applied to a diverse series of automobiles sold by the Mercury
division of Ford from 1967 to 1997 and from 1999 to 2002. While the
nameplate is most commonly associated with two-door coupes, at
various times during its production, the Cougar was also marketed
as a convertible, four-door sedan, station wagon, and hatchback.
With 2,972,784 examples produced, the Cougar is the highest-selling
vehicle ever produced by the Mercury brand; its 34-year production
is second only to the Grand Marquis in the Mercury model line
(produced for 36 years). During the 1970s and 1980s, the Cougar was
closely tied to the marketing of the Mercury division; advertising
marketing dealers as being "the sign of the cat" along with models
with big cats on leashes appearing in brochures. In line with the
Cougar, Mercury introduced animal-related nameplates, including
Bobcat, Lynx, and Sable. During its production, the Cougar was
assembled at the Dearborn Assembly Plant (part of the Ford River
Rouge Complex) in Dearborn, Michigan from 1967 to 1973, San Jose
Assembly (Milpitas, California) from 1968 into early 1969, Lorain
Assembly (Lorain, Ohio) from 1974 to 1997, and at Flat Rock
Assembly (Flat Rock, Michigan) from 1999 to 2002.
