I have spotted this NOS part for sale on eBay, and thought it might be of interest to another Cougar Community member. I’m not the seller, but I’ve bought from this guy before, and he’s a good person to deal with - honest, reputable and knowledgeable.
The part is listed as : NOS 1971 1972 Mercury Cougar Headlight lamp grille bezel grill trim surround OEM
It appears to be of typical New Old Stock Ford Service part chrome quality.
