The sporty 1963 Mercury Comet |
1963 Mercury Comet
The biggest changes for the 1963 Mercury Comet included the new chrome that ran from the top of the front fender all the way down to the back of the rear fender and then down and back around to the front again. The taillight protruded from the rear deck panel and the grill featured four vertical headlights. This was the last year for the sporty Custom and S-22 series options. The Custom series included horizontal bars on the front and rear fenders, side window trim, deluxe upholstery, a white steering wheel with a bright horn ring, rear seat armrest, a cigarette lighter and a front door dome light switch. The S-22 pretty much had the same as the Custom with the exception of six taillights that made it easy to identify (Instead of four taillights).1963 Mercury Comet Production Numbers
