My first car was a ‘67 Mercury Cougar - a cousin of the Ford Mustang and one fine vehicle.

As an owner of a 1970 Mercury Cougar XR7 Convertible with a 4V 351C, I object.

lol — I figured it was something like that. And I must admit I kind of like the Goof Balls part.

My first car was a 77 Mercury Montego. Kissing cousin of the Cougar. Lots of duplication between Ford and Merc.

Pretty cool. I almost bought a 1965 Mercury Comet a few years ago.

"Ford Plans to Kill Storied Mercury"

If Ford would make new MErcs look and run like this:

"preparing to phase out its 71-year old Mercury brand"

Huh. I read a fairly lucid story recently about 72 years being the natural and inevitable lifespan of an astounding number of disparate things and ideas. It's why a son fails with his father's successful business, for example.
