Unfortunately I have no way to get the video converted to digital form at the moment, but at least you can enjoy the audio portion. All MP3 format.

From the mid/late 1950s:

(The young lady we see getting into the brand new 1969 Mercury Cougar actually has a cougar sitting next to her in the passenger seat!)
