As the title suggests, what's your favourite Ford TV Commercial of all time?
For any reason - be it funny or classy or just plain simple. Mine's the BF Mk II Fairmont Ghia - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XNkbkxi Awesome haunting music, stunning visuals... definitely my fave.

It was such a great ad for such a good car. I think it did great things for ford. I also like the incarnations of the ford ute adds. This one is good http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kd2m...om=PL&index=19 A few mistakes in it. I assumed that the add featured ford utes only. But in the scenes where they show the 2 blokes inside the XR8, if you look through the windows, you see other types of cars other than utes. |

Also, the Ford commercial where the kids is playing with the slot cars and the Falcon is that only one to stay on the track. |

From left field, but, if re-edited today, with current cars, might help Ford Australia immensely.

Does anyone here remember when the F series had a Landcruiser on its back and climed the hill and the commentator asks "now I would like to see the roles reversed". I think it was about 1981, it was brillant.

check this one out, from our beloved EFs.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mADTF...eature=related now if you redid that ad with a G6ET as the basis, modernise and update the script a bit, you'd be onto a winner. Oh and damn if that Fairlane didnt look half bad i reckon (mmm, makes me wonder for my next car.....)

Not a FoMoCo ad but it has a Ford (EB ED ?) and one of the best V8 drivers of the last generation and the late Barry Sheene as well!
Remember this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_5gW...eature=related |

Best Ford ad ever was from the mid 70s. It had a F150 going up a serious incline with a Tojo ute strapped to its tray doing it no trouble. Does anyone remember this one?
Cheers Steve |

it's almost as if the competition have gone for that theme and run with it to top sales while Ford are still wondering what happened, despite having a better product, years later. |

I doubt any Ford ad would surpass this one...
Play the clip about halfway down... Do you remember the ad? http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au...ifications.htm |
