Photo de stock - Sep. 09, 1967 - The success car of the year - Mercury Cougar - stalks an even larger share of the specialty car market with four exciting models for 1968. Newest Cougar on the prowl is the 7.0 Litre GT.E, designed with the luxury and appointments of a grand touring car and the muscular appeal of a competition car. The Cougar GT.E, pictured above, features a power dome, wide lower body silver paint and quad exhaust pipes. Its promise of thrilling road performance is fulfilled by its 427-cubic-inch V-8 teamed with Select-Shift Merc-O-Matic transmission and backed by performance handling package, styled steel wheels, power disc brakes and power steering. New engines in a broader range and new engineering advances highlight the entire Cougar line. Ford Motor Company Lifeguard Design Safety Features, including energy-absorbing steering column and steering wheel, are incorporated in the new Cougars which go on sale in Lincoln-Mercury dealerships on September 22.
