Attractive reproduction of a very popular, over the counter Mercury dress-up accessory. The only Cougars that came from the factory with this real wood shifter were the 1970 Eliminator and 1968 XR7-G. The XR7-G used a gold Cougar "Walking Cat" emblem and the 1970 Eliminator used the silver emblem. Of course this will look great on any 1967 - 1973 Cougar. If you look close and compare to the pictures of our NOS handle you will notice differences, most notable is that the chrome divider in the center is raised and the original looks flat.
