It's great to see the Ford Granada in three of the commercials. It's an unloved classic for sure, made back when cars had style.
Parents had a mercury monarch growing up, what a car! lol
LOL ... Thats a great vid, I remember all of it .... My first car was a 63 LARK
I have to admit I don’t remember those ad’s. I am 50 yrs old so I was a kid back in the 70’s.
Dad did have a early 60’s a Rambler and then got a 74’ green with white top AMC Hornet with a straight six.

I started on the CB at age 5 & I remember in the 70's when almost everyone I knew had a CB in their vehicle & a 3rd of them also hadone as a base radio at home.The closest thing to a Noise Toy was a Browning Golden Eagle & only two of us locally had one of those.I think the clown who invented Noise Toys & Echo Microphones should have been put in prison for life at the minimum.CB will forever been a Toilet & Channel 6 will always be stopped up & need flushing no matter when the last time it was it was flushed.The Good Old days are Long Gone & they are Never coming back so you may as well give up on that hope if you still had it. {:>)

My first car too, 1976, 250 six with 75k miles on it when my grandma gave it to me. I still have it. Built up a couple of different 351w motors, the latest has aluminum heads, holley 4 barrel, big cam. Had a Maxon cb with mag mount on the trunk. Unfortunately it has been the queen of the back yard for about 10 years now. It's still on the to do list.

Same while going down the road: Harry James, Stan Kenton, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, Sinatra, Garland, Fitzgerald, Cole and a host of others. Arrangements by Riddle, Jenkins, Hefti. Etc.
Once there was talent + taste = sophistication. All-American.
The JFK assassination turned what was emulable into dogshit substitutes.

I remember when I was 11 and my parents Cadillac had a built in CB radio/am&fm cassette combo unit that came with the car,what memories that brings back,where does the time go folk's??????? Loved watching the CB commercials..................
When we lived in Southern Cal there was a Ford tv commercial where a couple walked up to a Granada and started to get in. Another couple walked up and said," Hey that's our Granada." The first couple replied," Sorry, we thought this was our Mercedes"
PLEASE give me a break !! Like someone would mistake a Granada for a Mercedes?? Hahahahahaha. Never happen. This commercial became such a joke in SoCal that Ford ditched it almost immediately. I tried to find it online and it's long gone.

Just turned 54, and I vaguely remember two of those commercials. But I did recognize the actor on the Cobra punch commercial, he made several appearances on MASH, Although I don't know his name.
