With its dazzling red exterior, this 1966 Mercury Comet Caliente
Convertible is a vibrant flashback to the era of sun-soaked beach
parties and the upbeat rhythms of '60s beach music, capturing the
essence of a beach sunset. It features the debut of this model's
much sought-after stacked headlight design. The newer black vinyl
top complements the red body like the perfect sunglasses on a sunny
day. It stands proudly on 14" Cragar SS wheels - the automotive
equivalent of the coolest beach sandals, ready to cruise any
boulevard or beachfront drive.
Enveloped in a no-nonsense, pristine black vinyl interior, this
Caliente Convertible mirrors the perfect beach ensemble -
effortless, stylish, and always fitting. The spacious bench seat,
adorned in black vinyl, offers comfort and style. The column
shifter stands sleek and discreet, ready when you need it. The dash
is uncluttered and functional, reflecting the minimalist beauty of
the horizon line where the ocean meets the sky. While the original
AM radio is currently silent, its presence adds a touch of
authenticity, evoking images of classic beach tunes gently wafting
through the air.
Underneath the hood lies the heart of this beach cruiser - a 289 V8
engine paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission, a
straightforward, no-frills powerhouse. Representing less than 3% of
1966 Comet production, it features a Ford Racing valve cover, an
electronic distributor, and an aluminum radiator to keep things
cool, even on the hottest summer days.
