Originally, the Comet should have been an Edsel model, but this brand founded by Ford in 1958 was such a flop that the group decided to launch this model as a Mercury, after a two-year period, in 1960 and 1961, when it was sold without any badge. This Comet is a third generation, released in 1966. This sporty-looking hardtop coupe version is called Cyclone.
