1968 Calypso Coupe

During the second year of production, some Mercury Cougar dealers came up with special editions of the 1968 Mercury Cougar. A group of these dealers were in Kansas City and in the Dallas / Forth Worth area in Texas and they came up with something called the 1968 Calypso Coupe.

This unique Mercury Cougar had a black vinyl roof. On both C-pillars, on the outside of the car, a chrome badge in a nice script fint spelling out “Calypso Coupe” was added. The car was painted in Calypso Coral, which is Body Color Code 3 and Paint Code 60449.
