In This Issue
Features
- In Tribute to Jim – Two years ago Rich Truesdell met Jim and Charla Baubel and photographed Jim’s 1967 Cougar hardtop. In 2015, Jim passed and LCM gives Charla the opportunity to tell the classic Cougar community why Jim considered the Lime Frost Cougar one of his children.
- Full Circle – In keeping with this issue’s standard model theme, Bill Basore connected with Rob May who owns a very uniquely-equipped 1969 Cougar hardtop. It’s one that lacks factory air conditioning but does have the ultra-rare Comfort Stream power ventilation option.
- Keeping Your Cool – One of the issues facing many early Cougar owners are cooling system problems. Bill Basore identifies many problems along with solutions that will improve your Cougar’s driveability.
- Rocky Mountain High – Forty-five years ago Mark Giskaas walked into Don Rebal Lincoln-Mercury and purchased a 1971 Cougar convertible. Its history tells us that before it made its way to Great Falls, Montana, it was part of the Western Region lease pool. Rich Truesdell tells its unique story.
- Cougar People: Kevin Marti – His name is familiar to almost everyone in the classic Cougar community, but how did Kevin Marti come to acquire all those Ford production records? Bill Basore sits down with Kevin to learn the story behind all those tens of thousands of Marti Reports.
