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 I used to be 12 years outdated and just a little bummed out as a result of Sean Connery had stop enjoying the lead position of James Bond. I needn’t have fearful, it was a terrific 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, sporting stunning garments, driving stunning machines. It’s no marvel that they used a Cougar pushed by the beautiful actress Diana Rigg.
It was love at first sight for me with the Cougar, though Diana got here in an in depth second. After seeing the film, I vowed to myself that at some point I’d personal a Cougar convertible.
In 2014 I used to be wanting on ClassicCars.com, and I discovered a gorgeous 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 advertisements of the day stated, “twin hid headlamps that gleam by evening and conceal by day” and “rear flip alerts that glint in sequence.” After just a little soul looking I made a decision to purchase the automobile.
The automobile is an actual murals. If you have a look at the middle hood and entrance grille, you will notice the nostril of a cat. Also, 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 shade mixture of a Competition Gold exterior and Dark Tobacco Leather inside. Sometimes I believe this have to be the one Cougar on the planet on this shade mixture. This would make it one very uncommon cat certainly!
