Up for grabs is something special for the serious collector of everything Cougar. This is an official press release document with attached 8x10 glossy photo of the prototype for the XR7 GTE . These were prepared by the Lincoln Mercury Public Relations Department for immediate release to newspapers in order to spread the word about new and exciting announcements. This particular release features a glossy black and white photo of the new XR7 GTE 427 prototype with fiberglass hood, grille mouldings, leather seats and full European touring instrumentation. Notice this was just a prototype because it doesn't have the 68 side markers and also shows a double hood scoop.
Date stamped Jul 20 1967 on the bottom back corner.
We hesitate to call these NOS for the simple fact that photos and paperwork can't be classified as NOS, and once they're read, they technically become used. But make no mistake, these are original, near perfect condition documents from the Lincoln-Ford Division.
