1968 Mercury Cougar
I took my driver's test in this car when I was 16 years old, I'm now 57.
My Mom bought this car new and gave it to me 2 1/2 years ago.

Girl friend of my future wife(at that time) had a pretty green 69 Cougar.Wish I had kept some of my old cars that I went through in my youth.

the odometer goes to 99,999
It reads 36,395
Since it was my Mom's daily driver until 5 years ago I would guess the odometer has rolled over at least once, maybe twice.
The engine was rebuilt in the summer of 2013, the transmission was rebuilt the year before that.
I had it reupholstered in 1979 - original colors and style.
It was repainted in 1995 - needs a new paint job now due to spider web cracks in paint.
