Here's a commercial for the 1977 Mercury Cougar XR-7 featuring the then - Farrah Fawcett-Majors, aired just six days after the premiere of a new series that she would co-star in, Charlie's Angels, which would rocket her to superstardom (and make a picture of her in a red swimsuit a feature of many a hot-blooded young male's walls and/or T-shirt).
This version of this veritable vehicle was slated to be unveiled Friday, October 1st, and would be joined by companion models such as Mercury Cougar Brougham (4-door sedan), 2-door hard top, and Villager station wagon.
Bonus: Followed by animated ABC ID with lower-third local station ID (from WLS Channel 7).
"Hey! You wanna see my XR-7 . . . more of a Cougar than any Cougar before . . . "
This aired on local Chicago TV on Tuesday, September 28th 1976 within the 7:30pm to 8:00pm timeframe.
About The Museum of Classic Chicago Television:
The MCCTv (FuzzyMemoriesTV) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit whose primary mission is the preservation and display of off-air, early home videotape recordings (70s to early 80s, mostly) recorded off of TV (in Chicago or other cities now too); things which would likely be lost if not sought out and preserved digitally. If you have any old 1970s videotapes recorded off of TV please email: tapes@fuzzy.tv Even though (mostly) short clips are displayed here, we preserve the entire broadcasts in our archives - the complete programs with breaks (or however much is present on the tape), for historical preservation. For information on how to help in our mission, to donate or lend tapes to be converted to DVD, please e-mail tapes@fuzzy.tv Thank you for your help!
