We're not quite sure what's so personal about it, but it's boldly styled with a handsome new grille! Sure, it's a little more, uh, substantial than its 60s forebears, but those small Cougars were a little too impersonal for car buyers' tastes. Keep watching when the ad is done, because you get a bonus Old Milwaukee Beer ad, complete with Louis Armstrong impersonator and general Malaise-y goodness all around.
