Fox Thunderbird/Cougar TV ads?

Hi!
I was wondering if you know where I can find some Fox T-bird or Cougar TV ads over the net? Or maybe you have some of these videos on your computers? It would be great to see how Ford was advertising them back then? If you have some other T-bird related videos please let me know too. I'd love to see them!

These are TV, but no Fox Cougar or T-bird

Mariusz/Paul, here is a link to Vanderbuilt university's news/commercial archive. they have almost every ad that we have done in their storage. It will cost you about $30-$40 for a tape of each one. You will have to register with them, however it does not cost to do so. Hope this helps...

I saw that link, but I was actually looking for something we could all view for free.

huh...i cant remember seeing any tbird adds. mayby i was too young too notice them? i do remember an earlier lincoln mark VIII commercial that made an impression on me...
 
the mark rolled up to a bar of some sort that would hit the top of the windsheild if it didnt stop. then they showed the car racing toward it and the car lowering itself (the mark viiis lower themselves physically at either 55 or 65 mph or something like that for handaling and aerodinamics..) and then clearing under the bar....pretty neet...

Internet is full of stuff like this. If you aren't making money on it, it's not a big deal! Don't think Ford really cares about thier old ads. We won't tell anyone you shown us the ad ;)
I can't wait to see it! :)
