Vehicle Description
The Mercury Cougar is a nameplate applied to a diverse series of
automobiles sold by Mercury from 1967 to 1997
For many years the Cougar was important to the image of the Mercury
division; advertising often identified its dealers as being "at the
sign of the cat". In the early 1970s as part of advertising for the
Cougar and Mercury, female models held big cats on leashes. In
production for 34 years, the Cougar nameplate is second only to the
Grand Marquis in its longevity in the Mercury model line.
1973 would be largely a carryover year for the Cougar, but it would
mark the last year of the Mustang-based Cougar and the final run of
Cougar convertibles; a light blue/white Cougar XR-7 convertible was
actually the "last" convertible built by Ford Motor Company in the
1970s. An automatic transmission and power front disc brakes became
standard, though a 4-speed manual transmission was still available
as a rarely ordered option. Many changes were scheduled for the
1973 models. Power figures continued to change, as new federal/EPA
regulations began their stranglehold on the V8 engines. The new
figures continued to fluctuate, but engine options remained
unchanged from 1972. The standard engine continued to be the 168 hp
Optional was the 264 hp 4 Barrel 351 Cobra Jet V8. This Well
