Mercury Comet 202 for 1965
Although this 1965 model shared much with the 1964 Comet, one of the more obvious differences was the style of the front end. The 1964 model had quad headlights arranged horizontally, two on each end of the grille. The 1965 model above showed them stacked one over another. That was similar to the headlight arrangements for the 1965-67 full size Fords but ironically not the other Mercurys!
The ‘202’ designation was the most basic version of the Comet for this model year. There were also the mid-line ‘404’ and the premium ‘Caliente’ models of the Comet. Then there was the ‘Cyclone’ version that was offered with a 2-door hardtop body and V-8 engine standard.
