1967 Mercury Cougar
View Description
Although the name is iconic in Ford folklore, the introduction of the Cougar in 1967 was simply intended to give the upmarket Mercury division its own version of the Mustang. In the early years ('67 and '68) only a 2-door hardtop body-style was offered and ours comes in just that form. The delightful Silver Blue exterior paintjob is coupled with a glossy Black vinyl top and this '67 sits on era-appropriate wire hubcap wheels with white striped radial tires. You can see the hints of Pony Car in the Cougar, but this classy Cat has stand-alone features of its own such as hideaway headlights in a split front fascia and vertically slatted chrome trim on the taillights. It's hard to argue with the significantly higher quality of the Cougar interior either; this example features highlights such as Light Blue vinyl bucket seats with safety belts, gauges for speed/fuel level/water temperature and a clock behind a woodgrain tilt steering wheel, center console with hideaway storage cubby and built-in retro stereo with AM/FM radio. Air conditioning is also present to keep you feeling as cool as the car you're driving. The overall condition of the cabin materials is very good. You'll like what...
