In 1971, Mercury unleashed a beast on wheels—the Mercury Cougar 429 Cobra Jet 4-Speed Convertible. Picture this: only 16 of these rare felines prowled the streets, all decked out in Metallic Blue with dazzling white tops and interiors. These flashy convertibles weren’t just cars; they were the automotive world’s version of peacocks, strutting their stuff as publicity cars to drum up excitement. If you’re a car enthusiast, this is the kind of feline you’ll want purring in your garage!
