You know what, I'm going to throw this one in here.
The 1984 Mercury Cougar. I only went to look up this car because I remember my mom driving one when I was practically a baby. Up until '91 or so in fact.
She says that the commercial is what sold her in '84. She said just the other day that it was the new sleek looks that hooked her, like nothing she'd ever seen at the time. Her excuse for buying one was that my childseat wouldn't fit into my dad's Porsche, so they needed a Family Car. This was it, and I remember it well.
Yeah, so anyway, If I can work a deal, this is going to be my next car: The 1961 Imperial by Chrysler
