Mercury Comet

The Mercury Comet is an automobile produced by the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company from 1960–1969 and 1971-1977 — variously as either a compact or an intermediate car.

The Comet was based on the compact Ford Falcon and later the Ford Maverick. As a Mercury, early Comets received better grade interior trim than concurrent Falcons, and a slightly longer wheelbase.

Famous quotes containing the words mercury and/or comet:

    The mercury sank in the mouth of the dying day.
    What instruments we have agree
    The day of his death was a dark cold day.
    —W.H. (Wystan Hugh)

    Ah, like a comet through flame she moves entranced
    Wrapt in her music no bird song, no, nor bough
    Breaking with honey buds, shall ever equal.
    Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
