Vehicle Description
The Mercury Cougar was first introduced in 1967 and finally gave
the brand its own pony car. The Cougar was based on the Mustang and
featured a lot of shared mechanicals but a three inch longer
wheelbase. The exterior was meant to evoke a more European flavor
and the car was said to have drawn inspiration from the Jaguar
E-type. 1970 was the last year for the first generation Cougar and
included a host of changes including more standard features,
revised styling, and a new 351cid "Cleveland" V8 engine option.
