The Mercury Cyclone is an automobile produced by the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company from 1964 to 1971. It started as a performance model of the 1964 Mercury Comet, and was named the Mercury Comet Cyclone through 1967. For 1968, the "Comet" part of the name was dropped. Options such as GT, Spoiler and Cobra Jet were added and removed. In 1971, it was integrated into the Mercury Montego line as their performance model.[1]History
1964
The Cyclone started as an option for the 1964 Mercury Comet. It featured a 289 cu in (4,736 cc), 210 hp (156.6 kW) engine and a sporty look. It had a spoked steering wheel and bucket seats. Some of the engine parts were chromed in the style of muscle cars.
1965
In the 1965 models, the engine was updated to the four-barrel carburetor version of the 289 cu in (4,736 cc) unit, but generated 200 hp (149.1 kW). The '65 had a few performance options, which include a handling package, a special fan, and a "Power Transfer" rear axle. Special features included a black out, stand-up grille, bucket seats with sew-through pleats, centre console, chrome-plate wheel covers with lug nuts, engine "Dress Up Kit", unique insignias, a vinyl roof in black or white and a Power-Pac gauge cluster for the heavily padded instrument panel.[2]
1966
1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT Hardtop
The 1966 models underwent a major styling change. The body received "sculpturing" that ran the length of the car, and was based on the body of the Ford Fairlane. The models introduced new engines. The 390 Y code was a 390 cu in (6,391 cc) engine with a two-barrel carburetor and 265 hp (198 kW). The 390 H code had a four-barrel carburetor and 275 hp (205 kW).
The GT option used a 390 S code engine which was a 390 cu in (6,391 cc) engine with a four-barrel carburetor and 335 hp (250 kW). The GT featured car stripes, a fiberglass hood (bonnet) with scoops[jargon] and several other performance options.
1967
The 1967 model was produced with several engine options. The standard engine was the 289 V8 with 289 cu in (4,736 cc) and 200 hp (149 kW). The GT's engine was 390 cu in (6,391 cc), but was quoted with 15 fewer horses at 320 hp (239 kW).
Neither the 1966 Cyclone nor the 1967 Cyclone used the 427 cu in (6,997 cc) side-oiler[jargon] engine that went into the standard Comet. Only badges[jargon] told of the 410 hp (306 kW) under the hood (bonnet).[clarification needed 410 hp for standard Comet or Cyclone?]
1968
The 1968 models dropped "Comet" from their name. The Cyclones had a mid tire level body tape stripe. The Cyclone GT's had an upper level body stripe, buckets, wide whitewall tires, special wheel covers, all vinyl interior, and the special handling package. It was named the fastest car of that year,[how?] because it set a world record speed of 189.22 mph (304.52 km/h) at Daytona.[clarification needed]
Several engines were available for the Cyclones:
The 302 cu in (4,949 cc) standard engine was available as either the two-barrel carburetor, which generated 210 hp (157 kW), or the four-barrel carburetor, which generated 230 hp (172 kW).
The 390 cu in (6,391 cc) optional engine (standard for GT) was available as either the two-barrel carburetor, which generated 265 hp (198 kW), or the four-barrel carburetor, which generated 325 hp (242 kW).
1969
In 1969, the Cyclones had several engine options:
The 302 cu in (4,949 cc) engine was available with 220 hp (164 kW).
The 351 cu in (5,752 cc) engine had two versions: one was 250 hp (186 kW) and the other was 290 hp (216 kW).
The 390 cu in (6,391 cc) engine for the GTs was available with 320 hp (239 kW).
Spoiler II
Main article: Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II
Mercury produced a version of the Cyclone for NASCAR called the Cyclone Spoiler II. The model was available in two flavors. The street version featured a 351 cu in (5,752 cc) Windsor block, and was used to enter into the NASCAR business. The racing version featured a 429 cu in (7,030 cc) Boss block, which was the same engine as the one in the 1969 Boss Mustang.
Cobra Jet
Mercury also added a new model to the Cyclone line: the Cobra Jet (CJ). The Cobra Jet's engine was a 428 cu in (7,014 cc) which generated 335 hp (250 kW). The engine had a Ram Air option, a 735 CFM Holley four-barrel carburetor,[citation needed] although the option showed no quoted difference in horsepower rating. The Mercury Cyclone CJ had the following enhancements over the Cyclone and Cyclone GT: it had a blacked-out grille; dual exhausts; 3:50:1 axle ratio; engine dress-up kit (chromed parts); hood (bonnet) stripes; and a competition handling package.
1970

