Wally & The Beaver Sell 1960 Fords (Leave It To Beaver)
Leading into the 1950s, Ford, along with many other top of the market car manufacturers were capitalizing on the post war boom. Many new advancements in technology and products were being developed during this time that allowed for cars going into the future to have features never seen before or features that were not normal until now. The automatic window, for example, was a new feature that made Americans see their current cars as outdated and technologically behind. The 1960s were one of the best eras for the production of cars, as the war between Ford and Chevrolet heated up and produced some of the most classic and recognizable cars in America still to this day.
The mainstream full-sized Ford line of cars from 1960 to 1964 was now complemented by a variety of other Fords, including the Thunderbird and compact Falcon, and from 1962 the midsized Fairlane. So the mainline car grew even more, now riding on a 119 in (3023 mm) wheelbase. The engines were carried over from the 1959 Ford, as was the basic chassis design, but the sheetmetal was modern. The retracting Skyliner hardtop was gone, though the Sunliner convertible remained, and the Fairlane name would last only two years before migrating to a new midsize model. {TAKEN FROM WKI}

=============================
Description of Ford Mustang "The first-generation Ford Mustang was manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from April 1964 until 1973. The introduction of the Mustang created a new class of automobiles known as the pony car. The Mustang’s styling, with its long hood and short deck, proved wildly popular and inspired a host of imitators. It was initially introduced as a hardtop and convertible with the fastback version put on sale the following year. At the time of its introduction, the Mustang, sharing its underpinnings with the Falcon, was slotted into a compact car segment."
Obviously, I do not own this content. I repost it as an ongoing museum and tribute, a testament to the greatest generation in automobile manufacturing history, EVER.

That Trucking Company was HADLEY AUTO TRANSPORT Headquartered in SANTA ANA CA. They were in business from 1931-2007 with Teminals in California, Arizona, New Mexico & Texas. It was a great Company to work for, Bill Hadley took the reins from his Dad in 1957, he loved his drivers. Sadly in December of 2006 HADLEY lost the Chrysler traffic & on April 1 2007 lost the Ford traffic to non-union carriers, the Company shut down for good. I was 1 of their drivers in Northern California.......

Yes it sure was Hadley. Back in the mid 1980’s we drove for a private auto transport outfit out of Livermore, Ca, and remember seeing the Hadley trucks out on the road. There was another outfit around the Bay Area that ran green cabover Freightliners, but no thanks to another senior moment I don’t remember the name of the company.

@Winston Wong....although, there may not be a commercial with Eddie - there was an extended promotional for Chevrolets in 1965 that featured the cast of Bonanza and Bewitched. Seeing Michael Landon driving a '65 Vette and Pernel Roberts driving a beautiful '65 Impala. Dan Blocker ( Hoss ) being polite and addressing Agnes Moorhead as "Miss Moorehead". I think that the video may be here on KZfaq somewhere. Also, was Nova and station wagon.

Though the show was filmed on Colonial St. and the Munster's house was 3 house down from the Cleaver's ,that is not the Munster house behind them. Just because it is a Victorian house does not make it so. Note: In the 1980's all the houses from Colonial St. were moved from their original location to were they are today with the exception of the Cleaver house that was move again because of the movie "The Burbs" and is not part of the Universal tour. The house you see on the tour is from the "Leave it to Beaver" movie .

It was genius of Ford to design and engineer Thunderbirds to grow up right along with baby boomers while successively retaining their uniqueness which continually attracts people so many years after the model left production.

Our family bought a new 6 passenger Country Sedan in 1960. My father traded in a 1958 Chevrolet Brookwood that my mother learned to hate pretty quickly after it was bought, and all but forbid my father to ever buy another new Chevrolet. I remember my family poring over a book given to us by the Ford dealer that allowed you to see all the different full-sized Fords in their different colors...sort of the car equivalent of looking at a catalog of carpet samples. After a lot of back and forth my father (with the family's help) settled on a Belmont Blue wagon with a woven vinyl interior in medium blue. The neat thing about Belmont Blue was that under street lights at night it would look purplish. BTW, the 1960 Ford full-sizers were so wide that they were actually illegal in some states. Compared to the Brookwood, that Country Sedan barely fit into our near new suburban house's garage...it really was that wide.

