introduction of the Cougar finally gave Mercury its own "pony car".
Slotted between the Ford Mustang and the Ford Thunderbird, the
Cougar was the performance icon and eventually the icon for the
Mercury name for several decades. The Cougar was available in two
models (base and XR-7) and only came in one body style (a two-door
hardtop, no center or B-pillar). The standard engine was the 200 hp
289 cu in two-barrel V8.The 1967 Cougar, with the internal code
T-7, went on sale September 30, 1966.It was based on the 1967
refreshed first-generation Mustang,but with a 3-in-longer (76mm)
wheelbase and new sheet metal. A full-width divided grille with
hidden headlamps and vertical bars defined the front fasciait was
sometimes called the electric shaver grille. At the rear, a similar
treatment had the license plate surrounded on both sides with
vertically slatted grille work concealing tail lights (with
sequential turn signals), a styling touch taken from the
Thunderbird.
