Hey, Paul! Remember when Charlie Brown and gang were on TV even before the first special in 1965? YouTube has: "1961 Ford Falcon with Characters From Peanuts." It aired on "Wagon Train" over NBC (10/60). Ford hired Charles Schultz to draw the animated kids in different car commercials between 1959 and '65. It aired shortly before the death of Ward Bond, the wagon master. In 1958, Bond appeared for Ford to promote a "win a live pony" sweepstakes. The Peanut commercials were filmed in color, though only 10% of households owned color TV sets, and "Bonanza" was the only color show then. Another video is a PSA: "U S Savings Bonds 1962 3 3/4%." The first to feature the boy (Ernie, voiced by Dick Beals) in the 3 corner hat, leading a clumsy marching band through a town to promote Savings Bonds. Aired on "Bugs Bunny Show" over ABC (3/7/64). Also, if you're into high school yearbooks, check out classmates.com. Look up a city, high school and year, likely they have it! Enjoy!
