Mike FraserCame out of watching ball hockey provincials yesterday and look what parked next to me. Late 60s Mercury Cougar. #CarClub
steve mookie kong@mike Two beauties!
Angry Centrist@mike 69 or 70... I can't be sure without seeing the nose but those little reverse lights flanking the sequential turn signals are 69-70 kit, and the 71s got big and fugly.
@dkbgeek As was the case with many 70s cars. Thanks! Late 60s, very early 70s always seems to be the sweet spot as far as I'm concerned.
@mike Not just looks... after '71 Detroit's clumsy first attempts at cleaning up emissions destroyed horsepower faster than Elmo Muskmelon destroys the value of companies. There's a good reason car geeks call the '70s and early '80s the "Malaise Era"
