The 1967 Cougar was Mercury's attempt to enter the Pony Car market
segment popularized by the April 1964 introduction of Ford's
Mustang. Introduced in the fall of 1966 for the 1967 model year,
the first-year 1967 Cougar exceeded all sales expectations with
150,893 units sold. It was selected as Motor Trend's 1967 Car of
the Year. Legendary Cougar Magazine is dedicated to the first three
generations of Mercury's luxury Pony Car. Each bi-monthly issue
includes features on the first-generation 1967-68 models, the
1969-70 models, the first to offer a convertible version, and the
final 1971-1973 models (after the 1973 model year the Cougar
nameplate moved from the Pony Car class to the luxury-personal
category). In addition to traditional, in-depth vehicle features,
the issue contains two tech stories. In issue 1 you'll find the a
tech story detailing the installation of an iPhone-capable radio in
an early Cougar and a second tech feature detailing for readers how
to photograph their Cougar for publication. Legendary Cougar
Magazine is the authoritative source for all things for the
original, classic 1967 to 1973 Cougar and is supported by more than
400 subscribers who helped launch the title with their support and
commitment.
The 2014 La Jolla Concours d'Elegance and its companion Motor Car
Classic attracted more than 200 cars. Automotive Traveler's Classic
Car's Editorial Director Richard Truesdell attended and complied
this photo album book. Held at Ellen Browning Scripps Park on the
shores of the Pacific Ocean, the event kicks off the 2014 concours
season on the West Coast, coming as it does a month after the
Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance. This year the winner of Best of
Show, pre-war, was the 1930 Bugatti Type 46 Faux Cabriolet owned by
Richard Adams. The winner of Best of Show, post-war, was the 1952
Cadillac Ghia owned by The Petersen Museum.
Now in its 20th year, the Rodeo Drive Concours d'Elegance has been
listed by Frommer's as "300 Unmissable Events in the World." On
what is often said to be the world's most fashionable avenue, the
theme for this year's show was the Jet Age. This was the period
immediately following the end of the Second World War characterized
by optimism, aerodynamic styling, flamboyant tail fins, wide white
walls, and massive amounts of chrome. This year's event also
celebrated two 50-year anniversaries, for the iconic Porsche 911
and the ground-breaking Learjet. Each was marked with special
displays, in the case of the Learjet, a full-scale mock up on Rodeo
Drive of the all-new model 85 business jet. The organizing
committee assembled an outstanding collection of cars from the
classics of the 1920s to contemporary supercars like the McLaren P1
with its 900-horsepower hybrid gas-electric drivetrain. Held every
Father's Day, the Rodeo Drive Concours d'Elegance is totally free
for spectators and is unique in all the world.
The 2014 Fabulous Fords Forever show brought together more than
1,700 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles. Automotive Traveler's
Classic Car's Editorial Director Richard Truesdell attended and
complied this photo album book highlighting the vehicles that the
Ford Car Club Council selected to be featured which included the
50th anniversary of the launch of the Mustang in 1964, the 55th
birthday of the Galaxie and the 75th birthday of Mercury. Held
annually at Knotts Berry Farm in Buena Park, California, the event
celebrated its own 29th birthday this year and is billed as the
largest Ford-only event on the West Coast. The book also displays
the the Johna Pepper award for the event's top car, a 1965 Ford
Mustang fastback owned by Neal Polan and the Bill Stroppe award for
the show's best truck, a 1967 Ford Bronco owned by Kiyoshi
Uchiyama.
Automotive Traveler's Classic Car is a new print-on-demand classic
car publication aimed at a world-wide audience. It is inspired by
the great UK motoring titles like Octane, Classic and Sports Car
and Thoroughbred and Classic Car as well as US titles like Motor
Trend Classic, Cars and Parts and Automobile Quarterly, all no
longer published. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car hopes to fill
that void. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car covers postwar cars
from 1945 to 1990. While the magazine will cover priceless
classics, it won't ignore more mainstream cars. This is our preview
issue and the cover feature is the 1979 Le Mans-winning Porsche 935
Kremer K3. Other features include three cars from the early
sixties, Chrysler's Ghia-bodied Turbine Car, a one-off, two-seat
Studebaker Avanti and an elegant six-cylinder Fiat Abarth 2300S
Ghia coupe. The final feature is classic American muscle, a 1969
Chevy Camaro Pace Car, but not the well-known Indy Pace Car, rather
one of seven Camaros built for pace car duties at NASCAR speedways
in the southeast. It is just one of the seven known to have
survived. The contributing columnists to Automotive Traveler's
Classic Car talk about their own classic car experiences, each in
their own engaging way. TV host Lance Lambert remembers his first
close encounter with Studebaker's Avanti as a 15-year-old who
pedaled to his local dealership more than 50 years ago. In his car
culture column, Contributing Editor Nick Guzan talks about the
legendary Aston Martin DB5 made famous 50 years ago in Goldfinger.
And the issue concludes with Joe Babizsz telling the story of the
Swiss origins of Chevrolet, the most American of automotive brands.
Unlike traditional print magazines, Automotive Traveler's Classic
Car, is interactive. Embedded in almost every feature is a QR code
allowing you to call up videos and slide shows on your smartphone
while you're reading the magazine. Automotive Traveler's Classic
Car spans the print-digital divide bringing you the best of both
worlds. Automotive Traveler's Classic Car is produced for car
enthusiasts, by car enthusiasts, giving you a unique reading
experience that will fuel your automotive passions. Editorial
Director Richard Truesdell invites everyone with comments and
suggestions on the preview issue of Automotive Traveler's Classic
Car to contact him directly at [email protected].
