The person in the photo doesn’t look like Fran Hernandez to me. Fran was older and wearing glasses when he was running Kar kraft in 69. Fran is on the right by the Boss429. Painting cars I don’t think was one of Fran specialties as he had a machining back ground. I don’t think he would be painting a special one off Cougar. The front fender extensions are off and laying on top of the roof for paint.
Henry Ford II had at least one 1969 Cougar, formerly owned by Dick Hertzler. HFII had all his cars painted “Pomegranate Metallic” a sort of bright metallic red color. If this car was done for him it would have been that color.
Pomegrante Metallic the same color as the Thirst Eliminator?
