Mercury Cougar American Muscle Car

***DESCRIPTION***

Another cracking muscle car from the USA in the 1960's. The introduction of the Cougar gave Mercury its own "pony car". Slotted between the Ford Mustang and the Ford Thunderbird, the Cougar was the performance icon and eventually the icon for the Mercury name for several decades.

The 1967 Cougar, with the internal code T-7, went on sale September 30, 1966. It was based on the 1967 refreshed first-generation Mustang but with a 3-in-longer (111 in) wheelbase and new sheet metal. A full-width divided grille with hidden headlamps and vertical bars defined the front fascia—it was sometimes called the electric shaver grille.

A deliberate effort was made to give the car a more "European" flavor than the Mustang, at least to American buyers' eyes, drawing inspiration from the popular Jaguar E-Type.

***THE ILLUSTRATION***

All Billeresque images are high definition illustrations. Often our viewers think our work is photographic, but I promise you this is not the case! All illustrations are hand drawn pieces of art, created at huge sizes so that the details and colours are sharp and vibrant.

***MATERIAL***

We print on high quality semi-gloss photopaper.
This is a high quality print material that has a great sheen but doesn't over reflect light.
