=============================
Description of Ford Mustang taken from Wikipedia "The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from April 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobiles known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of imitators. It was initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale the following year. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang, sharing its underpinnings with the Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment."
Obviously, I do not own this content. I repost it as a ongoing museum and tribute, a testament to the greatest generation in automobile manufacturing history, EVER.

![Super Rare 1961 Ford Commercials [Restored to HD]](/img/1.gif)
Never before was I able to understand what adults were saying in the Peanuts comics until this advert from 1962,
Waaaa waaaaa.
@@chasbodaniels1744
Waaaaay waaaaay waaa?
Funny, because Paul Frees might have been one of the best our country has ever seen...
Waaaaa waaaaa
Waa waa waaaa?
(This was real?)
These animations by Bill Melendez convinced a documentary producer named Lee Mendelson to hire him to do some interstitial animations for a documentary about the Peanuts comic strip titled _A Boy Named Charlie Brown._ The documentary was never released, but it was the start of the collaboration between Mendelson and Melendez to produce several animated Peanuts TV specials, beginning with _A Charlie Brown Christmas._
Great info. Thanks
"There are times when being right is just not enough." Amen Charlie!!! LOL
Your right about that alright
@@joshuahallam4817 And that's his right, right?
Funny how they actually animated Linus with glasses since for a few months in 1962 he had to wear them in the comics. Gotta love consistency!
I wonder why he stopped wearing them? In real life he would've had to wear them for the rest of his life unless he switched to contact lenses. But what eye doctor would let an eight year old kid wear contacts?
According to the official Schulz Museum’s site he stopped drawing them because “Sparky explained that he stopped putting glasses on Linus because it interfered with the expression lines he could give him. Compare how Linus looks with the glasses to how he looks without them, and you’ll see how it affects his look”.
I was 4 when my dad bought a shiny new dark blue 1962 Ford Falcon station wagon. That was a cool car. In 1967, he sold it and bought a dark green Ford Ranch Wagon station wagon.
Thanks for sharing 👍
station wagon
"cool"
LOL
@@tim3172 Not "Bling" or "Premo luxury" cool lol. It is not something that is easily understood by people who love modding their civic or saxo runaround.
This type is the well off family man style, who actively show affection to their families by spending time with them and who we know will not die alone and would be missed. It indicates a type of maturity and coolness associated with being in almost total control of one's life.
My mom drove a white 1962 Ford Falcon 2 door deluxe with the little washboard trim panel behind the rear wheels,, manual steering and brakes, Fordomatic, and dealer installed air conditioning because we were in Houston, excellent car,, she had it from 62' thru 73'..
Wow, your Mom was obviously a “lively person” to be tooling around with AT and A/C like that.
@@chasbodaniels1744 Lol,, yeah we were really living large !

@@andrewwilliams9887 In 62' it was $270.90 installed in a Falcon.
That was big bucks,, lol,, I can see my dad biting his lip !! lol
Put a new body on it it was called mustang
What surprises me about these ads is the fact that they already had a pretty good foundation for how the Peanuts should be animated, but the 6-month production schedule on A Charlie Brown Christmas made it more limited, but as the specials got off the ground, the animation got to where it looked like the ads but got even better as time went on.
Same with the voices. I was expecting them to be jarringly different from the established ones...
Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven.

I've never had the fortune to drive one, but the early 60's Ford Falcon seems like the most perfect car ever made. Great styling while being modest and functional, yet nothing sacrificed.
My grandpa bought one of these in 62. I was sitting in the backseat no seatbelts back then. Grandpa got pissed at Grandma slammed the brakes and I hit the inside of the windshield.
There is a guy in my town who is driving a '62 Ford Falcon sedan that he bought new in '62 when he was 18. It's the only car he has ever had and he has done everything to keep it going(constant rust patching, rebuilding the engine, many repaints etc.) but that old car is still on the road.
Ford built these in Argentina right up until 1991! It's still common to see these over there today.
I remember seeing lots of those driving around southern Brazil during the summer, back in the eighties.
My dad worked for a time in the 60s at Ford motor Argentina, they lendet him a green Falcon since he worked as a supervisor for accounting department loved that car I was 8 years old.
I'm pretty sure they got all the panel stamping and engine casting dies from the Ford factory's in Australia when they moved on to a newer series of Falcon that was then designed in Australia.
Australia kept developing new model Falcons up to the last one made in 2016!
I think eight or nine generations of body generations.
This early first body type was replaced by 1964 in Australia.
Argentinian here, yup.
