Car commercials in the 1960s reflected a transformative era in the automotive industry and American culture. Here is a summary of car commercials from that decade: 1. Muscle Cars and Performance: The 1960s saw the rise of the muscle car, and car commercials often highlighted powerful engines, speed, and exhilarating driving experiences. Brands like Chevrolet, Ford, and Dodge promoted models like the Chevy Camaro, Ford Mustang, and Dodge Charger, emphasizing speed, sleek design, and raw horsepower. 2. Family-Friendly: Many car commercials in the 1960s targeted families, showcasing spacious interiors, comfortable seating, and safety features. Brands like Chevrolet and Ford promoted their sedans and station wagons as ideal vehicles for family outings, with an emphasis on reliability and convenience. 3. Glamour and Luxury: Luxury car manufacturers like Cadillac and Lincoln aimed to evoke a sense of sophistication and elegance in their commercials. These advertisements showcased features such as leather interiors, advanced technology for the time, and smooth, comfortable rides. 4. Freedom and Adventure: Some car commercials tapped into the spirit of adventure and freedom that characterized the 1960s. Convertibles, in particular, were depicted as vehicles that could take drivers on exciting journeys along scenic routes, often with upbeat music and carefree imagery. 5. Endorsements and Icons: Celebrity endorsements were not as common as they are today, but some car commercials featured famous personalities, such as race car drivers or Hollywood stars, to lend credibility and appeal to their products. 6. Technological Advancements: As the automotive industry introduced innovative features like power steering, automatic transmissions, and improved safety features, commercials highlighted these advancements to persuade consumers of the benefits of owning the latest and greatest cars. 7. Style and Design: Car commercials in the 1960s often emphasized the unique style and design elements of their vehicles. Manufacturers sought to distinguish their cars through distinctive body shapes, chrome detailing, and distinctive color options. 8. Nostalgia: Some car commercials played on nostalgia, harking back to earlier decades or celebrating classic car designs. This nostalgia was used to create an emotional connection with potential buyers. 9. Jingles and Catchphrases: Many 1960s car commercials featured catchy jingles and memorable catchphrases to make their products more memorable and appealing to consumers. In summary, 1960s car commercials were a reflection of the diverse and evolving automotive landscape of the time. They used various themes and techniques to captivate audiences, ranging from the allure of performance and luxury to the practicality of family-friendly vehicles. These commercials not only showcased the cars themselves but also captured the spirit and aspirations of an era marked by social change and technological advancement.

Yes they were elegant and held themselves to high esteem.
And they stayed in the kitchen and kept their mouth shuts. Ahh what a time
@@ThisOldCarChannel I’ve just subscribed to I agree the girls are prettier however the advertising experts were much cornier !🌽
They’re something rather satisfying seeing mint condition 60s cars! So much character. Something you don’t see today.
And the women were rather satisfying....so much genuine beauty.....something you don't see today. 😅
Amen brother. Sad all SUV's now. Boring!!!!!
Yep even the late 60’s cars were still fairly inspired by the space age! The 50’s and 60’s were the most aesthetically pleasing generation ever, when it came to almost everything!
Everything looks the same today and boring to be honest. All plastic and shaped the same. The only thing that has any pizazz are the lights, and even they just look like an expensive disaster to replace.
The other pain is that the plastic in the headlight lens eventually fog up and turn yellow.@@jerrycallo
Car manuals back then would tell you how to advance the timing. Now they warn you not to drink the coolant. I guess the car companies were paying attention.

@@mikeweizer3149 You beat me to it 😆
A parent could afford to stay home with the kids.
Wow, I still think 68 and 69 were Peak years for the Big 3 automakers! Camaro, Charger and Mustang were and still are breath-taking!
Including 1970,after that compression went down & smog control came in.
You can still buy those cars you mentioned today, just wish Pontiac was still here and you can get a Ford sedan today..
1970 Buick GSX 455 was the fastest car on the road in 70 they called it the Hemi killer, 450 hp, M20 close ratio or M22 4 speed, 3:63 Posi, perfect combination, to bad low production number, today one can fetch over $200,000.
