We were reminded of the incredible goodness of the three-stage sequential turn signals used by late-60s/early-70s Mercury Cougars after seeing the '73 Cougar DOTS car a week ago, so a little digging on the Tube That Is You and voila! The mechanism...
How is it that I've only had one Mercury Cougar in this series so far, and that a Malaisemobile? Even worse, we forgot about all about the 40th anniversary of the Cougar last, in spite of repeated reminders from the Colorado Cougar Club! Maybe the...
Welcome to Down On The Street, where we admire old vehicles found parked on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot: Alameda, California. We've seen a few Alameda Cougars so far, including this '67 (which later turned up in the wrecking yard),...
