Classic Cars You've Probably Forgotten About

9. Mercury Comet Cyclone

In 1964, fifty Mercury Comet cars were prepared for racing A/FX (factory experimental class, A engine size) combining ultra-high performance with their lightweight and achieving great success. This square compact car was available to the public with either a V-6 or V-8. It was restyled to Mercury standards when it joined the line in 1962 and then began getting specialized touches such as six bullet-shaped tail lights on the sport model which preceded the Cyclone, then a fastback roof to hint at the car's performance abilities.
