The Cougar S I have pics of had 6-spoke HRE 540-series rims. At 18"x8" those would go for like $4k for just the wheels alone. I would have loved to have owned that car (except it prolly had an MTX-75).


Have you put in your $0.02 to save contour.org?? Put in what you can spare to keep the site up. Check the General Forum.

The Last 'New Edge' Cougar is supposed to roll down the assembly line in a few weeks. It was a hit for a year, then sales tanked by the time the 2000 models came out in fall 99.

There wasn't enough support for the car. Old timers hated it and young buyers moved on to other newer looking cars.

So what are they going to build at Auto Alliance aka Flat Rock Assembly? A friend (who co-op'ed there and whose dad used to be the Materials Manager there) told me that Ford was moving Mustang production there. Not sure how accurate that is, but wouldn't that be the end of River Rouge?
