Mercury’s Comet was a corporate cousin to the Ford Falcon. This one shares its roofline with the Ford Falcon Sprint and Futura models of 1964-65.
There’s a bumper sticker on this one proclaiming support for comedian Pat Paulsen for President of the US. Paulsen, who had a recurring role in the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour television series was known for his deadpan comedic commentaries on issues of the day. The popularity of his feature on that show led to the mock campaign in the 1968 Presidential Election season.
