Cougar Conversion

Here is my 1986 Cougar that was factory converted in Florida to a Classic Tiffany in 1987. It retains all of the Cougar mechanics and interior with the addition of fiberglass body accents and lenghtening to 21 feet. I've had the car 20 years and it just rolled over 30,000 miles.

Wow...that's in really great shape! 20 years is a long time...you've done an incredible job maintaining it. Cool.

I swear, 90% of those Tiffanys are white... ;)

Nice and clean.....Eric, I've never seen one in person in white.  I've seen about 6 or 7 in red, no other color.....

That is one of the coolest mods I have ever seen. Is cougar the only car that is usually done to?

We either have a liar on our hands or someone who doesn't know how to take pictures.. The first car is an 87 88 conversion and the second is an 83 84 4 eye.  The wheels are different between the two cars.

I was looking only at the bottom photo...seems those are two different years. From what I understand, if there were any leftover '86 Cougars in 1987, they could be converted and titled as '87s. So a 1987 Tiffany could look like an '86. Still, those are totally different pix.

Me suspects a regular member is trying to stir things up. Especially since I've seen numerous posts about how ugly those are and how much they didn't like them.
 
BTW: If you look closely, you'll see the wheels are different too.

TOP:
87/88 Cougar base. "Smooth" wheels. Taillights mounted high on the rear fenders. No landau trim on the c-pillar. No pinstripe. Chrome center on spare.

BOTTOM:
85/86 Cougar base (look inside the window, you can see the shape of the 85-88 dash). "Wire" wheels. Taillights mounted low and far back on rear fenders. Landau trim on c-pillar. Blue pinstripe. Gold center on spare.

Which one is really yours?

I love em. Saw one in Medium Charcoal Metallic Clearcoat and it got me a little excited.
It's Gumby's fault.
