They made wagons, too. They were essentially Fairmount/Zephyrs with Cougar badging. I brazed a new floor for a guy into an '82 Cougar wagon about twelve years ago...

'81-82 non-XR-7 Cougars were on the Fairmont/Zephyr platform and were offered in 4-door and wagon models. Basically tarted-up F/Z's
The XR-7's were on the longer wb platform with the 80-82 Tbirds.

That is a pretty looking Cougar. It would look good next to my Mom's old 1982 XR-7 Fox Box:

It was just a fancied up (thinly disguised even when new fairmont/zephyr). Just Ford using the Fox platform everywhere it could in the early 80's. I drove one 82-85 (company car). I had the 3.3 and it was sloooooooooooooow.

That car is what turned me on to Cougars. I would gladly give up my 93 for that 82. Well, almost gladly. I shure as hell would give up my Explorer for that 82. The two door one, that is.
