If you were affluent in the Eighties and lived in Miami, you could reach out to the folks over at Classic Motor Carriages (CMC). What they did was take your Eighties car and turn it into a Thirties show car in terms of design, resulting in head-turners even in 2022! As well as dealing with cars from Porsche and Mercedes-Benz, CMC turned their attention to the brand-new Eighties Mercury Cougar, making it look nothing like it did when it rolled off the factory floors. Rumor has it that there were only 50 examples based on the 80s Mercury Cougar platform made. Here’s a 1988 Mercury Cougar Tiffany Coupe courtesy of CMC. Located in Texas this unusual machine has just 47,500 miles run since new according to its current owner.
Whilst Mercury developed the sixth generation Cougar with computer-aided design, this 1988 Mercury Cougar Tiffany Coupe, sporting a modified body in white, and all its bells and whistles which include a twin fog lamps, stainless steel bumpers, running boards and even 4 trumpet horns, doesn't take away every single design feature as upon closer inspection it’s hard to not miss the notchback design of the sixth-generation Cougar. Wire wheels and white-wall tires complete the retro look. The body and exterior features may have been changed but the interior on this 1988 Mercury Cougar Tiffany Coupe is completely original. From the period steering wheel with Cougar insignia which overlooks an uber-cool digital dash to the tan interior and factory cloth seats with electrical adjustment, it’s all sixth generation Cougar. The seller notes that the windows work, and is reported to have fixed the AC as well. You get a Pyle Plus CD/cassette player installed, and the steering wheel sports cruise control buttons as well.
Driving feel was geared more towards a smooth ride in this 1988 Mercury Cougar Tiffany Coupe and the 5.0L V8 Windsor present under the hood does that job quite well. Power is sent to the rear wheels of the car through an automatic gearbox with the gears being chosen through a column styled gearbox. It’s also reported that a new fuel pump has been installed.

The Mercury Cougar has worn many hats. Initially debuting as a more upscale pony car, it has also been a personal luxury car later in its life. Sadly, the name bowed out in 2002 and hasn't been seen since then. That's why vehicles such as this first-generation 1969 Mercury Cougar are important pieces of American history. They also make fine classics for those dipping their toes into the world of Sixties and Seventies cars. What's even more appealing is that this car packs just 41,102 miles and still bears its original engine.
Mercury is another great American automotive name that has fallen by the wayside. Founded by Edsel Ford in 1938, it was intended to sit between the Ford and Lincoln brands. By 2011, the brand was defunct, but there's no need to shed tears because along the way, Mercury gave us some greats. One of those was the Cougar. It straddled the lines of a pony car and a personal luxury car. And that's why, if you're a Cougar or Mercury fan, this first-generation 1968 Mercury Cougar will be of particular interest. The car has done a tad over 100,000 miles, highlighting the fact that it's meant to be driven. However, these cars are sturdy and reliable, so you need not be apprehensive at its six-figure mileage. The current owner reports that it's received new tires and an oil change, too, further easing any concerns you may have. Let us tell you more about this piece of Sixties history.
The first-generation Mercury Cougar is one of the best ways to experience classic American muscle. Based on the first-generation Ford Mustang, the Cougar presented a different, more European-inspired take on the platform. The Mercury featured hidden headlights and a stretched cabin, making the car three inches longer than the Mustang. It remains a solid choice for anyone considering something different from the norm. Our featured car offered for sale includes the original 302ci V8 engine and has convenience features such as air conditioning and upgraded upholstery. With a reported mileage of 74,710, this maroon red 1968 MY Mercury Cougar is an excellent example of classic pony car.
