Here's a fun, first generation classic Comet for your
consideration. Although styled more conservatively than the later
generation Comets, the first generation cars are attractive and
comfortable cars. Originally planned as an Edsel model (notice the
angled tail lights and fins reminiscent of the Edsels), the Edsel
program was ended in late 1959 so that never happened. The Comet
was a compact car first marketed only as a Comet, rather than a
Mercury Comet as the later models were known. This particular Comet
is a great budget classic perfect for cruising. This car has smooth
exterior styling, a comfortable interior, and an Inline 6 under the
hood. At some point, the car was re-painted in the original white
with a blue metallic paint applied to the roof for a little
exterior contrast. Trim and exterior panels are in very good
condition. Our client sourced the car from Colorado, so if you
examine our pictures, you will see that the car is solid. Inside
the car is a very simple, economy interior finished in a few
different shades of blue trim. The matching blue dashboard is very
simple in layout, featuring a few simple knobs, an AM Radio,
contrasting white steering wheel, and a gauge cluster with a
sweeping needle speedometer. The driving position is comfortable
and the ease of driving makes any trip in this classic car
enjoyable. We can assure you that chances are pretty good that if
you take this Comet to a car show or cruise you will be the only
one with a first generation Comet. Be sure to check out all the
