I have a very specific ask. I'm looking for a Farmer Jack commercial from the early to mid 80s that starts and ends with a FJ truck pulling into a parking lot and at some point in the commercial the truck driver talks about "cherries from Traverse City." I will give $40 to whoever finds it first.

My understanding is it opens with a truck in the parking lot at the break of dawn, driven by my dad but zoomed far out enough that you can't see the driver, and it closes with him pulling into the lot at dusk, implying he drove all day to get cherries? I love this FJ/A&P time capsule though!

If it's an incentive to help me, the reason I am looking for this is because my dad was the one driving the truck in the opening and closing shots. Even though you can't see him, it's still special to me and I'd love to finally see it after decades of hearing about it.

Since I'm thinking of it, there's a Geoffrey Fieger commercial from the 1998 Michigan gubernatorial race where a woman says she doesn't have to like someone as a person to believe they'll do a good job and even at 13 years old, I thought that was a hilarious way to advertise yourself. $20 for that.
