In 1968, Mercury's mid-sized models again received new sheet metal
and styling that resembled the full-sized Mercury models and shared
their chassis and many parts with Ford's mid-sized Fairlane and
Torino models. The mid-sized base model was the Comet (Mercury
dropped the 202 suffix) available only as a two-door coupe. The
Capri was replaced by the Montego, and the Caliente by the Montego
MX. Also, the more luxurious Montego MX Brougham was basically an
option package for the Montego MX. Top-of-the-line, mid-sized
models continued to use the Cyclone and Cyclone GT names. A 302 cid
V8 engine using a two-barrel carburetor and generating 210 hp (160
kW) at 4600 rpm would replace the previous 289 cid V8 midway in the
1968 model year. For the 1969 model year, the grille was modified
and the headlight surrounds were removed. The taillights were also
slightly restyled. Few changes to Mercury's mid-sized lineup were
made for the 1969 model year, the last year that the Comet name
graced a mid-sized model. A Comet four-door sedan for 1969 was
supposedly planned, but never offered. New top-of-the-line Cyclone
Spoiler and Cyclone CJ models joined the lineup.
