1965 Mercury Comet Navigation
The Mercury Comet Caliente was the most luxurious vehicle in the Comet line-up for 1965. It featured special equipment, including carpeting, padded dash and courtesy light, plus the convertible (like this example) had a power top.
The Caliente was also recognized by a special horizontal chrome bar taillight treatment that blended into the rear deck panel.
This Caliente is equipped with the optional Cyclone V-8 engine, which displaced 289 cubic-inches and developed 200 horsepower. It received a complete 'rotisserie restoration' that was done by the owner and completed in August of 2009. Only 6,035 Caliente convertibles were built in 1965.