Until 1991 with minor re-styling obviously
Our first family car in 1965 was a grey XK Falcon (Australia) very similar to these models. I had the job of washing and polishing it, and my favourite part was the big chrome hood ornament like a flying falcon.
I was three years old in 1962. Looking at the Falcon, no seatbelts no head rest, how did I survive those years? Charlie Brown should’ve given Lucy one to the kisser a long time ago! 😲
I wonder too! I was four in '62, and during a family vacation to Jamaica that December, we were being driven cross-country in a 1959 Cadillac limo, when a stake-bed truck had lost its brakes coming down a steep mountain road. Hit us head-on; I was looking out the back window at the time, and recall just being jolted forward, and rebounding off the back of the seat in front of me, to the floor. None of us, except the driver, were hurt, who went into the windshield; had a concussion...How DID we survive, indeed!
My brother's first car was a 1961 Ford Falcon which he bought on the Fall of 1963.
It had the smaller 6 cylinder
(144 cid/85 hp) 2 speed Ford-O-Matic.
I was eleven when he purchased it. At the time his best buddy made the comment after he drove it....
"It will do 0 to 60 in two days".
I never forgot that.
My brother's next car was a 1967 Mustang GT fastback with a 390 cid/335 hp and a 4 speed stick.
It was a tad quicker than the Falcon.
A piece of tv history saved. The narrator is a famous voice. I believe he is also the one who's voice on some ride(s) at Disneyland, Anaheim.
It’s Paul Frees
Fun fact. I had to watch two commercials before I could watch a video about 59 year old commercials.
3:18 If you stop on the right frame, you can see Lucys' fist make great contact with poor ole Charlie Browns' face.
i paused that too
The Falcon's platform ran from 1960 until 1980. It was stretched, shrunk and otherwise twisted into: The Ford Falcon (Natch!) The Frontenac, (Canada), The Mercury Comet, Ford Fairlane, Mercury Meteor, Ford Mustang, Ford Ranchero, Ford Torino, Mercury Montego, Mercury Cougar, Ford Maverick, Ford Granada, Mercury Monarch, and Lincoln Versailles. Whew! (And this is Just the North American market!). I'd say it was a successful platform!
WOW!.Just….WOW!.Didn’t know Ford used this platform in so many of their cars!.And I’ve owned many of these cars and wasn’t aware of this,lol.
So I guess this was the REAL first peanuts television debut, Really cool how you found it!
Bet Charles Schultz got a healthy paycheck for THAT little effort.
Voiceover by Paul Frees
These ads were usually seen on "HAZEL", sponsored by Ford on NBC from 1961 through '65- and her summer replacement that year, 'THE LIVELY ONES".
Paul Frees, announcer.
Linus is wearing glasses in the second ad because that was during a period in the strip (1962) he regularly wore them [his ophthamologist told him that summer he didn't have to wear them all the time].
There was also a brief period in the strip where Sally wore an eyepatch.
Yes, during November and December 1965. "Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!" 😟
I loved Hazel, one of the best shows on TV ever, I still watch it now on the oldies channel. The show was a bit of a commercial for Ford, even Harold had a Thunderbird pedal car.
My dad had a Falcon when I was a kid, he ended up selling it to a guy years later who dropped in a 351 Cleveland and man would that car shit n' git.
Mustang was this car with new sheet metal.
My aunt had one, great little car. And if I'm not mistaken, she had a Mercury Comet at some point too. I liked that one more, it was a cooler looking car! 👍
The Comet was the natural "upgrade" from the Falcon.
These ones are really cute. I like them, plus the animation is really good too.
I raced our 170 hp V8 Chevy wagon against a friend's 101 hp Falcon. The Chevy was barely faster. Of course it weighed about 1,200 lb more!
Produced at Playhouse Pictures under the supervision of J.C. "Bill" Melendez
Hence the fact that they were later animated unchanged for the 1965 Christmas special.
My first car was a 1962 Falcon Futura, light blue with the black fabric roof. It was a hand-me-down in 1969 and had been pretty well used. It burned oil like crazy, but the styling and interior was perfect for me heading off to my sophomore year of college. I still recall an old Falcon Futura ad with a woman singing "Hey, Look Me Over" with lyrics about the Futura.
Narrated by Paul Frees
That's Paul Frees narrating these commercials. I also noticed this must have been the New Yorker cast of Peanuts.
I know Schultz wasn't above selling his character's images for merchandise but these are a bit crass even for these days and him.
Paul Frees narrates!
I've seen a few of these before.
I am going to upload it to the Paul Frees Facebook group like I have some of the others.
