Many years I bought one with reverse out of it in mint and I mean mint condition for 75.00 dollars. I went to a local salvage yard and bought a transmission for 35.00 dollars. My brother and I replaced it and I drove it for eight years and traded it in on a 1968 Ford Fairlane that was 895.00 dollars. Oh the days, miss them.

They were in fact, intended to be part of the Edsel lineup but when Edsel disappeared, they were a stand alone "brand" until '62 when they were placed in the Mercury stable. The '60s and '61s, which are distinctive by those slanted rear lights, were not actually Mercury products though many were sold through their dealer networks.

that car was mine 16 years ago, I was the second owner and I had it for almost 4 years in Minnesota and I had the collectible plates 307-577 which was the plate number in Minnesota, it was an amazing car with a two-speed automatic. I have some pics too, I painted the engine bulb covers and it has had the same pain since then. AMAZING CAR. I miss it.

Our driver training car but a four door. 101 horsepower. It was totally gutless. Great driving teacher. I think of him whenever I parallel park. (Red 1960 Comet)

It's little remembered today, but the original Comet -- sold through Lincoln-Mercury dealerships as a standalone model for two model years -- was intended from the start to be an Edsel; this explained its upmarket body design and trimmings, compared to the Ford Falcon upon which it was based.

Just LUV that extra cool steering wheel convenience knob. My uncle had one on his 57-58 Pontiac Star Chief, with the translucent steering wheel! Go Uncle Frank! Chrome- plated too! Oh yeah!!;

They might look cool but they're dangerous as hell. Hit a rut or have a blow out on a front tire and that steering wheel whips out of your hands and your fingers will find out just how dangerous in a really big hurry.

The Comet took the taillights from the 1960 Edsel and slanted them.

“Canted” them actually 😊

Oddly had the head lights separated farther apart like the 1960 Mercury's. Most four headlight cars they were side by side, closer.

It is as originally intended to be an Edsel!

I wish I could buy this for my son’s first car! My brothers and I all learned on and than owned our grandfather’s 1960 Comet!!! I wish we kept it but as a teen girl in the 80’s, I was so embarrassed by the hand-me down! Lol😂

The 60 Comet technically wasn't a Mercury, it was intended to be an Edsel, but with the Edsel no more, it became simply Comet.

Hello from Southern Brazil, thanks for the videos, I have been watching almost all them for a long time now, they are all very good. About this car, it's obiously a Falcon with a little different design and I gess it's a Canadian car, isn't? This name, Comet, was used there. It musst be a very good car to drive, and durable as well, just like the Falcons here in our neughbor country Argentina, that were made for 30 Years, until 1992. The engine is amazing. Greetings, have a good day.

@jamesbosworth4191 6 ай бұрын

No, it was not exclusive to Canada. You are thinking of the 1960 Frontenac, a retrimmed Falcon sold only in Canada.
