Every woman I knew in the 1970s who drove a big car like that ...hit just about every curb possible....their tires looked like they had been thru a war
My grandma's (then new) 77 Sedan DeVille's steel bumpers came in SO handy! It would hit the steel post at the bank drive thru every time for instance. It was so huge in the driveway we'd all back into it when leaving, but never had to tell her because it never even got a scratch. Cars were TANKS back then!
I miss Farrah. I know some people thought she was an airhead, etc, but she was anything but. She never ceased to be interesting. Yeah, she was a sex symbol, but she was much more. She was always doing something interesting, like when she got into more art and stuff. It's weird, I find a lot of todays stars to be bimbos, but Farrah was just something more.
I think that if the younger generation were to spend a day riding in this car, they would burn the car they are driving now. These cars were long distance cruisers. 4 hours behind the wheel of today's cars is long and tedious. 10 hours behind the wheel of this car BEGGED for 10 more.
Today's car (even the small ones) are much safer than this piece of shit. Body on frame cars crumpled like tin cans back in the day. Check out the video here on Youtube where a 2009 Malibu is crashed into a 1959 Bel Air - and then tell me which car you'd want to be in - a new one or an older one.
sort of a neat car, but what few people realized was it was just a dolled-up, overpriced Gran Torino. And there wasn't all that much room inside when you consider the sheer size of the thing. And the worst part of it was, these were Ford/Mercury MIDSIZE cars. The 'full size' LTD and Marquis were absolutely mammoth in proportion.
Hey , it had a thing that made the wipers work intermittently and the other cool gadget that allowed you to ride without having your foot on the gas pedal!!!
About foreign cars taking over I gotta say this. The Europeans have been doing it for a long time. America is a relatively new country still to this day. Racing has been overseas long before the first nascar track was ever built and way long before the moonshiners where doggin southern highways. They go to school longer, study harder, and are masters in what they build. It shows in their work. Nothing wrong with adopting a standard for your cars from people who do it better. Longer. Why not?
Once we were a nation that had our own style. Now it seems we are so apologetic and unsure of ourselves. We seem to define ourselves by what we consider 'our betters'. We make cars that emulate German, British, and Japanese ideals. We have bought, sold and consumed along the way, our own identity. Farrah was Texas made. The Cougar was Detroit. Goodbye to you both.
"glove soft vinyl" ha ha...does that really exist? I remember in 1978 my buddy's mom got a new Merc Cougar. You could fit half the neighborhood in that thing.
Opera window and moon roof , sign me up. Where do I buy one? Farrah looks so stunning here. I still have all my Charlies Angels bubble gum cards, lots with Farrah. I have cherished them since I was a kid in the 70's.
I was too young to drive when this ad was out, so I only paid attention to the girl . . . back then I wasn't even aware the car was in the ad until they showed the Mercury logo at the end.
My 84 T-Bird was 16 mpg V8 5 Liter my, 89 F150 truck was 12mpg and V8 5.6 Liter, not much different than the T-chicken, prob just as heavy. You pass everything but a gas station, but at $1.00 a gallon in 2000 who cared.
A cougar driving a Cougar with a cougar on top. LOL. Who would have thought back then that the definition of cougar would have changed in 30 plus years.
I love this commercial...nothing about fuel economy, not wearing a seat belt, driving on the beach, and a big cougar climbing all over the car lol..what's not to like?
'Moon roofs' came out in the 1970s on American cars and were glass while sunroofs were steel. The sunshade seen in that clip slid back when the roof was opened-just like it does w/glass sunroofs today. The glass version was still NEW in 1975. European cars like Mercedes and BMWs of that era only offered steel sunroofs.
@lasuvidaboy actually ford offered a sun roof on the 1960 t-bird as an option ...then it showed up on the 1967 cougars ...and i have seen a 1969 mercury marquis with a factory sunroof
Hey Farrah it's not good to go out swimming in the ocean at night with no life guards watching out for your safety. You could get attacked by a shark-lol.
aint this something...today farrah would be called a cougar ,,,so a cougar advertising a cougar ,,,,and being a proud red blooded american guy ...i like em both ...hell yeah
Moonroof was Ford's name for it. I grew up that way so that's always what I say! And I think it actually flows better than SUNroof. Just as there was a "moonlite serenade" AND a "sunrise serenade" - which was more popular? Got that right.
@xDONTPANICx If I remember correctly, the term "moonroof" was used when the sunroof panel was a thick but semi-translucent, white frosted glass that let soft light in even when closed, while "sunroof" was used when the panel was just the standard steel. Moonroofs were popular on mid-70s US luxury cars, especially the "personal luxury" cars that were big at the time, like the '75 Mercury Cougar, Ford Thunderbird, Lincoln Mark IV, etc.
I think I do remember this one. And Farrah driving it and a big putty cat coming on top of the car. I think she was the hottest of the Angels. Very unfortunate for her early departure from life as a victim of cancer and happening on the same day when Michael Jackson passed. Her death was greatly overshadowed by Jackson's.
@thewildwilsonshow Yeah, the 1975 Mercury Cougar was big, but at the time it was considered a "mid-size" car by US standards, roughly in the same size category as a Mercury Montego, Ford Torino, Chevrolet Chevelle, or Oldsmobile Cutlass. There were even bigger cars around, like the Mercury Monterey and Mercury Marquis.
You have two groups here and they are unrelated but for a commercial - You have those who are fans of Farrah and You have fans of the Mercury Cougar. Messages are either one thing or the other. Let me say (and you can check it out) The folks at Mercury always picked hot women to show off the Cougar - plain and simple.
This mans voice is familiar! He did all the line up announcements for the ABC Television Network. I recall he had that very exciting tone to his voice, especially when he announced for Charlies Angels, Threes company, Love boat and Fantasy Island!
I'm afraid your hot-tube time machine would disappoint you. There may not have been any mention of gas mileage or environmental safety in this commercial, but there was a lot of fuel economy consciousness and pollution concern in the US in the 70s, resulting in substantial downsizing at the end of the decade, emissions controls, etc, plus the introduction of a host of US-made subcompacts that actually sold well. And the huge bumpers on this baby were the result of the 1973 5-mph bumper laws.
@pioneer101112 Actually, I had one exactly like this & they DID have a catalytic convertor & emissions system & for a v-8 engine, got around 18 MPG, which was good back then! Nice thing was, you had about 8 feet from you to the front end of the car & it rode nice. It was like sitting in an overstuffed recliner goin down the road, unlike these modern rice-burnin', hard-seated, feel-every-rock-in-the-road, computerized, can't-work-on, cheap, tiny, plastic hunx-o-junk they call cars nowadays!'
@theothertroll "I'm just sad Farrah never got to experience my love sausage"!
you are most definitely a TROLL!! Now why would you think a beautiful, classy woman like FARRAH would want your little bitty weenie troll thingy. You're just a rude, disrespectful punk!! as far as the commercial goes, awesome, I miss the good old days and those rockin behemoths. God Bless Farrah!
These are very sharp under appreciated cars. Monte Carlo people beg to find one with the options that are standard on the Cougar. I like the 67-68 style best but once you start thinking 70's, this is tops. And hotter than a Torino.
@palebeachbum No son, rather it is you that does not seem to "get it' at all. How sad for both you and the good old days when people had class, and a cohesive thought in their God given brains! Pass the bottle.
@ColonelPhillipGreen No sense in arguing with these kids and young adults today. It is sad of who what they have become; disrespectful, rude, disobedient and ignorant (and they call us ignorant). They think they're better and know more than their elders, parents and older counter parts. I just been arguing with one about rock music and why today's music is so bad. They're not worth. I guess they'll find out sooner or later....the hard way.
I loved the Couger... with ET Mags, 50s in the back, 60s in the front. That car had the triple blinking tail-lights too. But hey, I had blacklight posters and long hippie hair so what do you expect.
Man, When he says "At the Sign of the Cat" that brings back total memories. Only 10 yrs old and no worries. Also remember how hazy and smoggy it was back then. ha ha
Car seats are identified by different design: Bench Seat, Bucket Seats, Captains Chairs.
Bucket seats generally sat lower than the stick shift and are more common in race cars, where as you would find a bench seat in a truck or older sedan.
Jack Condon, author of the Charlei's Angels Casebook, said in an interview on short lived tv THE INCURABLE COLLECTOR on ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT Network that in 1977, Farrah Fawcett's popularity skyrocketted to such a level that she was popular than Marilyn Monroe. That was due in part to CHARLIE'S ANGELS.
I forgot to add the word more in my comment. Farrah Fawcett's popularity skyrocktted to such a level in 1977, she was "more" popular than Marilyn Monroe. In the tv movie BEHIND THE SCENES: CHARLIE'S ANGELS, her husband, Lee Majors thought that Farrah would end just as Marilyn would. Farrah died too young but not due to any meltdowns or unhappiness which fame can cause. But due to cancer.
I wish my generation of women would take pride in thier hair like Farrahs. She looks so sexy driving that Cougar!