I knew that voice was familiar
@@knytrydr73 in the 60's and 70's it was hard not to hear him.... he was almost everywhere.
His only son is a friend of mine. Fred Frees does an especially good Ludwig Von Drake impression.
We had a 62 black 2 door and manual transmission. No carpet. Radio only pulled in WABC 770 AM. We weren’t lively enough for the automatic or the bucket seats. We sold it in 1969 when my father traded up to a 69 Galaxy 500 demo car. At least it had a 302 V8. No AC and the radio stopped working in 1973.
That was a great station to be limited to.
I don't see how bucket seats are supposed to be "lively". How is your woman supposed to snuggle with you with that stupid console in the way?
@@jn1mrgn Back seat.
My great uncle Kirk French's mom had a 1961 Ford Falcon Sedan. If he survived being born, he would have got to ride home in one.
These are the first animations of the characters. The voices are not the same as were used on the iconic Christmas special and subsequent films.
It is interesting to see that the animation of all the characters is unchanged on the Christmas special.
Whenever comic strips go to cartoon the animation is usually horrible and recycled because the characters weren’t drawn by an animator or with animation in mind.
Same goes for Archie, Garfield, and lots of others that did or tried to make a similar transition.
From what I found first time was in the 1960 Ford Falcon commercial.
@@julienielsen3746 The important thing is that the characters from an animation standpoint arrived fully formed from whenever their first appearance was.
And, that the characters were animated without change again in 1965.
I was thinking that there ere before their TV specials; thanks for the confirmation. Very cool to see.
Lowest priced six passenger car? I thought that might have been the Studebaker Lark.
Always nice to see the Peanuts gang in action!
It was the Studebaker Lark I believe.And the Lark was nicer looking to me.
Base price on a '62 Falcon was around $2,050.00, A '62 Lark base price was around $2,800.00 Seems like a small difference but in '62 it would have be a HUGE difference. Granted, One might be getting "more car" with the Lark, as it really was just a shortened "real" Stude, Not a nickel and dimed from the start "compact". And from the start, Studebaker had the hotter top engine option as well: a 289 cid mill with 210 HP, Falcon's hot option in '62 was 260 cid mill with 174 HP. Ford WOULD later add some ballsy motors along the way (and turn the Falcon into the Mustang), But in 1962 I probably would have went with the Stude because I have a feeling (Was just born in '62 so I can't REALLY rate them as they were when new) the Studebaker was likely a bit more substantially constructed Plus being built with a proven chassis and power train, Any "bugs" were already worked out on the Lark long before '62. But there is no denying that in the long term, The Falcon was a good long term platform for Ford (even if the Plymouth was the BEST of the "big three's" compacts of the early '60s).
@@leedaniels7196 The Falcon WAS cheaper, But at least from '60 to '62 - The Lark may have been a better option, Esp. for a more...Err "spirited" driver. Studebaker DID know how to make hot "smallish" cars! See my reply to the O.P.'s comment for my breathless details.
These commercials were perhaps the first animated use of the Peanuts characters.
From what I found first time was in the 1960 Ford Falcon commercial.
@@julienielsen3746 was that the younger years of the gang? My sister's books from the 50s they were drawn much younger. Like rugrat age of 4. Linus was drawn like Rerun later was. Snoopy was a puppy.
Just wondering what year they grew.
I remember we had one for a while. I want to say it had a white steering wheel. I thought that was cool when I was a kid. It didn’t have a/c but neither did a lot of cars back then. Come to think of it our home didn’t have a/c either. How did we survive???
It wasn't as hot back then.
We weren't pansies back then.
@@mikekokomomike So true Mike.
People did not sit on their butts in their houses back in those days , they worked for a living .
@@Kinann Yeah right? I remember plenty of hot summers. Lots of fans. 460 AC, 4 Windows down, no seat belts going 60 mph down that carefree highway.🤣🤣🤣
El Falcon fué muy popular en Argentina, se fabricó por muchos años con diferentes rediseños pero siempre basados en el original; también fué tristemente célebre por protagonizar los secuestros de personas durante el terrorismo de Estado.
Los dibujitos están fantásticos, me recuerdan mucho a nuestra "Mafalda". ¡Saludos fraternos!
Es cierto, esa 1a generación del Falcon fue la que se siguió fabricando (con modificaciones) hasta la década de los 1990's. Uno de los coches mas icónicos de Argentina.
Saludos desde Puerto Rico (mi padre tuvo un 2a generación del 1964 con motor 2.8L I6)
@@syxepop Saludos, amigo!
Tuve un 1965 durante 20 años hasta que me lo robaron, parte de mi se fue con el 😢
Please turn on the subtitles and prepare yourself to laugh out loud when the guy say the name of the strip.
Right! 😲🤦♂️
My family travelled across the USA , in this little car. Love those memories , Dad...thanks. God Bless You ...
SEATTLE 1962... A great time.
My Dad drove his wife and 3 kids from Ohio to the Rockies and back in a '63 Falcon. Wow.
The base price for this car was under $2,000. Let that sink in.
Yea, but the minimum wage was $1.15 an hour back then.
My first car was an Australian built 1962 sedan with a 170 cubic inch 6 cylinder engine. I still have fond memories of it! The first two models of Australian built Falcons were very similar to the Canadian built cars.
I had one. I miss that car.
Charlie, You BlockHead! You could of had a 62 Olds JetFire Turbo V-8 with the special Rocket Fluid!!
And broke it before you get on the street 😁
3:33 "The Making of A Charlie Brown Christmas" brought me here.
Oh my gosh they gave Linus his glasses! I don’t see that animated much!
The Ford Falcon has come and gone, but the Peanuts characters are still popular.
For now till it gets cancelled by libs.
In the 1962 commercial, Charlie Brown from Peanuts was voiced by Peter Robbins and Linus from Peanuts was voiced by Katey Sagal.
The Katey from Married With Children?
Holy cow. This is a great commercial!
Dad had a 64 Australian Falcon,slightly different to the American. 250 six and 2 speed auto,white steering wheel with about 4 turns lock to lock,it was a real arm twirler! 2 tone metallic blue with white roof. With the Thunderbird style roof she was a beauty so much so GM Holden copied the roof style.
For those who were not "lively ones", the Rambler dealership was just down the street.
We had a Falcon! It was so underpowered that it was dangerous!
Same with our Comet.
Couldn't make it up some hills. Brand new too!
Power was matched to the brakes.
The 144 cubic inch 6 cylinder was WAY underpowered. My friend’s family had a Mercury Comet 2 door wagon with that engine. I had 63 1/2 Falcon Futura 2 door hardtop with the 170 6 cyl. Still weak but drivable. I really liked it.
@@dsturgis8125 Since the Comet was slightly larger and heavier, with the same drive train, It would be WORSE performing than the Falcon! 😳
It was a great looking and dependable car
Wish I'd had one.
Thank you youtube.. You are a gem. Where would I get to see 1962 Ford Falcon ad with Charlie Brown.
My friends mom had a 63 Falcon, we once put 12 people in it….broke the rear springs !
I drove a Falcon in the 1960s...for a short time because a pushrod broke on I-64 at the astounding speed of 55 MPH. I sold it soon after. At that time FORD did stand for Found On Road Dead. FoMoCo made up for it with the Ford Taurus; mine was as reliable as an anvil and only required a single repair: replacement of a power steering hose which I did myself and vowed I'd NEVER do again.
You guys got powered steering !? 🤔😅
85 horsepower? Good Grief!!!
The VW Beetle or "Bug" engine was 35HP which never seemed to be a show-stopper.
Also, consider something like the 1962 Corvair Monza, marketed as a "sports car", had a 6-cylinder engine that produced 80HP. My aunt had one at the same time my dad had his 1962 Ford Falcon and my dad LOVED to drive me around in her car, really fast!
So, 85HP was considered reasonably powerful for a small car back then.
Remember. That was SAE Gross horsepower, too.
Remove the air cleaner and exhaust headers. Take off all of the accessories including the fan belt for the water pump and cooling fan.. strap it to an engine stand, cinch down a prony brake.. and run it at full throttle until it seized.
The highest number recorded was the number put in the sales brochure.
It’s doubtful that 40 horsepower made it to the ground.
The Valiant with the 145hp 225 slant six shook up the Australian market compared to the Falcon with 85hp or our market leading GM Holden six with 75hp at the time. 225 the only Valiant motor here until we got the 273 V8 option in the top of the range cars in 65. Ford and GM playing catch-up to the Chrysler Valiant here for many years. The problems of the early Falcons nearly closed down Ford manufacturing here. Needed lots of Australia only changes to Falcon. Paid off with new models up to 2016 although not recorded in the description.
I never knew that these commercials existed until last week! 🤓
And to think, these came out before A Charlie Brown Christmas
This must have been well before Charlie Brown's official cartoon debut in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Linus from Peanuts wore glasses in the commercial.
