@Lars Erickson hopped on this train as it left the station. That was in August 2014. I can't believe he hasn't stepped off it somewhere along the route. Thanks, buddy!
For whatever reason, the first 23 seconds made me think the commercial was gonna be a nod to the twilight zone.
Then it made the hard pivot to be totally western. So “happy” that Ford is now known for being the reliable go anywhere vehicle… Just another machine replacing the role of our animal friends. I’d love to see the Pinto race a horse across the high desert where the rough terrain would be a serious concern to only one of them.
My gosh--this is fantastic.
Your attention to detail and seemingly impossible breadth of relevant examples made this a fascinating read!

Since writing this post I came upon an old browser bookmark that led me to this Ford Pinto commercial:

What do you all make of it? In what way(s) do you see the horse bound up with the car in this commercial?