"With the rich feel of glove soft vinyl". What cheap-ass wears vinyl gloves? And since when is vinyl a sign of wealth or luxury? Gimme a break!

@palebeachbum Yes no doubt, that and showing that you have no class for even saying such a feeble and cheap remark on a classy commercial.

@palebeachbum No son, rather it is you that does not seem to "get it' at all. How sad for both you and the good old days when people had class, and a cohesive thought in their God given brains! Pass the bottle.

@ColonelPhillipGreen No sense in arguing with these kids and young adults today. It is sad of who what they have become; disrespectful, rude, disobedient and ignorant (and they call us ignorant). They think they're better and know more than their elders, parents and older counter parts. I just been arguing with one about rock music and why today's music is so bad. They're not worth. I guess they'll find out sooner or later....the hard way.

I loved the Couger... with ET Mags, 50s in the back, 60s in the front. That car had the triple blinking tail-lights too. But hey, I had blacklight posters and long hippie hair so what do you expect.

I didn't know Farrah was the original "Mercury Girl!" As announced today, the brand is dead circa 2012. A sign of the times.

I was thinking the same thing!! I thought, "there ain't no way in hell they're driving that thing outta there once it stops".
God I remember these commercials so vividly. They always had the cat growl at the end like that.

I was very young when this commercial was playing, but I remember it to this day and have always had flashbacks of it.

Man, When he says "At the Sign of the Cat" that brings back total memories. Only 10 yrs old and no worries. Also remember how hazy and smoggy it was back then. ha ha

Why ar car seats sometimes refered to as bucket seats?
67nairb 1 year ago
Car seats are identified by different design: Bench Seat, Bucket Seats, Captains Chairs.
Bucket seats generally sat lower than the stick shift and are more common in race cars, where as you would find a bench seat in a truck or older sedan.

Jack Condon, author of the Charlei's Angels Casebook, said in an interview on short lived tv THE INCURABLE COLLECTOR on ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT Network that in 1977, Farrah Fawcett's popularity skyrocketted to such a level that she was popular than Marilyn Monroe. That was due in part to CHARLIE'S ANGELS.

And that famous red swimsuit poster, 67nairb. Over 12 million of them sold.

I forgot to add the word more in my comment. Farrah Fawcett's popularity skyrocktted to such a level in 1977, she was "more" popular than Marilyn Monroe. In the tv movie BEHIND THE SCENES: CHARLIE'S ANGELS, her husband, Lee Majors thought that Farrah would end just as Marilyn would. Farrah died too young but not due to any meltdowns or unhappiness which fame can cause. But due to cancer.
