Vintage 4-Door: 1960 Mercury Comet
The Mercury Comet was an up market version of Ford’s compact Falcon sedan but rode on a slightly longer wheelbase and had a nicer interior. The Comet was initially launched to be part of Ford’s Edsel lineup, but with the failure of the Edsel marque, the Comet was sent to the Mercury dealer with only Comet badging, and you’ll have to tell people that it is a Mercury.

Seller’s Description
1960 mercury comet. First year of the comet line. Car is in good shape. Runs drives fine. Has a new radiator last year and converted from a generator to alternator. Has the original engine in it and I have a spare that can go with it. Possible trades for other antique cars. Cash is king though.

Isn’t this worth, like, $400,000 in the current used car market? I am confused as to how things work now.
If memory serves me these are made 50% of common Falcon / Mustang parts and 50% bespoke unobtanium. This one looks amazingly complete.
The front is pretty anonymous but the back is pretty much still an Edsel. And that dashboard cluster is definitely Edsel.
So ovular as Anthony Perkins won’t say.
I wish he or she would move his or her finger. How am I supposed to see the license plate so I can track down the address and steal this 4 door , six banger stripper?
Either didn’t know or have forgotten the Edsel origins, though it’s pretty obvious when viewing from the rear. Interesting…
