While the show must go on, Ford released the 1960 Comet as a seperate model to be sold by Lincoln-Mercury dealers. For 1962, the Comet was integrated to the Mercury line. The cars were badged with a lettering Mercury on the hood and another one on the deck lid. The Comet model was included in all the mercury company advertising. So, 1960 and 1961 are "just" Comet's, but from 1962, they are Mercury Comet.
