is the maverick more popular than the comet?

So do I. I especially like the rear tail lights better and I have no issues with the more pointed front end. I was lucky enough to find one it real gud shape. The guy I bought it from had two cars for sale at the car corral - a Mav. and Comet. Cud have bought either one. Both in gud shape. I just like the Comet better.

 

I've always liked Comets!!

As parts cars!!!!!

 

i like the comet rear end, but like i said i hate the big bumpers.

 

Demographics were different. Mercury was after a different market and Ford was the volume seller. First Comets were Falcon based (1960-65) and were to be an EDSEL. Then Fairlaine (67-69), None in 1970, the 1971-1977 based on the Maverick.

Here is the history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury_Comet

 

Comets are mavericks, just ask anyone with a comet. "Hey nice maverick" " ITS A COMET!!!!! but thanks"

 

see most people see my maverick and say: "whats a maverick?" i go

 

I have one of each, Both 72 and Both Grabber Blue and I love the looks and style of them both, but I have to say if you put them nose to tail the Comet is just a better looking car.

 

Maverick? i ment nova

oh god here we go:16suspect

 

Fords have always been more popular than their Mercury counterparts except for maybe 2 exceptions- the '49 Merc is at least as popular as the '49 Ford, and the '65 Comet is MUCH more popular (and attractive) than the '65 Fairlane.

 

Personally I don't see much difference aside for the pointed hood and the -sorry- ugly tail lights. By the numbers if comets are more uncommon why aren't they more valuable or are they?

 

the tail lights are my favorite thing about the mav styled comets

 

Personally to me a standard maverick is worth the same as a standard comet. In 25 years from now when all our cars become even more rare, I think the Comet GT's are going to hold their value the best as they only made around 12,000 a year for a few years.

 

would that be the same for grabbers also?

 

They made a lot more Grabbers, and to this day Grabbers are way easier to find then a real Comet GT.

 

And because comets came long before mavericks they probably will have more hype. Oh well, I still like mavs a lot more.

AND... There's still the SHELBY MAVERICK which of course would be more valuable than any comet gt or grabber LOL
