The Cougar was built to be a Mustang in a dinner jacket, and so you get the right proportions with an extra hint of premium.

Ford styling experts say the industry only gets about two good sales years after an introduction, but given how very different this car will appear against an American backdrop, it should have at least that many years of intense customer interest in the States. This 1973 Mercury Cougar XR7 convertible gives you all of this with V8 power, factory-correct colors, and a value price. Mercury sales literature at the time called Cougar 'a luxury sports car' and it featured mature styling and more luxurious interior appointments than its Mustang cousin, like the standard simulated.

Sport coupes don't have a long shelf life (though a convertible is being considered). Mercury introduced the car in September 1966 as an upscale Mustang with a more comfortable ride, thanks in part to a three-inch-longer wheelbase.

We believe the car will be an immediate hit with Europeans more used to the bolder shapes of autos from French and Italian styling studios. And modelers must have relied heavily upon a straight-edge as they cut the clay, shaping and sweetening the coupe's lines. The softly curving balloon shapes of the early and mid-'80s were banished from the studio for this coupe. Chiseled with sharp edges and crisply intersecting lines, it makes an eye-popping statement. The Cougar's highly controversial 'New Edge' look is certainly fresh and arresting.
