Mercury

Not everyone appreciates the beauty of a fully customized Mercury Comet or Cougar. Mercury cars don’t always get the attention they deserve but when we come across a great one, we try to get it in. Take a look at the 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente and the journey of one man eager to please his wife with a manual transmission swap, new Mustang motor and more.
