The Mercury Comet was my first car in 1969! It had been my grandparent’s and I loved it. I think in ’69 in Phoenix I still had the bubble hair-do as well. Thanks for the memories.

The 1960 Comet was supposed to be a small Edsel. In fact on my 61 S-22 the keys are Edsel Keys that were reworked to look like a C instead of an E. When Edsel was K-O’d in 1960 Comet was sold through Mercury dealers and was not officially a Mercury until 1962. Even the part numbers were Edsel part numbers until 62.

Hey Clark whatdaya mean STUDEBAKERS’ OTHER car?

This is a MERCURY COMET not a Studebaker Lark! Another “Bird” car for ya besides the Studebaker Lark and Hawk like the Thunderbird, Falcon and Firebird!

I think I spy another little Comet in the garage – this one a ’63 Sport Coupe, by the look of the redesigned tail panel.

Adding to the list of bird names, don’t forget Studebaker’s other flier – the Hawk!
