None. Having said that I am confident that they do have it.
The time period we are talking about here 1978-1980 was still the era of the big three networks in the U.S. Therefore there's only a limited pool of commercials for them to draw upon.
L'oreal was a major player in the cosmetics industry, and the commercial was very sexy for the time so I would think that would add to the value of having such an ad in the archive.
Maybe I'm just being overly optimistic here because I'd love to see it again.
