THE 1955-66 THUNDERBIRDS DVD
This great collection of TV commercials and Ford promotional
films kicks off with rare footage of Hollywood star Randolph Scott, and
crooner Bing Cosby introducing the classy lines and features of the sporty
new Ford T-Birds. Other Ford promo films show Henry Ford II and the introduction
of the first '55 and details like how the removable top works. More TV promotions
follow.
The action moves in full color to the beach and the 1956
Daytona Speed Trials where racing champion Chuck Daigh sets a new record
in his stripped down 'Bird. This is followed by great footage of the new
'57s being introduced and setting flying mile records at Daytona.
The so-called '58 "squarebird" was first introduced
to the public by TV host Dick Powell. You are there as the whole series
of '58-60 T-Bird ads are played out to show the glamour, details, and roominess
of America's first family sports cars. Promotions of the sleek new bullet-shaped
1961-63, and handsome 1964-66 T-Bird series continue the family sports car
theme at the country club. Lots of good Roadster footage, and convertible
tops folding neatly into rear decks! |
