Mercury, a division of the Ford motor company, produced the Mercury Comet from 1960 until 1967. The first Comet design had the Ford falcon platform as its basis, which was also launched in the year 1960. The two vehicles had similar chassis, suspension, and engine parts. However, the Comet possessed its own exclusive exterior enhancements, interior trim, and body lines. The structure modified by Ford in 1935 was applied on both the Falcon and the Comet.
The Comet was a distinctive vehicle, moderately bigger than the Falcon with its own individuality witnessed by a lot of modifications through time. As depicted by Ford, the Comet offered “big car ride, with small car handling.” The Comet had more size and a much leveled and comfy ride as compared to the Falcon. The 1960 Comet had a 144 cubic inch 6-cylinder engine featuring a 2-speed manual transmission. Both the 2-door and the 4-door sedans which also include the station wagon were on hand during its opening year. From the years 1960 to 1963, the Comets all shared a straightforward shape. They are tagged as the “round body” Comets. In 1962, the Comet was formally declared as a Mercury model, in which it was given some slight re-designing of the taillight areas to bring the vehicle more in order with the Mercury style.
In the year 1964, Ford manufactured roughly 50 high-performance and lightweight Comet Cyclones, which comes with the racing 20-carburetor 2427 engine, which is identical to the Ford Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolts operated in Super Stock 7 on 7 inch tires, while the Cyclones had theirs in A/FX on 10 inch tires, wherein this assembly was as forceful as the Super Stock in Ford Thunderbolts. For the year 1965, the Comet was given updated styling for the changing times. The 6-cylinder engine was amplified from 170ci to 200ci. The 8-cylinder engine was boosted from 20ci to 289ci. Both of the engines are equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission. They also come with the non-compulsory Merc-o-matic 3-speed automatic transmission.
