The Mercury Comet was introduced to the public on March 17th, 1960. During the 17 years from 1960-1977 the Comet had an enormous impact on the history and technology of the automotive industry. This blog is being written to help bring that history to light.
The Comet saw body styles that ranged from sporty compacts to station wagons, and also from full size family sedans to factory drag racers. The Comet Cyclone convertible was even used as the 1966 Indianapolis 500 Pace Car.
The Mercury Comet was, in this writer’s opinion, one of the most durable, reliable, and finest automobiles ever produced. This along with the racing history, proven durability records and competitions, and the advanced technology of the Comet, have made for a very desirable car then and a very collectible car now.
I have personally researched the Comet automobile since 1981 and have collected thousands of pieces of literature, documentations, advertisements and photographs. With the Comet becoming more and more scarce I felt that is was time to offer my findings to those who truly appreciate the Mercury Comet, its history, and technology.
I do hope you enjoy this Mercury Comet Blog and all it has to offer. Over the next few months I will be adding things like Production numbers, Technical Information, Data Plate Info, Photographs (many which have never been published), advertisements, and much more hoping to help those that are interested in these wonderful cars of the past.
Also please remember if you have comments, suggestions, questions, information, documentation, photographs, or just a story of an old Comet, please feel free to contact me, I love to hear it all.
