Vehicle Description
American automotive craftsmanship meets compact elegance in this
1962 Mercury Comet Custom showcasing a vibrant Ocean Turquoise
finish that captures the optimistic spirit of early 1960s design.
Mercury's answer to the compact car revolution stands proud with
clean body lines and tasteful chrome accents on the bumpers,
grille, and headlight surrounds. The simple yet distinctive styling
of this two-door sedan features the model's signature canted
tailfins and angled rear deck. Rolling on 13-inch wheels with
6.50-13 tires, this Comet maintains its authentic factory
appearance from every angle.
The two-tone Turquoise and Ivory interior creates a perfect
period-correct environment that recalls the colorful aesthetic of
early sixties design. The split-bench vinyl seats provide
comfortable seating while maintaining the original look. Chrome
accents throughout the cabin add brightness against the turquoise
dashboard, which houses the factory gauge cluster in excellent
condition. An AM radio offers entertainment while cruising, and the
column-mounted shifter keeps the floor uncluttered. The expansive
greenhouse provides excellent visibility with well-maintained
window felts surrounding each pane of glass.
Mechanical simplicity defines this Comet's powertrain with its 170
cubic inch inline-six engine connected to a three-speed manual
transmission. The 2-barrel carburetor setup delivers adequate power
for this compact classic while maintaining excellent fuel
efficiency. Mechanical drum brakes handle stopping duties while the
coil spring front suspension with sway bar and leaf spring rear
suspension provide a balanced ride quality. Newer components
include an aftermarket muffler in the single exhaust system, fresh
distributor cap, and plug wires, ensuring this Comet runs reliably
for its next caretaker.
