Mercury Cyclone

The Cyclone was a performance oriented Mercury marketed from 1964 to 1971. It was introduced in 1964 as the Comet Cyclone, replacing the S-22, became a distinct nameplate for 1968 as the Montego phased in for the Comet, and returned in 1972 only as a package for the Montego with 30 produced. It was positioned between the Cougar and the full size two doors, and represented Mercury in racing as a counterpart of the Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt.
