Yeah, I noticed how short the pants were also. We used to say the person was ready for a flood. LOL JohnAnyone else notice how short the guys pants were that got out of the GTE. I think we used to call those high-waters or something like that. LOL
I didn't see any men in the video. Just some neat cars and that chick with the nice dress. I do remember when I was a kid if anyone had pants that were cut a few inches above the ankle, then yes. Those were high waters. Usually it was because you were outgrowing your pants quicker than your parents could buy new ones. You kept wearing them. Now it's the style for some women, only they call em Capris. To me, they'e still highwaters. And as 68PUMA said, we'd ask "when's the flood?".I love those old commercials, YouTube has literally 100's of them from all makes and models. They make a good cheap night(s) worth of entertainment.

Maybe this?:Boodieman can you post the link to the story your referring too?
Being a tennis fan, I don't like when people say or write "Wimbleton" (3rd paragraph down). It's worse than saying RX7Maybe this?:

Don't know. After reading this thread I goggled Phil Parcels mercury cougar gte and this link was the second one down. It did seem to cut off abruptly I thought but didn't have time to search any more. Phil just e-mailed me this AM congratulating me on a '71 I just picked up and reported to him, so maybe I will e-mail back and ask him if he would be willing to shed anymore light, etc....Ragcat;
Thanks for posting the link. Its a great write up on the VIN 038 GTE, but I think it needs some finshing as to the "rest of the story" on the restoration after 2003. Is there another link to visit that continues on with the story? Or maybe Phil would like to fill us in. :wave:
Very interesting link. Thanks for posting it. I wonder which way each person here would want it restored if they owned it. With the original factory 427, or with the also correct/original factory 428?Maybe this?:
