Mercury Cyclone Socks
Description: The Mercury Comet Cyclone is an automobile that was introduced in 1964 as a replacement for the S-22 as the high-performance version of the Comet line and was in production through 1971. The 1968 models dropped "Comet" from their name, though many continued to refer to the model as the 'Comet' or 'Comet Cyclone.' The Cyclone GT's had an upper level body stripe, bucket seats, wide whitewall tires, special wheel covers, an all vinyl interior, and a special handling package. The GT's 390ci made 325hp, though a 428ci option was made available mid-year that made 335hp. The 1968 Cyclone was set a speed record of 189.22 mph at Daytona, making it the fasted production car of the year.
Description: Blazing with retro horsepower and hot rod attitude, this artwork celebrates the 1968 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT in full cartoonish glory. With oversized wheels, roaring engine stacks, and flames bursting from the exhaust, the car launches off the pavement like a rocket. The exaggerated design, complete with a flaming comet star and burnout smoke, channels classic 60s dragstrip art and Rat Fink energy. A pure adrenaline tribute to the golden age of American muscle.
