Wow, I heard about this two weeks ago.
Never owned one myself.

I can't believe they lasted this long. I almost never see any on the roads.

No wonder the Lincoln Mercury dealership pretty much closed up over night where I live.

Adios Mercury.:wave: I hardly knew thee.

I loved the old ones.

 

[Rekrul]

Long overdue.

It's been at least 30 years since a Mercury even looked remotely different from a Ford.

I loved the old ones.

My second car in the late 80's was a 73 Cougar XR7.
Gulf Stream aqua (like grabber blue) with white leather interior, black dash.
351 big block, aftermarket 4 barrel.
Best car I ever had. Beautiful machine.
Wish I never sold it.



GOODBYE MERC.

Wow, the Mercury Cougar was like one of my favorite cars. And when i got my license, I always wanted a Mountaineer.

Mercury has some good cars.

You beat me to it. :hatsoff:

Never owned one myself but I always thought they made a classy product.
