1967 MERCURY COUGAR

1967 MERCURY COUGAR 289 4V A-CODE

This is Emerelda.

She's my 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7.

You may have seen her in my videos. She's my only car. My daily driver.

My son Logan and I have been restoring her for the past 7 years (since he was 14) and we're mostly learning as we go as I knew NOTHING about cars when this whole thing started.

We've driven her all over Tennessee together.

Especially when Logan decided he wanted to learn how to cosplay, and joined the 501st as a First Order Snowtrooper.

Other than having to replace the engine 10 months into owner her... she's been really reliable.

We named her after Harvey Fierstein's character from my film Animal Crackers.

My son is away at college now and he's on his way home for the summer where he's already got a list of things he wants to fix on her.

It's been a great experience learning alongside him.

I still know so little about cars... but who cares?

We're learning together.

I know this isn't my normal video and no one will want to see it... but LOOK AT THIS SUNSET! My son and I took Esmerelda (our 67 Mercury Cougar) out before dinner the other day and... THIS!

Sorry. I'll get back to posting art again...

Mercury El Gato Concept, 1970. A fastback proposal for the future of the Cougar presented at the Chicago auto show, the El Gato (Spanish for cat) kept the “side spear” from the first generation Cougar mixed with LTD full width taillamps broken on the left by a racing-style filler cap. Meanwhile Mercury's product planners were sending the production Cougar in an entirely different direction.
