Welcome to the biography of a car. This car, to be specific, is a 1968 Mercury Cougar, bought by a Mr. Vanole on the sixteenth of March, in the year of our lord, 1968. In 1997 it was bought by one Eric Todd. Yes, you guessed it, that is me. Due to my love for this car, and the love of several of my friends, I have decided to dedicate this web page to the goings on of this car, from the back seat to the vacuum-operated grill. Everything. Unfortunately, since I came into possession of this car only recently, I will not be able to give an accurate account of it's early life, but I will give as detailed an account as possible, including pictures and document scans, as long as the car is in my possession. This site will always be under construction, for obvious reasons, so check back often. And I hope you fall as in love with this car as I have.
