This is the Ford Cougar 406 Concept. It's got pop-up headlights, a fuel-injected 6.7 liter V8, and gullwing doors. Too bad America wasn't cool enough for Ford to sell it.

Nice. Not as nice as Mercedes 300SL, but still very nice.

It was fun to see that concept. My first thought after reading the article was, fuel injection ? I had no idea Ford was playing with fuel injection back then.

I have never been a fan of the pontoon fenders, but still a cool car. Ford should do something like that for Lincoln - just something to grab attention.
