Ford Printed Material Reply #39 – August 23, 2007, 09:18:54 AM OK, I'll play. Here are some uncommon items. In particular, the upper right brochure, a study in Ford design around 1986-ish. Some really wicked stuff in there that I've never before seen in public. Also note the 1983 Cougar Announcement and Merchandising Materials...inside the lit that is pictured was nothing like the real stuff. Obviously this was made in 1982 sometime and those designs were "carried over" for their proposed 1983 lit. Pretty sad, actually. On the bottom right is the 1983 L-M press releases, with a special fold-up cutout Cougar folio cover.These are Cougar convertible brochures (front and back): Quote Selected

Ford Printed Material Reply #43 – August 23, 2007, 09:27:53 AM Finally...the oddities:On top is a rare 1986 FORD Cougar brochure from Mexico (remember, no Mercury division south of the U.S. border). Please note the unique rims on this car. I've never, ever seen those before.On the bottom is a Cougar "Value Leader" brochure that inexplicably wanted the customer to think this was more of a commuter car than a luxury/sport coupe.There's lots more...I didn't have time to photograph like, everything but this is a good start.I've got even more stuff for the MN12's.
