Mercury Cougar is a nameplate 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 nameplate 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; Mercury advertised its
dealers as "The Sign of the Cat" with big cats atop Lincoln-Mercury
dealer signs. In line with the Cougar, several animal-related
nameplates were adopted by the division, including the 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.
