With little choice but to continue with the Invicta, Buick watched its output drop to 45,411 units for 1960 and then tumble to 28,733 for 1961, when the series lost its four-door sedan and brace of wagons. Of course, this only reflected the abrupt drop in demand for all ponycars after 1970, and it prompted Mercury to chart a new course for Cougar. One of the last cars of this era with a distinctly Mercury character was the Cyclone, which bowed out after 1971. Offered that year with standard 351 and optional 429-cid V-8s, this muscular midsize was impressively fast. A three-speed transmission remained standard equipment, but a four-speed Wilson pre-selective gearbox could be ordered. Standard and XR-7 convertibles remained through the end of this generation in 1973, and have become minor collector's items, primarily by dint of low annual production: fewer than 2000 of each type, except for the 3165 XR-7s in '73. But have you heard the story about the ghost who was tricked by children, or Narrow Ribbed Deck the ghost who haunted a man’s house just because he was looking for a place where he could sit down? Corporate management was looking to extend the platform's reach into other divisions, increasing sales volume to offset the development costs of the unique rear-engined compact.

Customers rebelled, and Buick slid into fifth place with only about one-third its 1955 volume. Then in 1962, Buick brought out the first production Wildcat, a new factory hot rod designed to compete with the Oldsmobile Starfire and Pontiac Grand Prix. Another astute marketing move was the 1936 Century, often referred to as the original "factory hot rod" or "banker's hot rod." The formula, simple but effective, called for combining Buick's lightest bodies with its most powerful engine, then a 320.2-cubic-inch 120-horsepower straight eight. The name, of course, referred to the car's top speed, impressive in its day. Besides the three complete meals, there was also afternoon tea every day. A Day at Versailles: Read about two friends who relive the days of Marie Antoinette. These monikers, first used in the mid-1930s, would persist for more than two decades, and by the early 1950s were almost as well-known as the Buick name itself.

Meanwhile, back in Flint, Buick was honing its marketing strategy for the 1950s. Buick maintained three series at the time: Special, Super, Roadmaster. Meanwhile, Invicta reinstated the wagons, adding them to the existing convertible and two- and four-door hardtops. Meanwhile, the Century, a "banker's hot rod" model, was revived. The production 195-cid ohv "slant-four" block came a bit later. The idea was to test public reaction to new styling and engineering ideas and, hopefully, to add a bit of luster to GM's production cars. The result was a new American-made Capri for 1979. The direct descendent of the genuine Cougar ponycar, it was virtually identical with that year's new-generation Mustang save somewhat busier styling on the Ford's three-door hatch coupe body style, the only one available. The first result was the smaller 1934 Series 40, a rousing success that instantly became one of Buick's mainstays. A new Limited series was introduced for that recession year, too.

One of these was his 1953-1954 series of Dodge Firearrows. Check if you need a permit to use one first. You have doors all over your home, and even though they look innocent and simple, doors need occasional maintenance and repair. While in concept it's a good idea, in execution the car is woefully short of anything they have any right to promote as a serious enthusiasts' car." Another analyst dismissed the Marauder as "just a half-hearted attempt at nostalgia. Was Mom Right? Can you use newspaper to clean glass? For this job I used Paslode’s new Positive Placement Metal Connector Nailer, which is a pneumatic nailer with a special guide tip designed to shoot the nails right into the tiny holes of the Simpson hardware without the imprecise impact of a hammer. Things were temporarily sorted out again for 1980, when Cougar really was a Thunderbird, a twin to that year's new downsized model on a special 108.4-inch version of the "Fox" corporate platform.
