Nice simple Ford advert

[2011G6E]

This is a little advert that a guy emailed me from a dealership in the USA.


Nice, simple, clever, and in a few short words reminds people how long the company has been around.

In before "Shoulda put a Falcon there!"...if they did the advert here, they could use any Ford (most likely the highest selling model), as "Ford" doesn't just mean "Falcon".

[Lukeyson]

that is pretty cool, nice and simple

[DJM83]

Love it.

[Pepscobra]

I like, bring it over here I say.

[2011G6E]

I honestly hadn't even thought that it was 110 years...Harley Davidson makes a huge song and dance about how long they've been making motorcycles, and it's a wonder that car companies don't do the same.

[Wretched]

Brilliant.
Well Ford did make a bit of a hoo har when they turned 100 years old in 2003.

[Polyal]

Ill raise you good and show awesome.

Yep. Ford Fiesta (all models) = P plate Girl's car now. Doesn't matter if Kent Block tries to make them seem cool.

What I don't like about the above photo/ad is that it doesn't tell me how many facebook friends I can visit on one tank of fuel.

a 600bhp Fiesta isn't kool, ok.

Love how people pull the wee wee out of this ad. Some people are never happy.

Exactly. Unless you're 18 and looking to go to a bieber concert in your platform wedges but can't drive in them.

Way to take my post out of context.

When I first saw that my orange juice came out my nose when she said "and there's plenty of room for babies" or something like that, for a myriad of reasons.

Great simple ad.

Its a no brainer for the last model Falcon next year, an XK chopped into the FH and "Thanks For The Great Ride Australia" across the bottom.

Just because they pumped the guards to fit extra 6inch heels and revlon lipsticks in doesn't make it better for most people on this forum

i'd like to see you say that to Ken Block himself.

no more seemingly insecure posts about smaller cars being so upsetting for people, grow up or head that way -->

Cut it out. Lets get this thread back on topic.

If all you lot are such marketing geniuses, head on down to Broadmeadows and save the Falcon for me. Let me know what they say.

Sure did sonny , they were the BLACK ones

Too much advertisement for ford Australia, someone might get confused and think they want to sell a falcon.

[Polyal]

Who is to say that add wasnt use in other ways?

And Stevz Ford has a very proud history of small cars globally and I believe the market share for them in the US is actually growing aswell.

"Remember everybody, always hoon responsibly" Love it!

DJM83, all Ford need to do is throw the Fez ST interior in that...and take my money damn it!

I think that may be too technologically advanced for many forum members here.
too many gadgets...for god sake it has a steering well, reins should be good enough...and lights? bah who needs them...moonlight should be good enough.
