with the talk on Kings lately here are some Koons Koons Ford advertising speaking on how to become a King

Wear that crown proudly only at Koons

S&C Ford is no longer in SF. Believe that property on market street is now apartments. Think they move to South Sf or Daley City.

Here is Archway Motors in Baltimore where my 5S230 was delivered, now just a city social services building......
Formerly known as CorvetteMike.

Speaking about old dealerships made me think of this old commercial about one in south san francisco. Not a Shelby dealership, but this is funny as hell and is a bit R Rated:

Outtake from Ralph Williams Bayshore Chrysler-Plymouth TV commercial (1968). You might have seen this floating around online titled as 'Honest Car Salesman' in grainy low quality, but this version is taken from the original master tape. : r/ObscureMedia https://share.google/seKtbanjcXHLWcYaC

If it starts it's streetable.
Overkill is just enough.

Here in Alberta Calgary's Shelby dealer was Metro Ford. Still operating under the same banner. In Edmonton it was Healy Motors, where my 68 originated. In 1996 it was sold, and the name changed to Sherwood Ford.
68-2766, since 1990
69-2524, since 1992

Thanks for sharing that phenomenal piece of art.

Love those old commercials nothing like them today.

Today it ALL has to be pleasing and inoffensive to ALL. 

Or DEI approved Diversity - Equity - Inclusive. Well you know how that is.

If you played these today  most definitely you would offend "someone" and once you offend "someone" the mandatory lame apology must follow.

The apology must be made to the offended party and extended back to everyone in their families going past a minimum of 1,000 YEARS!

I am so sorry.....

Lame very Lame

Again thanks for sharing

There was a Williams Ford in Daly City next to the theater...on Mission Street... in 1964. I bought my used 63 1/2 Falcon Sprint there and later had then upgrade cam,heads,and intake from the Shelby Parts Catalog. Later traded that for my fist Cobra!

Wondering if it's the same Ralph Williams Bay Store?

Anyone know if it is?