The CJ model was dropped from the Cyclone lineup, and applied to some of the engine names in the series. Mercury thus featured the Cyclone, Cyclone Spoiler and Cyclone GT. The Cyclones consisted of 351 cid V8s and 429 cid V8 engines.
The standard engine for the base Cyclone was the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) four-barrel with dual exhaust that was rated at 360 hp (268 kW) SAE gross (250 hp (186 kW) net). It was the standard engine in the 1970 Mercury Marauder X-100 and was available in other full size models. It featured a 575 CFM carburetor.
Two optional engines were available for the Cyclone. The 429 Cobra Jet was the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) four-barrel with dual exhaust but with the Ram Air induction. It was rated at 370 hp (276 kW) SAE gross (305 hp (227 kW) net) and had a 700 CFM Rochester Quadrajet 4 BBL carburetor. The 429 Super Cobra Jet, which was part of a Drag Pack option, was a 429 cu in (7,030 cc) four-barrel with dual exhaust and Ram Air induction, but it was rated at 375 hp (280 kW) SAE gross (335 hp (250 kW) net), and had a 780 CFM Holley 4 BBL carburetor.
1970 Cyclone Spoiler
The Cyclone Spoiler was for the performance minded with front and rear spoilers, racing stripes that went from front to the rear of the car, hood (bonnet) scoop for ram air induction, racing mirrors and a competition package. The 429 Cobra Jet was the standard engine for the Cyclone Spoiler. An optional engine was the 429 Super Cobra Jet.
1970 Cyclone GT
This model featured a non-functional hood scoop, full length lower body side molding, remote and racing mirrors, high back bucket seats, door trim, and a three spoke rim blow steering wheel.
The standard engine for the 1970 Cyclone GT was the 351 cu in (5,752 cc) two-barrel with single exhaust that was rated at 250 hp (186 kW) SAE gross (175 hp (130 kW) net).
The optional engines for the Cyclone GT included the 351 cu in (5,752 cc) four-barrel with dual exhaust. It was rated at 300 hp (224 kW) SAE gross (260 hp (194 kW) net), and was available with or without Ram Air induction. The GT can also be outfitted with the other 429 engines.
While a convertible was offered for the Ford Torino in 1970 and 1971, no convertible was offered for the Mercury Montego and Mercury Cyclone in 1970 and 1971.
1971
In 1971, the Cyclone had lost its distinction as it was renamed the Mercury Montego Cyclone. The three variants (Cyclone, Cyclone GT, Cyclone Spoiler) were merged into the Montego line. It sold poorly; the production numbers for the Cyclone were in the triple figures. The Montego Cyclone GT, which used the 351 Cobra Jet engine, sold much better, but still sold less than its predecessors.
1972
For 1972, the Mercury Montego was fully redesigned, with body on frame construction, front and rear coil spring suspension and a new shorter 114" wheelbase for two-door models. The Cylcone was reverted to an performance option package available on Mercury Montego, Mercury Montego MX two doors and the Mercury Montego GT. The package included one of two engines, the 351 cu in (5,752 cc) four-barrel Cobra Jet engine rated at 248 hp (185 kW) SAE net or the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) 4-brarrel rated at 205 hp (153 kW) SAE net. The option group included a functional Ram Air induction through twin integrated hood scoops, Traction-Lok (limited slip) differential, F70-14 for 351 cu in (5,752 cc) cars, and G70-14 tires for 429 cu in (7,030 cc) powered cars, hub caps and trim rings, body striping and identification, three spoke steering wheel and dual racing mirrors. The 351 cu in (5,752 cc) was available with either a 4-speed manual transmission or a 3-speed automatic, while the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) was only sold with an automatic transmission. [3]
Early Mercury factory literature showed this option available, while later editions did not have any information on the Cylcone package. Only 30 1972 Cyclone package cars were produced, 29 Montego GT's and one Montego MX. Twenty of these Cylcones were equipped with the 429 cu in (7,030 cc) engine. [4]

The current incarnation of Grand Central Terminal was completed in 1913; it's the third station on this site and was built between 1903-13. The long construction period was a result of keeping services running throughout.
The station was designed by architects Reed & Stem (the overall structure), and Warren & Wetmore (the architectural detail and decoration).
The Music Concourse, nestled between the de Young Museum and the California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park, is a historic open-air plaza that has served as a cultural and social gathering space since its creation in the late 19th century. Designed as part of the 1894 Midwinter Exposition, this sunken, tree-lined concourse remains a beloved destination for visitors seeking art, music, and nature.
The concourse is marked by its rows of neatly pruned pollarded trees, creating a formal yet inviting atmosphere. These trees provide much-needed shade and complement the European-inspired design of the plaza. At the heart of the concourse stands a grand fountain, providing a tranquil backdrop to the bustling life of the park. Surrounding the concourse are numerous green benches, offering a perfect spot for contemplation, people-watching, or simply enjoying the ambiance.
Architecturally, the Music Concourse is anchored by the iconic Spreckels Temple of Music, a grand Beaux-Arts style bandstand that has hosted countless performances, from classical music concerts to community events. Donated by sugar magnate Claus Spreckels in 1899, the temple is an enduring symbol of San Francisco’s commitment to the arts.
The plaza’s central location, flanked by two of the city's most important cultural institutions, underscores its historical importance as a cultural hub in Golden Gate Park. Today, the Music Concourse continues to be a vibrant space, where locals and tourists alike can enjoy performances, art, and the beauty of this meticulously designed public space.

