These days we think of Sports Specials as 1969 Cougars with a particular option package, but when Lincoln-Mercury Division introduced the term in '69, it actually referred to a series of unique option groups, ranging from a simple appearance package to the Eliminator. Since most of us are familiar with the Eliminator, this article will focus on the other Sport Specials . . . the Cats nobody knows.
Lincoln-Mercury is known for doing some strange things from a marketing point of view. A case in point were the Dan Gurney Specials in '67 and '68. These consisted mainly of a window decal, "turbo" wheel covers, and a chrome dress up kit for the engine. More of them were "made" at dealerships than at the factory and, while Dan Gurney Specials are interesting, most experts assign no monetary significance to the resale value.
In 1969 L-M was at it again, this time offering a series of "Sports Specials" which allowed buyers to upgrade their Cougars with four model/equipment combinations. Perhaps the best known feature of the Sports Specials are their unique curb moldings. However, a Cougar with Sports Special curb moldings is not necessarily a Sports Special Cougar. These moldings were also sold at dealerships as an add on.
Sports Specials started out as standard or bench hardtops with a basic appearance package that included Turbine wheel covers, E78 X 14 WSW tires, a mid-body paint stripe in black, red or white (in place of dual upper body tape stripes), distinctive curb moldings (with bright die-cast simulated scoops and bright and black ribs extending to the rear wheel opening), and a remote control left-side mirror.

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
NHTSA and Ford investigating steering issues in Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Marauder
Fri, 11 Jul 2014There may be more steering woes for the Ford Crown Victoria. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened a preliminary evaluation into the Crown Vic and Mercury Grand Marquis from the 2004 to 2007 model years and the Mercury Marauder for the 2004 and 2005 model years because the steering shaft can jam. The issue could potentially affect an estimated 500,000 vehicles.
According to the regulator, there is a possibility that the driver's side heat shield for the exhaust manifold can rust, dislodge, and then wedge into the steering shaft. If this occurs, it leads to a situation where the driver can no longer control the car.
NHTSA has received five complaints of this happening, including one alleged case with an injury. In that situation, the car was driving onto the highway, lost control and rolled over. One occupant was hurt in the accident.
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
