The Mercury Comet was first introduced in 1960 displaying only Comet badges and was sold through Lincoln-Mercury dealerships as a standard model for two years. The Comet was initially intended to be a compact Edsel. It was first based on the Ford Falcon, though its design was esteemed and had a 4.5-inch-longer wheelbase. However, as Ford decided to end the Edsel program in 1959, the Comet become an orphan and was marketed as a stand-alone model for two years. Not soon after, Mercury figured that the Comet sold better than Mercury-badged models, and took it under their wing. This is one such 1960 Mercury Comet, which belongs to the only two years the Comet was a freestanding model. This icon currently resides in New York and comes with its receipts and documentation.
