That's great. Nicely done, well timed, well cut.

Hey Ford: you need to buy an entire ad-break across all prime networks in prime time and show that as an advert.

That's the kind of emotive and factual advertorial that will sell a Falcon.

+1.

If the viewing public saw these ads, maybe more Falcon's would be sold.

Lets hope I see them being shown on primetime TV someday soon!

(PS, the Ford film editing department definitely needs work)

About the only Ford recent ads I can remember, (apart from the understated Alan Moffat one)
are the
'Must be Stuck in Third' and
'Flooded it Mate' RTV ad.

After that......... not much

Before that...... 'Have you Driven a Ford Lately' from the 90's
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRTSiL5Fdcw


And of course - 'Going Ford, is the Going Thing'

This song was used in a reasonably recent Ford ad.
Can you picture the ad?

Fairlane ad with all the drivers on the streets?

I can't find the full ad but I reckon this is the best Falcon ad they made:

Exactly, ads like that would defiantly get people thinking about the Falcon as a great Australian car. Are any Ford marketing people reading these forums???

Whats up with the clipping of the audio, it sounds like they've just edited together a bunch of words that he's said. It makes me feel this isn't genuine.
