November 2018 Ride of the Month Nominations are now open!

Cougar Community Ride of the Month
1

Please make an effort to let the nominees know they have been nominated and make sure they are interested in participating. If they are not interested PLEASE DO NOT NOMINATE THEM.

Thanks!

This thread is where you will put nominations for the
November 2018 Ride of the Month!
All you need to do is to identify the car and the owner. A picture of the car would be helpful if you can locate one.

As a reminder, here is how it works:

You can nominate any Cougar, even your own. All nominations must be seconded.

We will nominate cars until the 25th of the month, then vote from the 26th to the 1st of the following month, and announce the winner.

A new thread honoring the winner will go up just as quickly afterwards as possible. Then we start all over again.

The winning car will be pictured at the top of the Forums header for the month.

I’ll second Todd’s nice convertible.

Oh, great, somebody let in another Todd?? (figured I’d beat all the other funny guys to the punch).

Nice ride, and I hereby dub thee T4…

T3

You can’t do that with the other two M.I.A. You might just as well inherit the T1 moniker by default and let the new guy be T2 or Tnewguy.

:laughing: I’ve been called worse.

I nominate Ray and Melissa Shereda’s 1968 Standard.

I’ll 2nd Ray & Melissa’s '68 Standard.

Ray and Melissa’s standard already won in July of 2017.

10

Running out of rides?

11

That is correct but the car I nominated is their “new” Cougar that was unveiled just this past Spring. :wink:

12

I’ve been nominated twice but never won. If we are short I’ll throw my name in.

13

I’ll second the SuperCJcat! Such a cool car!

14

I thought it was the original. Will you please check and see if they are interested? I don’t think they have been on here in a very long time.

15

Yes this is our replacement Cougar. A 1968 Dan Gurney Standard. 1st revealed in July 2018. And you are correct in a sense, we do get on here all the time, but I cannot say when the last time any comments were made anywhere. Usually just looking and reading without logging in.

This is my first time posting.
This has been my labor of love for the past 2 years.
It is in very good shape, Mileage says 39,000 but cant be confirmed but matches the shape the car is in.
Thanks,
Steve
