This 1968 Cougar has undergone a detailed rotisserie restoration, ensuring a correct and tidy appearance. A significant part of the car's appeal includes its Brittany Blue paint. Today, this coupe stands as a top-notch classic, perfect for turning the best attributes of Motor City history into glorious road trips and years of weekend adventures.
Exterior Highlights:
• At the front, a prominent Mercury badge splits an ornate "Cougar" branded grille, which hides bright headlights
behind a squared bumper and bullet-style parking lamps.
• A cursive "Mercury" script atop the grille leads the eye to stainless-trimmed glass framed by satin wipers, a standard
mirror, and bright vinyl roofing.
• Fashionable marker lamps adorn the sides, along with stylish rocker trim, traditional door handles, and Canadian-
spec displacement emblems.
• At the rear, "Cougar" branding leads to sequential taillights, a trick trunk lock, small reverse lamps, another cursive
"Mercury" script, and a second squared bumper.
