What kind of car is Mary Tyler Moore driving? It looks lik a Cougar or a Mustang but I could be totally wrong.

It's a Mustang, looks like one of those "Grande" models or whatever they called that squeaky clean luxury version, '70 or '71 I think.

'70 Mustang Coupe, has to be a '70 because of the vents outside of the headlights, the '69 had headlights in that place. Looks like an L Code car, which means a 250 ci inline 6 and a 3 speed auto. The non-Grande I-6 sold for about $2,700. A good rust free one would fetch about $7,000 these days.

More confirmation is found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mary_Tyler_Moore_Show

Scroll down, it gives the location of the shots.

Oh I knew it, but for some reason not too long ago this was a trivia question on a show I watched. I had looked it up during the show and remembered the long shot of the car. The one I liked better was the 3rd season of her washing the car in a Viking's jersey....man she was hot when she was younger.
