A friend of mine that worked for Hoblit Motors Ford dealership gave me a sales brochure he found in his closet, I thought it would try to share it.

 

Nice! Thanks for sharing that - I love old advertising/brochures/sales papers.

 

some more of the brochure

 

Just like seeing this stuff and bringing back memories. I've actually found dozens of original ford advertisements from old Look magazines,which are kind
of neat to read again.

 

A little off topic but LOOK magazines have the most old Ford ads I've ever seen

 

Thanks, Very Cool!

 

My 11 year old son just asked me tonight, while a Ford commercial was on TV, if there was ever a car commercial for an F100 back in 1966. Does anyone know if they had commercial advertisements for the slicks back then...BTW - Those brochures are pretty cool

 

They sure did The ones I still remember when I was little tike was
1966 Bronco Commercial. Wanted my dad to buy one so bad he said he
wasn't going to spend 2500 bucks for a Bronco
The best ever your 11 year old will love this one 1968 FORD tough truck.
Mr.Majestyk commercial they used from 1974 truck chase movie with Charles Bronson A must see
Heres a 1966 Ford pickup commercial 1966 Ford F-100 Ad
Enjoy

 

Very cool stuff. Thanks for posting it. I enjoyed watching them !! I'll show my son in the morning, he'll love them

 

Here are just a few pages from a 65 sales brochure I gleaned from the net.




Just adding what I have on 65 trucks to the thread.

 

I enjoyed looking at the brochures. They lied on the one brochure that said the pickup bed had an all steel floor that won't rot.

 

The bed floor probably would not have rusted to much if people had rememberd to wash the bed out around the front wall and wheel wells every now and again.

 

Mr.Majestyk commercial they used from 1974 truck chase movie with Charles Bronson was pretty cool. How many different trucks were used in the making of this commercial? I know of at least two. At 4:17 into the video you'll notice the steering wheel is black with no horn ring. The other shots show steering wheel is blue with a horn ring. How many other discrepancies can you find. I also noticed the grille was bent up then it was ok. I didn't look close enough for that I'll check it out later.

 

Thanks Gangstakr, you had to start this.....now I'm obsessed with finding inconsistencies !! lol.. Take a look at 2:20 into the clip, The inside of tailgate is pretty beat up, fast forward to 2:49 and there's a nice fresh paint job on it ! When I have time, I'll look for some more !

 

I love seeing the brochures too...so much so ive got a nice 65 collection including some Ranger stuff..
As to the wagon...I got a few trim parts off of a 55 a little while back if anyones in need...armrests are also the same as used in 57-60 F series too...when the truck was so equipped.

I just watched the clip...some really brave stunt drivers given the terrain etc...as to discrepancies...not the lack of rear window in the Ford convertible..as to the truck..side trim came and went as did gun racks, hub caps, ...imagine doing that run on a bench seat w/o seat belts...good luck in hanging on!! The blue interior truck was originally a blue truck as evidenced by opening the door and seeing door jamb etc...Im also impressed how he kicked open that beast of a tailgate...which also had lower trim piece come and go...its a shame that mopar with the high back seats got rolled...
Built ford tough...yeah...id love to see that identical clip with a chevy or Dodge with their ball joint front ends...
Also you note how the first of the 3 cars right before it was sent into its roll via Hollywood magic broke a lower ball joint...after the car was sideways heading into the roll...Oh yeah..one of the trucks at least was a 6 cylinder and it appeared to me the convertible was a 3 on the tree...
