Fargo and Mercury trucks were all over Canada, eh?

Mercury car dealers sold Mercury trucks

Dodge trucks sold by Dodge dealers and Fargo branded trucks were at your local Plymouth dealer.

I don't remember adults arguing like schoolboys over which brand was "better" - people bought (often on the one payment plan) and used Chev, GMC, Ford, Mercury, Dodge, Fargo, and International trucks for their farms, oilfield, and businesses as they saw fit or from whichever dealer they liked or was local. No Studebaker or Jeep pickups to speak of in the 60's and 70's.

- they all seemed to be hard working trucks that stood up pretty well.

Yep that's where I seen them, growing up I spent a few summers in Sioux Lookout.

What kind of life is that, not arguing about which is better?! Must've been a boring time!!!!

I can gaurandamtee you that the F150 will not/ever walk away from another truck with a similar engine size! the 5.4L of that vintage was a dog and could barely get out of it`s own way! the HEMI will make it look like it`s sitting still! They really were reaching with that commercial!

Otherwise they are all entertaining!

Yeh that second one with the Ford reminded me of the day dreaming guys selling fast food.

They all looked alike! back then trucks weren't meant for everyday driving, they were designed for work! and they all rotted out!

Now this is a real mans commercial! watch all the way to the end.

Ford Commercial

Ok; now someone owes me a new laptop because I took a big drink of water right before the second part of that came on and I spewed it all over my laptop. That was GREAT!!! :B

[TurnThePage]

Loved all the commercials! But I have to admit, the Ford one wins the day! :B

Anyone notice the same guy's voice is on EVERY advertisement recording made before 1970. Man that guy must have been busy 🙂

These were trucks! My dad had at least 4 63-67 Dodge trucks when I was growing up. All had either slant 6's or 318 V-8's. They ran like tops, and I loved those trucks. Ive never lost my Mopar loyalty, and still want a really nice 70-71 Adventurer. Unfortunately its true they rusted badly, and there just aren't that many left..
