[James05574]

I have an 79 XR-7 Fully loaded. One of these days will get it on YouTube!

[uofmrules1]

Damn that car looked sweet!

[chadberry75]

WOW..3 COUGARS IN 1 COMMERCIAL..

[alanisgirl2010]

Has anyone bought that Mercury car before.

[Randythewildhorse]

I had a green 1978 Mercury Cougar 4 door that was built like the LTD 2. For a 351 Windsor the car was slow but when the car goes over bumps, you hardly feel it and it was very comfortable too! The car was dark green with light green interior.

[firstmusic00]

Yeah...I think it is Cheryl Tiegs. Gotta love that disco feel this as has.

[Mykevin67]

This looks like Cheryl Tiegs to me....big in the late 70's early 80's. I did have a poster.

[smczack1]

Thats one big pussy !!!!!!

[NTC335]

８０年代中盤ぐらいになると

この型のクーガーは中古で手頃なタマが多かったから

よくケツageホットロッドにされてたにゃ〜。。。

俺的にはリバースのクレーガー履かせてコテコテの70'sなロー­ライダーが似合うと思う。

[cw40pd6]

ｶｺｲｲ！昔親戚が乗ってたな。

[takutaq]

@cw40pd6

本当ですか！

うらやましぃですねぇ～

クーガーは元々「ラグジュアリースポーツクーペ」だったのですが­、オイルショックなどでこの頃から路線変更し「ラグジュアリース­ペシャリティクーペ」となりました。

まぁ、この数年後に元の路線に戻るのですが、個人的にはこの年代­のほうが好きですね。

今にはないこの高級感と重量感がとてもいいです。

@takutaq how do you type in japanese?

[buffedbob]

It smells like blonde pussy.

[TheLizardKing1967]

Midnight Blue and Shamie.....WOW !!! I wonder what Shamie vinyl smells like. LOL

[lescaux]

I use to have one, but mine was a 77 XR7 with a 400. Grey with matching Vinyl, I loved that car.

[67nairb]

Who is the gorgeous woman in that commercial? Is she an actress?

[TheLizardKing1967]

Midnight Blue and Shhhhhhhhhhhammmmieeeeeeee

[TwinkleSpaceGirl]

oooOOOOOHHHH...meowllllll!! love dat cougar.!!!

[fluffydolly]

i miss those 70's cars...so kool!!!

[optio4]

These popular cars along with the 1977-79 Thunderbirds were big sellers for the Ford Motor Company and helped the corporation earn nearly 2 billion dollars per year. Too bad Ford along with GM can't develop winners like this today to "bail" the companies out of the financial mess they find themselves in.

[socalltd]

just t-bird's alone, ford sold over 300k

units with the mercs and LTD2 behind from 1977 to '79. the LTD did good too because the general downsized first for '77. FYI - 77-79 t-birds were still heavier than early 70's LTD's...

[Lumotaku]

Dude people are not buying cars period. thats what the retards in congress seemed to fail to understand. The bankers which have no restrictions placed on them fucked everything up. Hurt all car companies. Dont forget the fact that american companies have always had to fight an uphill battle against imports which have no tariffs on them and have the goverment payingthier employees retirement and health care.

[usa02]

Great disco music from the 70's, the sounds of the Midnight cat. MEOW! And the voiceover was the late Ernie Anderson.

[buffedbob]

Very sex ad, especially at the end when the lady fondles her big hairy pussy.

[jjpeterson1]

lol, this is a car ad, whats wrong with you?

[retrojoet]

Damn! I remember that commercial when it first aired.  Mostly, because I kept wishing she'd swing by my house on one of her midnight rides. Looking back, it does kinda have a look of "cheap 70's porn" to it!

[sole48341]

love this commercial, kinda looks like an old 70's porn, lol

[chuckycheese22]

WOW! Cool commercial! This ad brings back memories, I really miss my 1979 Cougar XR-7. It was a High Gloss Deep Black, with Dove Grey Leather seats & half vinyl roof & pin stripes, power moonroof, cast aluminum turbine spoke wheels that had matching dove grey between spokes, power windows, seat, locks, trunk, antenna, am/fm w/ cassette & amp, cornering lamps, lighted key holes & visors, tachometer, with complete appearance package, loaded, loaded, loaded it was, damn!..wish I still had it.

[600SELV12]

Man I'd like to meet a "cougar" like HER!

[buffedbob]

Awesome, cool, sophisticated and a class act. This is beyond art, a masterpiece!!

[yamajammer76]

Love the disco music!

[mtb4runner]

The Midnight Cat!!!

[Jac2Mac]

Did the 1979 Mercury Cougar XR-7 come with a chime or a buzzer?

[chuckycheese22]

They came with a chime, I remember that well & it wasn't an electronic chime, it was mechanical. I owned a 79 for a long time.

[Jac2Mac]

Was the chime for all three functions?

[chuckycheese22]

Hi Jac2Mac, I remember my '79 Cougar's bells & whistles well....the mechanical chime only sounded at initial start-up of the engine, while the little red "fasten seatbelts" light turned-on, but I had the optional gauges with the tachometer. The buzzer sounded when the driver's door was open with key in the ignition or headlights were left on.

[Jac2Mac]

That doesn't make sense at all to use a seatbelt chime but a scary buzzer for the other functions. You would think the Cougar would use a chime for all 3 functions like the Chrysler Newport and Dodge St. Regis. Why was the chime only used for the seatbelt reminder?

[chuckycheese22]

....I don't know...maybe Ford thought it sounded "classy" to hear a chime at engine start-up lol. But yeah, if you left your lights on, or the key in the ignition & opened the driver's door, you were graced with the ugly "BUZZ" buzzer warning. Although these were nice & stylish, powerful rides, they were outdated, I think the 1st Ford rides to use this platform & design were the Torino & Elite in early 70's. The Lincoln Continental had all the "Bells & Whistles" though lol.

[Jac2Mac]

Were there any other cars of the late '70s and early '80s that were guilty of using a chime only for the seatbelt reminder but a scary buzzer for everything else?

[salemcripple]

I'm assuming its the same reason why they use different chimes for different things today. So that you would know that your keys were still in the ignition (or your door wasn't shut all the way), rather than your seat belt wasn't on.
