I found another one of those 1960s-era Mercury Cougar statues at a dealership called DARCARS. The salesman that I talked with out in the lot confirmed that DARCARS had once been a Lincoln-Mercury dealership. He also told me that until a few years ago, the big cat had been on the roof of the building and was something of a local landmark.
