A day without the sun but oh well I had fun just driving her Cougar around town last friday before the weather turned bad. :rollin:

Beautiful. Now that car defines Mercury to me and will stand the test of time.

It says... I was inspired by a limousine but I'm not that stuffy. My Thunderbird pedigree keeps me sure-footed while the ride inside is oh so plush. You CAN have both for a reasonable price. I'm a black on black 1985 Mercury Cougar LS.

Nice car.

Chris , May have to wait and see how high the gas prices go first. I sure wish they still had the French Lick event going. :poke:

When I first got my cougar (at 19 years old) I hated the wire hubcaps. Now that Im alittle older they have grown on me. They look killer on your cat and I can't wait to get mine from Eric.

That is a nice clean cat.  Although I'm not a fan of 14" wheels on fox tbird/cougars.

Just looks too small to me.  I wish my paint job was 1/4 that nice.

Great looking car. Just needs new wheels. Some chrome Cobra R wheels would look sweeeeeeeet with that black paint.

Looks good Dan! I'm with Vinnie though, I think it needs wheels. You can always take them off and put the hub caps back on.
