1960 - Wonderful New World of Ford
Posted by: stantonz
Video duration: 181 seconds
A wonderful promotional video for Ford Motors' new cars in 1960: The Galaxy, The Thunderbird, and The Falcon.
This ad is a great throwback to the early 1960s and JFK era of innocence. Featuring an empty field with just the three cars and a horde of men and women in their ballroom best, the ad is awash in kitschy elegance.

Posted by: stantonz
Video duration: 94 seconds
"Fifty to sixty years ago, people were introduced to peanut butter to the first time," begins this 1950s ad for Skippy peanut butter. Following a brief history of peanut butter (though no mention of George Washington Carver), we are told that while children enjoyed peanut butter, adults hated it - until, of course, the advent of Skippy.

Posted by: stantonz
Video duration: 51 seconds
Bottles and cans of Rheingold beer march in a stop-motion New York street parade. Some of the bottles play instruments, others carry flags, pull a street organ made of cans of Rheingold. Others yet ride in a Rheingold train across a bridge, and we close with the image of a keg floating through the sky like a blimp.

Crest Toothpaste "Tennis"
Posted by: stantonz
Video duration: 40 seconds
In a 1960s television ad for Crest toothpaste, two teenage boys play tennis. One, Bill, is clearly the better athlete, causing the other boy to lament, "I never beat Bill. Except once, in a toothpaste test."
The moral, of course, is though Bill is the better athlete, he uses an inferior toothpaste, and will get more cavities than our Crest-using friend.
