1978 Mercury Cougar XR7 review from North America
"A cruising machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The vinyl on the exterior has started to crack.
Some surface rust.
General comments?
I love this car!
Excellent for highways, very comfortable.
I bought it off a little old man who had babied it since he bought it brand new.
Factory installed CB radio!
It even has full time posi-trac.