The new concourse at King's Cross had only been officially open less than two months when I visited. It reminded me of a spaceship.
While looking through some of last year's photos of London I realized that several images of King's Cross were actually taken as overlapping shots. I was finally able to process them and stitch the six shots together into this super-wide angle view. There are still a few stitch glitches in the ceiling, which I might fix if I'm feeling ambitious on a rainy day. If you don't look too closely the overall effect achieves what I had originally hoped to capture.

A Manhattan-bound C train using R68 stock (Westinghouse-Amrail, 1986-1988) is seen arriving at Fordham Rd Station on the IND Concourse Line. On this particular weekend, C trains replaced D trains in the Bronx due to track maintenance work in Manhattan, which, combined with C trains using equipment from the B and D, drew buffs from all corners of the city.
The Cadillac Type 53 was the first car to use the same control layout as modern automobiles- with the gear lever and hand brake in the middle of the front two seats, a key started ignition, and three pedals for the clutch, brake and throttle in the modern order. This Cadillac was driven by a 77 horse power V8 engine. The Type 53 remained in production for one year only, in 1916.
When this car debuted in 1916 it succeeded the Cadillac Type 51. The following year the Cadillac Type 55 replaced the Type 53.
Although this car did not gain great popularity, it created the modern layout of an automobile that is still used today. This layout became popular with the Austin 7, which copied the control layout from the Cadillac Type 53.

Interior main concourse of HarMar, this mall has had somewhat of a revival lately, with Tuesday Morning, Burlington, and a couple other shops moving in. While there are still some vacancies overall it's actually a pretty nice mall to shop at.

This place hasn't got any prettier since my last visit in 1992! I decided to try something a bit different today, starting in Wigan and working across to Southport on the half hourly Arriva 375/385. After 0943 came and went at Wigan, I decided to investigate the no show on my phone, thanks to the Arriva App. I found the buses were running in pairs, fair enough on a high frequency route but not ideal here. Anyway the first bus of the bash, 4576, finally arrived in Wigan 43 minutes late (!) due to heavy traffic (!) according to the driver. I was going to go to Ormskirk in one go originally however the next bus was only a couple of minutes behind so it was rude not to step back to get another one in. 10/11/15.
A subway concourse from 2019(?) that I procrastinated rendering for literal years because of how large the model was, and the difficulties of lighting its interior. Last month (April '22) I finally sucked it up and made several renders, deleting sections of the model to get some light in the interior, then imported the file into Mecabricks.com, and spent some money rendering the model with lights in their built-in-renderer. This above is one of those lit renders.
The concourse was inspired by the Soviet metro systems in Moscow and St. Petersburg. During Russia's imperial period the country's nobles lived in lavish palaces, while the commoners largely lived in tenements in the cities or cottages out in the countryside. When the 1917 Revolution happened and the various Imperial and noble palaces were seized by the Reds, the soldiers saw the interiors of what must've seemed like fairytale palaces to them, and were amazed and appalled that such luxury should be enjoyed by such a small number of people. When the first metro lines were being built in the 1920s in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the Soviets in power decided that the various stations would be decorated in palatial style, reasoning that Art belonged to the People, and everyone should be able to experience such luxurious architecture. Built between the 1920s and 1940s, each subway station is unique, and all of them are stunning to look at. I was inspired by these metro systems, and tried to create a concourse in that style. The subway stations mostly share a semicircular arch dome shape, so I modeled that, furthering an arched ceiling technique I'd come up with previously. The train station should only be a single story tall, and thus is egregiously oversized, but whatever.

As I've said before, I got a lot of flack from some of my family members about shooting a lot of signs and random things such as benches. lol. My response was always a simple and sincere, "My Flickr friends will understand!" :) I caught the Concourse To Tomorrowland sign during golden hour and couldn't resist getting a shot of it. The wide open close ultra wide angle proved to be quite effective on a number of occasions. Please let me know what you think and as always, Enjoy!
