This product is an NOS Part.
NOS items are OEM parts from Ford that have been sitting on shelves or in warehouses for years. These are often great examples of the orignal parts, but they may have scratches or other shelf wear.
However be aware that some NOS parts are "service replacement" parts. "Service replacement" parts are not exact replacements of the parts that were installed at the factory, but are what Ford considered as "good enough" and were used at Ford dealerships after the original supply of parts was exhausted.
We often leave NOS product listings on our website after they sell for reference purposes.
NOS Car Life Magazine Volume 13, No. 9 from October 1966. Kept in a plastic sleeve for it's entire life, this issue is in immaculate condition. The front cover is graced by a beautiful red 1967 Cougar and the article on page 38 titled "A Cat Called Cougar" dives deep into the secret plan of the Lincoln-Mercury personnel to unleash the Mercury Cougar on the automotive world. It also details specs such as 15% better ride over the Mustang and it's "radical innovations" that were meant to entice prospective buyers. The leaflets for subscriptions are also still intact!
