72' Mustang commercial from Venezuela

This is cool, a Ford Mustang commercial from 72'

what he said was....

Ford MooshTANG is the coolest car in the line up. You can deliver drugs faster in a Moosh Tang. You can go luxury with the coupe... or sporty with the fastback and if you take a chikeetah with you.... go in the convertible to avoid attention from the Federalies Only if a MooshTANG from Ford

From the looks of this ad, the Valencia, Venezuela plant didn't produce convertibles.

I rather like the use of the term "Grand Sport" to refer to the Sportsroof. It's a distinct enough term to clear up the "All Sportsroofs are Mach 1s!" misconception.

Did anyone notice that the Venezuelan cars use 1969 low-back seats stitched in the 1971 Deluxe pattern? May be an oddity of production there - or left-over pre-production 1971 cars. More than one car here on the forum is Venezuelan; might have to see if there are any interior pictures of those.

I'm dissapointed that they don't have Forda Mooshtunk Covertiblas.



They don't know what they're missing.

That's funny. Still Kinda cool how our interest in these cars spans many continents and languages.

Cool commercial. I don't remember tv shows or commercials being that grainy in the 70's! Must be the digitizing process.

Thanks for posting, that was cool. There were several odd Fords built in Venezuela, I rode in a 2 wheel drive Bronco they built there, when I visited Venezuela. Never seen one before.

Also drove by the Ford plant in the 90's I think it closed down now.

Wonder how many Mustangs are still there...

I was born and raised in Venezuela, up in the Andes Mountains close to the Colombian border; makes me a citizen for life. As commercials go, especially for 1972, it was well done and very professional. It also stressed A/C as an option, which makes sense when you consider most of Venezuela's climate.

You can tell that FOMOCO had a lot to do with the "screen play" and basic approach. Otherwise, if left to themselves, it would have been "cheesy"---from an American perspective; but not to them, of course. Different cultures see and evaluate things differently.

Thanks for posting the commercial.

So was this where the "el grande" was imported from ? Ha

Very cool find Iman

Funny that they use "Grande Sport" as a title for the fastback, even though it does not say that anywhere on the car. Maybe they are using that as a generic body-type description, like "coupe".

I doubt if that pronunciation or marketing term used the accented "E." Probably Gran Sport.