......And many others too, And yeah not only did I remember all of those exciting rides but I had -have just bout all of em in my car collection right now.......There all a little smaller then the originals but they look just as sharp as the originals and some like their big brothers have gotten fairly expensive. I'm talking 'bout 1/64 scale Hotwheels spectraflame and redline cars that first started in 1968 and that's just the start there's 1/12,1/18, 1/24, 1/25,1/32,1/36,1/43,1/50,as well as lots of 1/64cars comming from Hotwheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lighting,Corgi,Racing Champions, Autoworld and a few others so sorry if I got long winded!!!! .
@@mikeweizer3149 How many 68 and 69 Hot Wheels and Matchbox cars do you have in your collection? I wish I still had all my original hot wheels!
I love the Ford commercials of the late 60's. Looking at those people in the commercials, it just proves how far society has fallen.
I have an entire playlist dedicated to 60’s car commercials. Not that the commercials were better back then, but the cars absolutely were.
Those commercials were not an accurate depiction of how society was. A commercial is a fantasy ideal depiction of society, not reality.
@@smitastic7030They are a reflection of society back then.
My god, women that looked like women
@@smitastic7030 baloney.
Who can forget Joan Parker, with the mini skirt and high white boots, for dodge. And this is coming from a ford guy. Funny, I don’t remember any Chevy commercials. These were cars that could carry 5 adults in comfort AND their luggage, with a full sized spare.
Dinah Shore did Chevrolet commercials.
Joan Parker had 2 gay sons. So sad.
Together in one commercial - AMC and 8 track tapes - both long gone. Seems appropriate. 😀
For some strange reason, I think I belong in this era. I feel completely out of place in the here and now!!
Hahaha!
I think many of us do, I lived this era. Sitting on the shaggy carpet in front of our new color TV. I was the remote control!
. We had channels 3, 9, and 12.
@richardmorris6365 I was also the Satellite locator device. I would turn the Antenna till Dad said WHOA!
I visited a car museum just yesterday and was fortunate to see many of these cars fully restored to their former glory. The 60's, 70's and 80's were a great time.
I don't know where you live. BUT November 18 and 19th is the Muscle Car and Corvette Nationals (MCACN). 500 + cars from the 60s and 70s, mostly factory stock. It's a good time for Car enthusiasts!
In Chicago
I bought a 69 Shelby GT 350 4speed manual untouched last year, driving it takes me back to times of optimism and freedom, not to talk about the still fresh white vinyl interior. Cant compare to any new car. Just love it.
Ok..That's cool!! i had a 69 Mach 1 and it was one that I loved the most and had so much fun! Fun inside and out..lol My Uncle, my aunts husband was a Indy car driver. He qualified for the Indy 500 2xs but never started due to mechanical issues but he had a new 1970 Yellow Boss 302. It was 1970 or 71, he put $10.00 on the dash and that was a lot of $$ back then and said when I say go you grab it and it's yours. I was hell yea!! He said go & he floored it!! I was pushed back in my seat fighting G-Force! lol That's when I was really hooked on fast cars and Mustangs..Two of my 2 best friends had 65 Fastbacks with wicked 289's..
I absolutely love how happy and cheerful those Ford commercials are!💙 and being a 20 yr old Native/Indigenous american who is a Ford person, i would definitely buy myself a ford galaxie 500!
People were happier, thru the 80s and 90s. People spoke to each other. Girls didn't freak out if a guy spoke to them, they liked the attention. I would gladly go back and stay.
Love the Ambassador "Red Carpet" commercial. That was the best to me.
I don't care how unsafe people say cars from the 60's are. I would rather die in a car from the 60's than live with a modern crossover.
How 'bout being crippled for life from an accident in a "car from the 60s?"
Just don’t take out anyone with you then please.
@@WAL_DC-6B the death numbers haven't changed.
@@svjim1 According to U.S. federal highway statistics, you were twice as likely to die in a vehicular accident in 1946 than you are today. "Happy Motoring!"
@@WAL_DC-6B I guess you don’t work in a hospital, in these times.
That mustang commercial music was reworked by Aaron spelling for "Charlie's Angels" 😇
And Charlie's Angels drove a Mustang II !
EXACTLY 💯
I love that 69 Ford music. Just captured the commercial vibe of the era so perfectly.
Enjoyed these. The Mustang/Laugh-In ad was my favourite. Maybe that's because my Dad had a "69 Mustang.
