1964 Mercury Comet Super Cyclone

1964 & 1965 Mercury Comet Super Cyclone
 
What if you are dissatisfied with the 1964 Comet Caliente and wanted to build a sleek fastback coupe? One real-world design was this car built at Dearborn Steel Tubing for the Lincoln-Mercury Caravan of Stars. You'd need to present a well-reasoned document explaining why your design appears as it does, and how it might be realistically used.

Mercury exhibited its one-of-a-kind Comet Super Cyclone at the 1964 Chicago show. The sleek fastback roof was custom and included a large wrap around back window, like the 1964-65 Plymouth Barracuda. Stylish European-style headlights were rectangular in shape, but illegal on U.S. highways at the time.