In the classic car collection that I managed for six years, we had a 1960 Sunliner with a 352/360 engine. It was, as indicated in this commercial, the hottest engine produced for public use at the time. The Sunliner was a convertible version of the Starliner, which was mentioned in the commercial as the "hot car."

Thank you "Classic Car Channel" for this bit of nostalgia. I remember those days when each car line had "character". Cars were "work of art" and each different platform had a personality of its own. You "drove" a car and felt the road, traction, curves, ... underneath it. Each year brought new models that did look different from the previous years and had various colors, shapes, gadgets not like the "homogenized" modern cars of today. Designs advances and competitions were also seen in other industries (motorcycles, farm machinery, stereo consoles, TV-cabinets...). America was great and led the world and (most) of the middle class flourished. For most families, hard work meant that the family was going to make it (financially) - we lived "The American Dream". Thank you for the memories, thank you for bringing me back to a time of innocence, freedom and optimism (before the war, that is). Ciao, L (Veteran).

@@wyo1446 Have to say, America sure did love the Falcon. But I'm not sure anybody who bought an automatic was thrilled. A friend of my dad's had a '60 w/"Ford-o-matic". I remember how long we had to wait to pull out on the highway & Even then thought we'd wind up getting killed. Thought we'd never get up to 30! Next door neighbor had Powerglide '60 Corvair & Even with two adults & a whole pile of us neighborhood kids that you'd never put in a car today I don't remember it having to struggle like the Ford did. And later dad had a '62 Club Wagon (3 Spd stick. Don't even think automatic was offered till they finally got some bigger engines & did away with 2spd automatic). I remember there were hills he couldn't even climb in 2nd & since they didn't even give you a synchro 1st gear he'd wind up rolling down backward & starting off in 1st & never up-shifting. His old 36hp '58 Volks Kombi microbus could do better in 2nd (out of 4 gears) than the Ford in 2nd of 3 gears. The Volks barely managed 60 on the highway, the Ford barely 70. (In all fairness he had a friend that later had an absolute bare bones Econoline with the 170 engine & 3spd & it definitely was a lot better) Not giving you my opinion, just describing my personal life experience with each of these vehicles.

It was a 1961 Plymouth. Not a Ford Starliner,and Beaver never drove the car. They were monkeying around in it and he knocked the parking brake off and it rolled into the street. The car had a push button torqueflite transmission and there was no “park” button on the transmission. You used an emergency brake for park and there was a release lever under the dash on the left side. Beaver bumped that . Wally found the key and drove it back into the driveway and a cop wrote him a ticket for operating a car without a license.

Looking back at old photos, we were pretty darn poor. No seatbelts in cars. JFK assassination. Racial intolerance. Vietnam. Construction safety....what safety? No computers. No color TV. Small lawn mower. Funny thing about all that "bad stuff" is, I didn't even know it existed until decades later. I miss those days, too.

@@RalphSampson... I was born in 1952 and lived in northern Pennsylvania so a few of the things on your list didn't seem that important. I don't think that I missed air-conditioning all that much, but in the winter I imagine having insulation or better insulation would have made houses and schools at least seem warmer or not hot as heck. If no one had a color tv, how could you miss it? What bothers me is that some tv stations won't air vintage black and white programs. Seat belts and car seats? I never " missed " them, however, as a child I was injured 2 or 3 times when a car door was shut on my fingers. I don't know why (maybe people are just more careful?) but you rarely see a kid that has had their fingers shut in a car door anymore. As a quick end, I would almost trade my microwave oven for the better tasting ice cream of 70 years ago. Almost, because I rarely eat ice cream anymore, I no longer crave it as I did as a kid.

Odd that Wally and Beaver would be doing a Ford commercial. 'Leave It to Beaver' began to be supplied cars by Chrysler in season 3 which started on October 3, 1959. This would be around the time this commercial aired. Ford did supply cars for the first two seasons which ended in June 1959. Ward drove a 1959 4-door Plymouth Fury in season 3.
