70s Spots: Mercury Cougar Line-Up (Farrah Fawcett) & Lincoln Continental (1977)

“New action for the Cat Set.”

A pair of Ford commercials driving in. In the first spot, from March 1977, Farrah Fawcett shows us the new Mercury Cougar line-up while cavorting with wild animals.

The second spot aired in April of ’77 and presents the large and luxurious Lincoln Continental. I think Ford was trying to turn a possible liability into a virtue here.
