She was a beautiful lady but...nah, she didn't look like Cheryl. I think she did occasionally cart the family cat to the vet in the "Midnight Cat" Cougar though!

For how huge these cars are, they have incredibly little rear seat legroom unless the front seat is all the way forward. I had a '77 T-Bird so I know. A Cobalt back seat may actually be more comfortable.

Also: Why isn't Mercury still using live cats in its commercials? I mean, it's not like they have much to lose in terms of sales. Do they have a restraining order from PETA? Is Jill Wagner allergic? I demand an answer, Jim Farley!

]]> <![CDATA[Cheryl Tiegs Joins The Cat Set In Her '78 Cougar XR-7]]> Farrah who? Cheryl Tiegs was HAWT,and so was Cheryl Ladd.

Anyway, those cars were very popular around here,and you still might see one once in a blue moon. They were usually sporting curb-feelers,white letter tires,and sometimes even "shotgun" dual exhuasts with cheap chrome tips. "Kool and the Gang" was usually blasting from them also.

They were pure malaise no doubt.

]]> <![CDATA[Cheryl Tiegs Joins The Cat Set In Her '78 Cougar XR-7]]> I would see these cars in my High School parking lot all the time. Usually the result of Grandma getting a new malaise mobile. These things were uglier than a ripped sneaker.

]]> <![CDATA[Cheryl Tiegs Joins The Cat Set In Her '78 Cougar XR-7]]> You can see that they were going for the Baby Lincoln Continental look with this one, or Mini-Marquis--I'd like to see a picture of the first year Cougar beside this behemoth.
(I am staying auto-related and ignoring the obvious Cougar jokes. The best of which have probably already been made.)

]]> <![CDATA[Cheryl Tiegs Joins The Cat Set In Her '78 Cougar XR-7]]> Hate on this car if you will but in high school, I had a friend with one of these and we double-dated one night. He and his girl in the front seats, me and mine in the back. Try THAT in your Chevy Cobalt suckahs!

(yea, it DID smell like wet cat in the back now that I think about it. :D )

]]> <![CDATA[Cheryl Tiegs Joins The Cat Set In Her '78 Cougar XR-7]]> One of the most wretched car designs of the 70's, with a special color scheme of Midnight Blue, and an orange color called chamois. Even the polycast wheels were the same color as the padded landau roof, and tire deck.

And yet, I want one so badly.... go figure.

]]> <![CDATA[Cheryl Tiegs Joins The Cat Set In Her '78 Cougar XR-7]]> My Dad once worked at at Mercury dealer. Once as part of some promotion they had a live cougar in the show room. One night the cougar got out of it's cage and proceeded to shred the interiors of all the cars in the show room.

My favorite late '70's Cheryl was Ladd.

hahahahaha
I can just picture that. your poor buddy is probably living in an SRO somewhere nursing his post-malaise era meth addiction as a result of the shame of that day.
I shall have a moment of silence today and toast him with my (and meth addicts) daily drink of choice- mountain dew.

"he had done at the last stop sign."
wow. that's sad.

]]> <![CDATA[Cheryl Tiegs Joins The Cat Set In Her '78 Cougar XR-7]]> A friend of mine had one of these with the malaisy standard 302. He was giving me a ride somewhere and as we approached a stop sign I asked him to show me what the old girl could do...to which he responded that he had done at the last stop sign. Later on when we were attempting some hoonage in a rainsoaked parking lot, we couldn't get the rear end to totally slip, it would only spin the inside tire. I did enjoy the lay-z-boy seats and large size though.

One of these Cougars just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which Cougar is not like the others
By the time I finish my song?

Did you guess which Cougar was not like the others?
Did you guess which Cougar just doesn't belong?
If you guessed the black cat is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely...right!

It's the only one who didn't require extensive bodywork and excessive maintenance over the last 30 years!
