hobby was photography so you might guess how many printed car pictures I accumulated through the years! Unfortunately the death of 4 family members and the suicide of a significant other all in a one year period caused a nervous breakdown and the majority of those photos have been scattered to the wind. Later years loss of a storage (auctioned as I was getting married. Grrrr) caused even more photos to be gone to strangers. A precious few remain unfortunately most if these newer vehicles that my kids and grandkids will look back on and say ... if only I had that. Lol. I sit and type this in a 2000 Mercury Sable LS. I wonder: since the Mercury division no longer exists will this car have classic value and be sought after sooner than it normally would be? I bought this car 4 years ago because the seller only wanted $200. Hesitant because I had a couple bad experiences with Ford Taurus's in the past; figured at $200 may as well take a chance. In 4 years all I have had to buy repair wise is a thermostat and a battery! Its an amazing vehicle. Like all cars it has a couple quirks but please don't knock the Sable or Taurus until you get a good one!!! This IS a good one! God Bless and Happy Holidays to all! Dj Salem, Oregon.

The late 60s and early70s. The height of the Lee Iacocca era at Ford. Iacocca at heart was a salesman and he knew what the people wanted. From what I read, quality was an issue at Ford because the bean counters never wanted to invest in it and Iacocca felt that if quality improved, Ford could have taken more than the 23 percent of the market it owned and eventually overtaken GM as number one. Alas, he had a falling out with Henry Ford 2nd and the oil crisis and new government CAFE standards would end the big and powerful car era that Iacocca helped inaugurate. Ironically, he was the first to come out with a 5 year 50k mile warranty on new Chryslers. The warranty selling game has been replicated by Hyundai/Kia and Mitsubishi and anyone else who had a product people were sketchy about buying

It is cool. So is the 70 xl

Ford had beautiful model cars of all years and of all kinds. They also had great engines that were built to outlast on any roads. The problem with those cars is that the body and the sheet metal would start rotting out quickly because of the salt on the roads, during the winters. Unless they were quickly treated against the rust, the trimmings would start falling off, after a couple of years. Nowadays, you see Ford cars in most antique classic car shows, that even look much newer than when they initially came out of the factory, back in the olden days. In fact the cars look much better. That’s because they were well restored with super anti rust proof treatments and shiny expensive paint jobs. No wonder they said that Ford was a better idea car. Lol! Thank you. Johnny, Montréal, Canada 👍😀✔️
