Welp here is the hotrod mag cougar


and my Photshopped version


and mine for laughs


Now that i have the Hotrod one fleshed out I'm gonna try an eliminator version

 

I like 'em both, though, the Hot Rod version doesn't look as much like a Stang in disguise, im(very)ho...

waiting for the eliminator B)

 

Dude that's really nice work. I love the look

 

Comparing the two....

I would pick the ELIMINATOR, but both of your chops are incredible!

Far Out Man, (to drop back a few decades)!

 

I give you the Hot Rod mag inspired Eliminator

 

Oh, the Eliminator.

 

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

 

i really really like your eliminator, the sloped forward front end looks so much better, but yeah it does look a lot less like a disguised mustang in their version, even though its a lot uglier in my opinion.
the cougar originally was a gussed up mustang anyways, so i'd take your version.

 

hehe thanx guys...
Sallad...I think mine is better in the agressive dept. the HotRod car seems a tad tame. I never looked at the old ones as tame. I always thought they were mean looking.

Thanx!

 

Whoa! Awesome job BM, all of them look amazing!

 

I like your v10 xr7. Teh hot rod one strikes me as a little old fogey.

Of course I think the messenger was the best so far.

 

BM -

I knew it would not take long, for a "new" Cougar rendition, once the Hot Rod rendering was released.



Love the Eliminator!! A "new" Cougar Eliminator is about the only car I would think about selling the Mach for!

Again, great as always!!

 

thanx guys!
I added a little bit of brushed aluminum to the door handle and b-pillar to help even out all that chrome and brushed aluminum on the front.

I kinda picture the common XR7 having chrome accents and grill and the Eliminators as being brushed aluminum.

 

to be a bit more realistic, how about some exposed headlights, but blending in with the grill smoothly. just squared off in either corner of it, kinda like the lincoln zephyr concept, but smaller

 

Now, that I like !!!!!!!!!!

 

Like everything but the grille, that just looks bad to me. Maybe it would grow on me, or if they built it and I saw it in person it'd be better.

 

BM,

I knew it was only a matter of time before we saw evidence of the Cougar elsewhere.

I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw it in Hot Rod last week. Ahhhh, dreams. I was going to post those pics (Cobra and Cougar) when I got back in town Sunday, but I had no internet connection, and well, I see I'm too late.

I love what you have done with it. Except the front end is slanted too much in my opinion. I think it makes it look more Lincolnesque than Cougariffic.

Amazing work as usual!

 

hey doug,
your original cougar eliminator kicks the taters out of hot rod's cougor. i love the front forward look. i especially love the upward curve right on top of the eliminator emblem WOW. whyt dont they make affordable cars with curves like that anymore

 

Take a look at the old 67-70 Cougars...They were NOT aggressive cars. THey were more luxury oriented..not really luxury, but definatly not muscle car. They seemed really refined. I think the Hotrod drawing gives PERFECT justice to the Cougar name. Honestly they coudlnt' have done it better. Also, it is totally modern. If you want to bring the Cougar back you don't want it to be another "retro" because people will complain. YOu want it to be the more luxury oriented car...Hotrod literally took the words out of my mouth. A few months ago, I was saying how the Cougar should be built...

I said, it should be a bit longer, and should have the 4.6 as the BASE engine. I then said the eliminator should be available with about a 375HP engine. Almost identical to hotrod.


THis is how it should be done!!!

 

Well, I still like the photochop that someone here did combining the 05 Stang and the AU Falcon as a theoretical Cougar:
