Original Cougar billboard

Nice find! How about those Chebbies in the background?

I see a Corvette.

I googled that dealer and it was in Phoenix, Az.

Downtown Phoenix, Herb Stevens Lincoln - Mercury building. 901 N. Central Ave

Ok, that is cool :slight_smile:

That is one cool billboard…maybe the Cat is looking over the chevy prey

Nice find indeed! Very cool.

I wish I could buy a brand new Cougar for $2,555!

That is one big ass Cougar billboard sign.

Thanks for sharing.

Would love to have a poster size version of that.

But wait, there’s more!

Anyone recognize the car sitting under the billboard? I didn’t, but when I posted this pic on the WCCC facebook page, a few people recognized it and freaked out.

Now check this out, the next year they reused the same billboard, but the price went up by $111. What the? I thought that the base model in '68 was cheaper than '67. :think:

Sweet billboards though. We need one of those across the road from the shop.

Isn’t that a concept car?

Or on the roof of the shop! Then folks could see it from the highway maybe?

It’s a Facel Vega, which is something I had never heard of previously…

Oooo even better! But then we’d get inundated with people wanting to buy a car, haha

Man I’d have to offer $1.00 more than that price. Just too many 6’s for my liking. :devil:

Herb recycled back in the 60’s!
Here is a 1968 version of the above billboard, at a different location. Higher price, but same ad.

Note the ass down profile of the Cougar… unless that is the result of a Cat in the tank…
