I was watching the history channel special on the history of Pizza when I could not believe my eyes!
They showed an early Pizza Hut commercial that featured a Mustang Junior in the ad.
The commercial shows a guy getting his pies to go then he heads outside and jumps into a 1965-66 Mustang junior placing the pizza on the hood. He then backs out of his parking spot toward the camera where you can see a pizza hut logo on the tail panel.
I checked youtube and pizzahut.com trying to find the commerial but they do not have it. I would love to find the original ad in full with audio.

American eats / pizza!! that is the name of the program
I have it on second generation VCR tape but would like to get it in it's original form with audio. The History channel split it up and does not have the audio from the commercial.
Guess I would have to contact Pizza hut for that one? wonder if they would honor that request?

The company gained national recognition in its first-ever advertising campaign, called "Putt Putt to Pizza Hut," which first debuted on American television in 1965. That first TV commercial was directed by Randall Parker.
I would guess this is it?