I loved the whole thing! I was 10 years old in 1965, and was already a mini Gearhead. I knew everything about all the Big Three brands and models. My favorites were from the Ford Motor Company and the Chrysler Corporation. I really liked Mustangs, in 1966 my oldest brother bought a new black on black Mustang, it had a 289 4 barrel carburetor, duel exhaust and a 4-speed manual transmission. All his friends had Mustangs. As soon as I graduated high school in 1972, I bought a used 69 Mach l. A 351 Windsor, 4 barrel Motorcraft carburetor and an FMX automatic transmission. It had power steering and front power disc brakes. I thought it was the best-looking car ever made, and I still feel the same way now. My parents owned a 69 Chrysler 300, 4 door hardtop with the famous Chrysler 440 under hood. A very cool and powerful car. I have only ever owned Fords, Mercurys and Lincolns, and l Ioved all of them. Thanks for sharing this car commercials from the late 60s. Please, keep them coming!
I am the same age as you. My 2nd car was a 72 Ford Torino not a grand just a plain Torino. But it did have a 351 Cleveland got my first ticket smoking the tires lol. Those were definitely the good ole days.
Nice selection. My dad had an Oldsmobile Toronado and mom had a Torino GT 390 with 4bbl carb I’m lucky to be alive. 😅
Some of my funnest times was when I was 17 in my dark red 69 Mach 1. It had a 351w, 4sd. I put in a better cam and at times a dual quad with carters, Hooker headers..Even changed out the rear gears for Fri and Sat cruising which I stopped due to the stress it put on the shock towers. lol I had a gorgeous blue eyed blonde that I eventually lived with.. It was great times..I loved the turn signals on the hood scoop.. One of many cars I would love to have back..sigh lol
When I was in HS in the mid '70s one of my best friends (from a Ford family) had a '69 Mach I 428 CJ 4 speed, red and black like the one in the commercial, with a shaker hood and rear window slats. He paid $2,000 for it in about '75. At the same time, being from a Chevy family I had a '69 SS 396 (L78) Camaro, full cam, 4 speed, 4:11 posi, etc. I got it in '76 for $1600. Just a couple of HS kids with future classics. We used to cruise the strip but mine was wound much tighter and was more ill tempered than his mostly stock CJ. It didn't like stop and go traffic much, which caused it to run hot, and it got only 4 mpg on expensive (46 cents a gallon) 100+ octane, so we'd make an occasional pass down the strip but usually just backed them into spots at one fast food joint or another along the strip and let all the girls in Pintos, Gremlins, and Mavericks cruise past us.
And yes, I know exactly what you mean. Out of the 40+ vehicles I've owned since then, that SS is at the top of the list of the ones I'd love to have back.
@@TS-ef2gv I love and probably would have seen you out cruising having fun! I also had a 71 Cuda that got totaled by a drunk woman and why I bought my Mach 1. I have always had a serious Girlfriend since the 3rd grade and man these cars just got me into more trouble. The Most fun and trouble I had I was 18 and had a Italian red Alfa Romeo Giulia - Spider. Girls would literately run up and jump in pushing another girl out of the way when we all decided to go cruising or a day at the river. When a Ferrari 308 gtb gave me a thumbs up and a pretty woman new Anchor waived I should have found a way to keep it. But cars were every where..It needed work and I traded it for a 68 Camaro Rs..sigh..lol You get it..
Was a kid during the sixties and remember some of these car commercials!! Then seeing them in neighbors driveways. Ended up having a 68 charger in the late 70s as my first car!! Some hot commercials for back then, especially the girl for the 68 charger commercial !! Probably my first funny feeling if you know what I mean😘 miss those days!!

Wow! Thanks so much for this video. I've owned a 67 Camaro, a 66 Chevy II and my father had a Galaxy 500. Watching this transported me back to my youth and so many fond memories!
"Handy door pockets", the predecessors of the ubiquitous "cup holders".
We didn't have a color TV, so it was nice to see these in color.
The Ambassador commercial was pretty imaginative.
Of all the cars shown, My favorite is the AMC Ambassador
Joan Parker, the Dodge Fever girl was one of my many 60's crushes.
Back in the mid 60's I was watching an old movie from the 30's on TV with my dad and when he saw a convertible coupe, he said that was his first car he bought when he got back from the war. I told him he should have kept because it would be worth a lot of money now. Which got me thinking about today's cars and thought they won't be valuable in the future. As you can see, I'm a bad prognosticator.
I was too young to remember these commercials but remember riding in my grandfather’s 66 impala coupe and my father’s 68 lemans and mustang coupe. Now that Pontiac has passed on I’d love to have my father’s lemans. Thank you for posting this!
All the commercials in the 60's were very cool and different from today. ❤❤❤😮😅😊😂🎉
Hey can you do a video on Joe Isuzu? Those commercials were funny 🤣
The Joe Isuzu commercials were awesome. Great suggestion.
Good idea!
Excellent! Let's have more of these, please!
Hi, nice video! As a 25-year-old, I can't help but notice how gorgeous the ladies looked back then - their hair, clothes, boots and charm are truly captivating!
That Camaro ..... on my bucket list to own someday
Such Imagination, upbeat, fun, young and all American. What great days! No SUV will ever capture that magic.
Great job, enjoyed seeing this. Can you make a pt. 2?
Make a pt?
Yeah, we want a part 2!
The days when you could just glance at a car and know if it was a Pontiac, Buick, Ford etc.
They all had distinctive looks that were unmistakable.
Now, you can't tell the difference between a Ford and a Toyota.
The last of the great American cars. No 5mph bumpers, no plastic crap, no catalytic convertors, Ethyl was available, only airbags on a car were backseat drivers, no check engine lights, and then the government got involved.....now we have million dollar Hemi Muscle cars, 100 thousand dollar GTO's and 69 Mustang's.
I turned 13 in 1960, I had no idea what an incredible decade lay ahead, it was a golden age for cars, but that was only the tip of the iceberg...
That CHEVROOOLET announcer was the BEST!!
These adds are such a contrast to the Audi ad I had to endure before these videos rolled.
I remember ALL of these beauties rollin' in the streets when I was no mo' than fo' yeas ol'...they were new but i was mo' fascinated by the '50s cars.
I had the slathering wanties for almost all those cars. It was a damn fine time to be a teenager!
Muscle cars, mini skirts and, uh….Viet Nam.
There was a Mercury commercial where a football player threw a pass through the back glass that rolled down. Loved that one. 😊
This was fantastic and love to see more!
‘Mach it to me’ that’s great. I don’t remember that one as a kid.
I'd love to have any of these cars now... beautiful
I owned a 1967 Ford Fairlane GT . It was metallic green with white interior 4speed with a center console , 390 . I have never seen one of like configuration. Either black , green , or blue interior . Few with 4speeds and consoles . I bought it used for $1607.00 .
Great commericials. A breathe of fresh air.
Thank you, Boca Brothers, for another fabulous video !
Thanks Steven. We can't tell if you're a subscriber but we think you are! THANKS SO MUCH!

Bought my first car in 1966. It was a 1964 Chevrolet Corvair Monza. Paid $625. My current car cost $84K. Inflation over 59 years plus so many more features. Love them both!
Great looking women in these commercials!
I still drive my car from 68 it's the closest thing to a time machine i can find.
I would love to have these files and many more to produce a video showing commercials from various countries during the same time periods.
Great commercials. I was in high school beginning late ‘68, living in Newport Beach in Southern California. So many of these vehicles were on the streets at the time (of course they were….they were new at then).
Currently I own a red ‘65 Thunderbird, great car!
Very joyful to watch! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Interesting how the car design changed so drastically from the 50's to the 60's.
Iacocca.
That's really an amazing change. The cars developed in the period a general design language the defies age.
Great video. Brings back the good ol' daze!
Awesome Video Thanks !
50s and 60s the best decades in modern American history despite all the problems.
As long as you didn't have to go to Vietnam!
i raise you the 80s...
@@ScottRossProductions America was a sh!thole by 80s. Crime corruption, Crack all over the place, with crack babies being born.
Hey Fellas, I always love your guys vids, thanks so much!
My first car was a 66' Mustang coupe with a 289, and after High School, I traded it in for a 69' El Camino with a 350. Half way thru college I got a 74 International Scout. Wish I still had all three
Some great commercials there; love the 60s style in every aspect; Plymouth had some of the best commercials in 67-69; hopefully you will get to those too;
That take-off of Laugh In was great. One of the clips I'll always remember is Arte Johnson peeking out from the brush and saying, ( in that accent) " veddy intellesting, but stupid." Lol!
