1957 Ford Commercials

This month I thought I'd show some VERY rare Ford TV commercials from 1957. What makes these so rare is that they're in color.
It is probably safe to say that most Americans only saw these in black and white, as color TV was still a very new medium. Few shows were broadcast in color and even fewer people could afford them.
Limited production for the '57 Ford, where the assembly line was tested (for safety and efficiency) prior to full production, began in late August of 1956 and full production started the first week of September. The last '57 Ford passenger car was built on September 27, 1957 and the last actual '57 Ford to roll off the assembly line was a Thunderbird on December 13, 1957.
Total production for the 1957 Ford numbered 1,674,448 units, with the Custom 300 Fordor Sedan being the most produced model, numbering 194,677 cars.
So now, lets go back to a time when these 1957 Fords were brand new cars being introduced to the public. Notice how Ford promoted these cars as part of an active lifestyle.