Is Peter Robbins voicing him here too? He was in my opinion one of the most talented child voice actors. In a lot of the specials, he was leagues above the other kids in terms of talent. I thought he just worked on the specials and the commercials made post 1965. I didn't know he worked on the pre-Charlie Brown Christmas stuff too.
For a short time, linus wore glasses, which includes this commercial from 1962 at 1:31.
Based on the interior view of that Falcon Futura, apparently a steering wheel/column was optional. Heck, that's ONE way to keep the price down (Hmmm; should I spend a few extra dollars on a vinyl roof or a steering wheel? Decisions, decisions!).
It had an early version of the Tesla Self-Driving feature😈
Also the passenger door was apparently optional.
@@thomasruwart1722 and 20,000 times better than that robot arm made piece of shit that ruins the fucking purpose of a automobile.
I sorry but I'm here for the 62 Galaxy 500 XL 406 with the 3 two barrel carburetors.
someone please sell me a 62 falcon, that’d be great 👍🏽 also, it occurs to me that Lucy is one of the more original characters in fiction. reminds me of my own bossy sister 😂
Falcons were the perfect-sized car.
Snoopy Dog there with Charlie Brown.
The last one was shown on "The Making of a Charlie Brown Christmas"
I remember when I was a youngster The peanuts characters in ads for ford on the tv program wonderful world of disney before disney also in full color magazine print ads
Linus is wearing glasses!
Very cool!!!
Voiceover By Paul Frees
I remember all those commercials.
Didn't say a thing about my 62 Ranchero.I'm hurt.
Poor Charlie Brown. Even in a commercial he gets shat on.
PEANUTS started in 1950. MAFALDA started in 1963. So PEANUTS came first by 13 years so no characters were stolen at least from the point of view of PEANUTS.
Bruhhh, wut?
Epic ad =)
Chalie should have said "its a piece of crap, but at least its not a Corvair".
My aunt had a 1962 Corvair at the same time my dad had his 1962 Ford Falcon and my dad LOVED to drive me around in her car, really fast! However, she was driving it one day, sitting at a traffic light, hit the gas pedal, and CLUNK! The engine fell out! The faulty engine mounts was just one of many design problems with that car.
"or the future Pinto" "or the rollover prone Bronco II" "or the underinflated Firestone tired Explorer"
It wasn’t a piece of crap by contemporary standards. It was quite competitive and extremely successful in the marketplace.
@@jamesw1659 - Absolutely! I remember one time when I was 4 my dad took me for a ride in my Aunt's brand new shiny 1962 Corvair. I asked my dad why he was driving so fast. He said that my Aunt (his older sister) didn't drive the car fast enough and that it was important to "blow out" the carburetors every once in a while. Soooo.... when I was 16, driving the family car with my dad in the front seat, he complained that I was driving too fast. I simply reminded him that it was important to blow out the carburetor once in a while. He was *not* amused but I did hear mom snickering in the back seat 😈
The second ad was apparently done during the brief era when Linus was wearing glasses. I remember that from the comic strip, but this is probably the first time I've seen it animated.
Yeah, that’s exactly what stuck out to me!
I think this may be one of the only times it was animated.
I believe the ford announcer is Paul frees
My gramdmother bought a dark blue falcon in 1962 . Seems like yesterday, well almost.
En Argentina se fabricó hasta los 90 muy noble el Ford falcon múltiple campeón el carreras del tc 👍👍👍🤙🙂✌️
mechanical death traps Charlie Brown
Shermy playing the tuba kinda reminds me of Larry the Cucumber from VeggieTales.
Scary brakes
Style, personality, and character, three things missing from the plastic jelly beans sold today. At least Ford got it right with the new Bronco, I guess it shows people want style, personality, and character after all 🙂
Really cool! Hahaha
3:35 Linus And Lucy S0 Episode 10: The The 1962 Ford Falcon
i have had personal experiances two different times in my life with falcons.. i miss them steel dash no seat belt choke. my uncle used to take us to the beach the fondest of memories... and later i used to car pool to work in one.
ps i had a comet which basically was a falcon and i had a grandfather with a grenada and a bud with one too
Paul frees.
All the new compacts that came out in the early 60’s were pretty crappy and the Falcon was amongst the crappiest. Yet it outsold them all with its low price and super simple mechanicals.
Yo pensé que era el falcón argentino :(
En Argentina es un icono del automovilismo
Pensar que se produjieron hasta los 80"s
This looks like film from the 20's not the 60's lol
I forgot about Linus wearing glasses!
Sadly didn’t quite have the solidness outside America just yet