Fun to reminisce.
👍👍Another Great posting guys .. The '60's - '80's were the best years for auto styling every car looked different not like todays cars.. Thanks Guys for taking us back and remembering the days of youth 😎👍👍🍻✌🖐
50s-70s.
The 80's were great if you liked boxes.
That’s super clean! Back in my younger days I bought a well used but well kept 87 Limited with Leather and the 307. That was one of the most comfortable cars I’ve ever owned. I left her mostly stock. Unfortunately the high mileage caught up with the transmission.
you mean buick regal limited ? 1987 buick had a 307.
Very good. You keep doing great videos every week. I enjoyed this video. As long as I have been on You Tube I have never seen those Ford commercials. That really sell the car. I saw Oldsmobile too. Thank you for the video and the effort. It is appreciated.
My favorite '60s car is the 1969 Camaro convertible. The first girl I had a crush on was a little blonde goddess who owned a black coupe with a white top and red interior. Both she and the Camaro were incredibly seductive.
And of course *the sweet 6 cylinder Mustang*
I was hoping you would have the commercial for the 1967 Chrysler, the one that’s been stuck in my head for the last 56 years..😂
I can still remember the new car smell of my Dad's 1969 Mercury Marquis with the 429CI big block.
He was a conservative Brit. So he surprised the hell out of me one day when he lit up the rear tires and left burnout ribbons for 50 feet down the road.
Joan Parker in the Dodge commercial 😍
Cool cars and commercials and that 'red carpet' with the Ambassador was creative. The girl featured in
the Dodge commercial is super cute :)
I love the Chevy commercials the best ! However they are ALL GREAT!
A nice trip down memory lane.
60s cars were all the rage but nothing tops the lugshurry of passing the grey pupon in a early 80s landow roofed Crysler LaBarron. Plus with a 90hp four banger doing 0-60 in just over 100 seconds its also a sleeper.
Great job as usual Boca, keep up the great and interesting content!!!!

Wow - what a ride!
When i was a kid i would ride my bike to the 5 car dealers we had and i collected brochures from 67 to probably 82. Saved them and kinda forgot about them for years. When we sold my parents house 10 yrs ago i was clearing out the garage and there they were. I think it was over 500 of them of each dealers muscle cars. Over the next few years going to car shows i sold them and that’s how i bought my 70 Chevelle SS 454 like new. Still have enough left to get a nice Super Bee or GTO, haven’t decided yet.
We had the same music for the Falcon Escort and Cortina in Australia around 68 and 69
'68 Charger, always my favorite.
Great video!
great cars...
I remember all of this oh so well! The cars the girls the music the entire culture a sensational America that once was!
Tune in tomorrow, same Bat time , same Bat station😂
My favorite was the AMC Ambassador ❤
Cars were hot and so were the young ladies....
"Those Were The Days,,,,
Yes they were.
Some Cream....
Back when there wasn't a speed limit in Nevada. I remember 120 mph on Interstate 80 when it had a single lane.
Favorite 60's car commercial- 65 Chevrolet with the casts of Bonanza, Bewitched and Man from Uncle!!! If only I could a less fuzzy video of it...
That Chevy commercial is on RUclips, it's a classic.
I was around in the 60s, but only one of these commercials looks familiar to me!
That was Great !
Excellent.A joy to watch the better saner days compared to today's garbage. To He*l with EVs and the blacked out chromeless look of today's electronic JUNK. Those beauties had artistic beauty.
Especially the Dodge girls in the 1970 commercials. A reason for buying a 1970 dart swinger in top banana yellow.
Nice to see my folks when they were teenagers....
3:00 They are using the Laff In TV show motif.🤣✊😝
yup!
I drove a 1963 VW Beetle and a 1969 Mercury Montego...I had a 1978 4-door Mercury Cougar for 22 years..
fabulous ads, wonderful cars, a better world i think despite the problems that did exist back then, beautiful, feminine girls, smart, masculine men and such beautifully styled cars, american cars always stood out in the classic era, they are dreadful now like all cars and many other things!
