1963-1969 Mercury Comet

摘要

The first two years of the Comet, 1960 and 1961, were badged solely Comet, with no divisional claim. In 1962, Mercury put their name on the car and styled the rear to match their other cars. It wasn't until 1963 that a V-8 was offered after complaints of the lack of power. The 260-inch V-8 wasn't much better at 164 hp, but it was an improvement. The compact unibody car got a boxy redesign in 1964, as well as improved engine and transmission options. This was also the year that the Cyclone was introduced as their high-performance model. They produced 50 special edition Cyclones to race Super Stock where they did extremely well.
