Ford Mercury "cougar" 1967 on 2040-cars
Tangerine, Florida, United States
Offering our 1967 Classic Ford Mercury "Cougar". The car is pretty much original. Never been wrecked or messed/wrenched with. We have known the car and it's former owner for some years. The 86 year old man had bought it from the original owners wife, also an older man who passed away. The car hasn't seen any water or rain in years if ever. Everything works incl. lights. The AC works just fine and is efficient as well. Brakes are in good condition but are no Powerbrakes.
Tires are in good condition. Seats do not have tears. Engine is a 289 and still original. Automatic Transmission as well. Trunk in superb condition. Still with the original liners. Hood has a dent on front. Someone must have pushed down to close. Also on the left hand side is a small dent. Easy to pull out by a Dent Pull Expert who we have used before. No paint job necessary afterwards. Can send pictures of the minor dents if needed. Car has all original hub caps. Key sets are original. Clear title. Start up and ride it home. Great onlooker at Classic Car Shows. Why we are selling it? Too many Classic Cars in our collection. Hangar is full. Most of all, getting tired of moving the Classic Cars out of the way when taking out the Airplanes. Note: Seller requests a downpayment of $ 500,00 within 48 hours after auction is closed. |

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
