Summary

Description

Edsel Ford introduced the Mercury in 1939 as a model to fill the gap between the basic Ford, and the luxury Lincoln. The Mercury Cougar was based on Fords pony car, the Mustang from 1967-73, then the Ford Torino form 1974-80. The second generation was built from 1971-73, it was completely restyled, the front end now featured four exposed headlights; the disappearing headlights were eliminated. The centre grille piece was now larger, sharing its appearance with the 1971 Mercury Cyclone. The convertible returned, as did the XR-7 and the GT package. The Eliminator package was dropped, but the Ram Air option remained. Engines were 240hp 351 Windsor or 285hp Cleveland and the 370hp 429 Super Cobra Jet 1972 saw only minor changes to the appearance, now no big block. Models for 1972 were the 2 door Hardtop or Convertible, in base or upmarket XR-7

In 1973, again only minor changes, the front bumper now only protruding forward, rather than dipping down in the centre like the 71, 72 cars.
