In 1972 I went to the $0.49 movie show on Hollywood Blvd. to see the movie On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. I used to be 12 years outdated and a little bit bummed out as a result of Sean Connery had stop taking part in the lead position of James Bond. I needn’t have anxious, it was an excellent movie.
This was the primary time I had ever seen a Mercury Cougar Convertible. In these days Bond movies had been at all times about stunning folks, in stunning locations, carrying stunning garments, driving stunning machines. It’s no surprise that they used a Cougar pushed by the stunning actress Diana Rigg.
It was love at first sight for me with the Cougar, though Diana got here in a detailed second. After seeing the film, I vowed to myself that in the future I might personal a Cougar convertible.
In 2014 I used to be wanting on ClassicCars.com, and I discovered an exquisite 1970 Cougar XR-7 Convertible. The factor about Cougars is: they are surely a sublime, upscale Mustang with very distinctive options. I really like the entrance grille with, because the adverts of the day stated, “twin hid headlamps that gleam by night time and conceal by day” and “rear flip alerts that glint in sequence.” After a little bit soul looking I made a decision to purchase the automobile.
The automobile is an actual murals. In the event you take a look at the middle hood and entrance grille, you will note the nostril of a cat. Additionally, the very entrance fenders resemble a cat’s ear. Amazingly, out of some 4,000 1970 Cougar convertibles constructed, solely three got here on this colour mixture of a Competitors Gold exterior and Darkish Tobacco Leather-based inside. Generally I believe this have to be the one Cougar on the planet on this colour mixture. This may make it one very uncommon cat certainly!
