Ford was pushing the Mustang pretty strong during the 70's, as they did with all of their other models. The Mustang ads, though, had some star power.
Sid Caesar (ex-Your Show of Shows) appears in the first two (don't know who plays his wife) ads. Ad #3 features Farrah Fawcett, who did a lot of commercials in those days, and William Christopher (ex-Gomer Pyle USMC), a year before he joined the cast of M*A*S*H. For what it's worth, the narrator in the first Caesar ad sounds like ol' Morris the Cat himself, John Erwin. Can't get a clear make on the actor in the last of the four ads. Some people think it was Robert Redford, who'd made his name in movies by then.
