The first year 1960 Mercury Comet was a mild success with sales of 116,331 units compared to 435,676 Falcons sold in the same year. The Comet had more size and a much smoother more comfortable ride than the Falcon. The 1960 offered a 144 cubic inch six cylinder engine with a two speed manual transmission. Both two door and 4 door sedans including station wagons were available in the opening year. Note: If the Edsel had gained in popularity it would of been the "Edsel Comet" rather than the "Mercury Comet".
