Put Put the Pizza Hut

I just found this on the web, I didn’t even know these Mustang Junior cars existed.

“Put Put to the Pizza Hut” was the first national television commercial for Pizza Hut in 1965. It features a 1965 Mustang JR gas powered promotional car Made by the Powercar Company of Mystic CT. These were made with the cooperation of the Ford Motor Company for use in dealer promotions and other uses. Mustang JRs were made in 1965, 1966 and 1967 and changed each year to match the full size cars.”

Enjoy the ad – did people really go to Pizza Hut because of this?
