FAB WHEELS DIGEST (F.W.D.): 1963 Shelby Cougar II Coupe Concept

Ford's styling department built two concept cars on Cobra CSX chassis in the mid-1960s.
Both were designed by the head of Ford Styling at that time, Eugene Bordinat.
One was a roadster which came to be called the 'Bordinat Cobra.'
The other one, a coupe, was called the 'Cougar II.'
Despite the nominal publicity, not much was known about either car
beyond the fact that they were concept cars, never intended for actual production.
The cars disappeared for several years. After a number of internet
searches over a period of years, both cars were found in a warehouse in Detroit.
Both cars were basically intact and now belong to the Detroit Historical Society.
