Does anyone have late-80s Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parades on tape? I am looking for a specific clip...

Yes, I know retrocrush or x-entertainment have those recaps and clips, but I am looking for a specific clip. It didn't last for more than 30 seconds:

Herbie the Love Bug is coasting at parade speed. It billows theatrical smoke and two dudes in racing gear are tumbling in and out of Herbie.

It's one of the first things I ever enjoyed watching. I learned how to work a VCR so I could watch it over and over. I know it is a long shot, asking for 20 seconds of television from two decades ago, but it has to exist somewhere.

If I had to guess: 1989. It aired Thanksgiving '89. I could be wrong.

If ever there was a way to redeem reddit, the self-proclaimed front page of the INTERNET, in these dire times, it is this. There's a school media library somewhere with this in it.
