Have you tried wikipedia? Doesn’t go by model year but by body style changes. Also lists known oddball versions. ---

Ford or Mazda will have an equivelant model that you can get base information from. I don’t know what the current equivelant is for the Cougar, but there is one because Mercury isn’t a manufacturer of a car - it is a component of either Ford and, or Mazda. It used to be and is occasionally equivelant to the Ford Mustang. Its a long shot, but also look for equivelancy in Subaru or Volvo, and even Ford Europe if you have to - which is all ownd by Ford International. ---
