Looks like the one my dad bought new. Here is a picture of him holding me in front of it in the Summer of 69.

It looks identical to my first Cyclone, too, except mine had American mags.

Pop has good taste 👍
The chrome hubcaps were missing from mine when I bought it. Picked up the Cougar GT wheels from a friend shortly after to doll her up. IIRC, they were 14" X 6". I think I was running G-60s on the rear but not completely sure, been a long time ago.

Deja vu to see another identical to her.
If I had the opportunity, I would buy this car but I'm perfectly happy with my '63. It's all good stuff. :wink:

That's a really nice Cyclone, love the color. Don't think I have ever seen a Comet that color.

Do you have the same color in the graphic on the side of your Cyclone??

It is ocean turquoise. Probably the color looks a little off in this very old picture. Yes a bit of that on the side graphic.

That is definately a beautiful car. Way nicer than my FE 65 of the the same color.
