In the mid sixties Ford was sweeping the nation with their new
release of the Mustang that was affordable for the common man,
powerful, and yet still a practical every day cruiser. After the
mustang really started to catch on, its sister company Mercury
launched the Cougar in 1967. The Cougar was a mix between the
sporty Mustang and the luxurious Thunderbird and was a big hit that
last for years and multiple body configurations. This 1970 Mercury
Cougar featured in this ad was the very last production year of the
first generation and features a spectacular black paint job on it
that is a near mirror finish. Contrasting against the black paint
job, the white vinyl interior has held up nicely over the years and
stays nice and cool even on those hot summer days. Sitting under
the hood of this classic Mercury is a 351 Windsor that gives the
driver ample amounts of power for an enjoyable day of cruising. The
3 speed automatic transmission allows you to sit back and enjoy
your surroundings without worrying about shifting. As you are
driving along the power steering and power brakes will assist you
ensuring your cruise will not be cut short by fatigue. One of the
more subtle yet important aspects of the Cougar to highlight is the
sequential taillights that will move from the inner to outer end of
the taillight that was, and still is, one of the coolest features
on this car. This classic Mercury is a truly enjoyable car to drive
and will surely get you away from your daily routine or at least
and some entertainment! This vehicle is located in our Denver
