awesome vehicles: The Mercury Cougar was introduced in 1967 as an
upscale fraternal twin to the Ford Mustang, although the Cougar's
wheelbase was 3" longer and they shared no body panels. The Cougar
also would not share the Mustang's fastback bodystyle, a notchback
bodystyle was the only one offered. The "ponycar" market by this
time was really starting to heat up, as 1967 also saw the
introduction of the Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird and
Plymouth's second generation Barracuda, and after an unprecedented
1,000,000 Mustang sales in less than 3 years, Mercury desperately
wanted to cash in on some of the action - hence the Cougar. Mercury
successfully combined many luxury-car styling touches to the Cougar
such as hidden quad headlights, extra chrome-laden trim and large
horizontal taillights with the ultra-cool sequential turn-signal
design borrowed from the Ford Thunderbird.1969s got a minor body
restyle and facelift, with a new grille that was now
horizontally-barred and stretched all the way across the nose,
replacing the previous vertical split "electric-shaver" grille
design. Taillights were restyled too, they now canted inward
instead of outward, but the style was largely the same. A
convertible model was added to the lineup this year. Center Console
