1970 Cougar on the Prowl

As we all know, a cougar (Puma concolor couguar) is a carnivorous four-legged mammal found throughout the North American continent.

During the late 1960s and early 1970s, however, thanks to the Lincoln-Mercury Division of the Ford Motor Company, the Cougar personal luxury car became synonymous with a very different kind of creature: A middle-aged American male on the prowl to find nubile young females for sexual conquest.
