Vintage dealerships

That's a neat ad - I bet Bill Mercman would like that!

 

Bradford Vermont

 

Yeah, but it's for a red one with white vinyl. It'd look like a fire chief's car.

 

Says "2-Dr Hardtop", but it's a 4-Door.

Not a bad price for 1976.

 

I would like that car. I think I did wind up with a newspaper “bait” car for Ken John’s here in Albuquerque. Mine is white with a red interior. As far as options…… Hold my beer……. Fender skirts. Yup that’s it. Dealer installed am/fm but that’s it. Unicorn no doubt, but I kinda dig it. Don’t think mine came with the Cougar either.

 

I bought a 75 Matador and an 80 Spirit there

 

Had never heard of the Cole. https://www.classicspeedsters.com/blog/2020/12/15/the-cole-speedster

 

It’s Interesting that Joseph Cole was very instrumental in the newly developed Cadillac V-8. engine in 1915. Ed Cole, chief engineer at Chevrolet was the force behind the Chevy small block, and later became CEO of GM in 1967. Wonder if they were related? It would have been interesting to see what Ed Cole could have done to Checker had he not died in a plane wreck in 1977, shortly after being named it’s head.

 

A friend sent me this a year or two ago. Whenever see a Mercury add with a cougar it always draws me back to this……. Yikes

 

It looks a little rougher than the Cougar I had

 

Hmmmmm think that answer might be in the flip of a quarter. Your Cougar looks a tad worn too. Lol
