Day 7 -
June 15, 2007

Today I received a Lincoln-Mercury 1973 Built Better to Ride Better original showroom brochure in the mail which contains a few pages about the 1973 Cougar XR-7, which is the model I am in the process of building.

It doesn't provide enough photographs and drawings (of vehicles and more) to allow me to detail the model sufficiently. There is one drawing of the dashboard and steering wheel. I will have to rely on the photographs I found online to finish the model.

I have also come across Web sites about the 1973 Mercury Cougar online and on an online auction Web site which contain photographs.

What color will I paint the model?
