I missed it! Wanted to watch it but wasn't home in time.
I did get my copy of the lift out in Friday's paper about the 50th Anniversary though. ![]()

Was abit short and really was a big ad that climaxed with a pitch on the 50th Anniversary FG's. They look better on TV than they do on the net. The interiors look good. Makes me want to sell my ute before all the new stuff arrives as re-sale will be shot in a few months.

It was on today in WA. Thought they got through a fair bit considering the small running time. Showed Falcon has achieved quite a lot over the years and was the first to introduce most of the main things like disc brakes, airbags, ABS, watts link etc across the range. Although they did make a mistake saying it was the first with IRS.

The thing i liked most was at the end, when they said "you ma think Ford is looking back, but infact they are already looking to a strong future" Or something along the lines, anyway i liked that!!!!

Saw it tonight and thought it was great. Hilighted a few firsts and the highest aust content and a few other truths that a lot of people would otherwise not know. Great advert for the blue oval.

Just saw it in W.A. All too short as a documentary on 50 years of the mighty Falcon but as a marketing tool to aid the introduction of the EcoBoost Falcon it was spot on. Did any one else notice all the Falcon ads spruiking the upcoming EcoBoost Falcon?
Me thinks from now until its introduction next year, Ford will be ramming the EcoBoost moniker down our throats until it is a household word.

I missed half of it - came in around Dick Johnson talking about the rock. I wonder if it is only 1/2 hour on TV, there is a decent length DVD available - Come on Ford, Do It - It's not everyday that a product celebrates 50yrs.
Happy Birthday Falcon ![]()

It was pretty good, I spoze any longer would have the average joe blow switching. I liked the bit when Dick Johnson was on talking about his racing years when he said they used to have a tow truck on stand by at all times to pick up all the Commodore wrecks - such an obviuos stab

Ford has put up some video on its website, I assume it's from the Doco:

All employees got a copy of the DVD. If someone else doesn't do it first I may figure out how to upload it.

Geez I tell you what the media struggle to paint Ford in a positive picture. Watching Sky News they announce Ford's 50th and 80th gig, announce a few accolated and then it's straight onto the Holden good news band wagon.
I like Ford's new advertising blitz, 50 years of firsts. Positive, upbeat and confident.

Yeah I noticed the banner tonight. Looks very nice. Gods job to mods/whoever designed that.
On the doc though, I think it should have been atleast 45min. They skipped 10 years from eb-el then mentioned AU then flew threw bseries is 15 seconds, mentioning new design and ZF. I'm not complaining, I liked the program, just felt it was a little restrained time wise.

WARNING
Bloody hell! This ****es me off. Today all you here about is how holden are reintroducing 2 shifts. They spoil every date something major happens in Ford. They are the king of spin. Ford has never in my recount done anything like this to Holden, yet it's a continual stream of Holdens news being more important than Ford. RANT OVER. Safe to proceed. |

Yep just saw Ten News. They did a good 2 minute story on Holdens second shift then tacked on 10 seconds for the Falcon turning 50.

no mention of the introduction of the xr6 turbo...i'm not just biased because i have one...but it was a big deal for the manufacturer to release that, just seems like crap to me...20 minutes on start to AU...then finishes with the FG. almost didn't even mention the e-au-b series.
given a 2-3 hour doco, it would go well...but 30 mins is a joke |

The show was pretty good, but all too short. I want to see the extended mix version.
I love Dicks comment on the broken down commodores. I'm glad a few of you boys noticed what channel ten did with the double shift story sitting all over top of the 50 year Falcon anniversary story. The West Australian is really bad for that as well, every single time there is anything upbeat about the ford Australia product, there's always some irrelevant link to the other brand. What annoys me is that its all cash for comment, advertisements dressed up as news. Its deceitful in that regard. NO wonder some media organizations can give away certain brands of cars all the time. |

Typical underwhelming & underdone by Ford. At least it was better than nothing.
They had a chance to make this a huge event & blew it. |
