Product Description

While the story of Mercury muscle cars may not be as well-known as that of their Ford brethren, it is equally exciting. This Muscle Car Color History covers all the legendary editions of Mercury classics like the Cougar, Marauder, Cyclone and Cyclone Spoiler, and Comet. Detailed for the first time are the development of the Cougar XR 7, essentially an upscale Mustang; the evolution of the road-going Cyclone into its racing counterparts; and rare models and special editions like the Dan Gurney and Cale Yarborough Cyclones. Color photographs depict these seldom celebrated cars in mint condition. All Ford hi-po engines are covered.

3.0 out of 5 stars More "Comet" then Mercury!, March 9, 2009

By	D "EMPIRE ROMAN" (Pico Rivera,CA) - See all my reviews

I like Classic and some modern Mercs so I got this book. The book seems to me to spend more emphases on the history of the Comet. I'm not a big fan of that car. It does go over the cougar,capri,marauder,and cyclone just wish it had more info and pics of these cars as well as some of the earlier classics. But If you a big Merc fan or just a FoMoCo enthusiast its definitely worth checking out. It does mention the 03-04 marauder but at the time this car was just a concept(same as production model with diff wheels)
