Mercury's approach to aerodynamics resulted in one of the strangest front ends ever bolted onto a production automobile. The pointed nose and recessed headlights created a face only an engineer could love. Wind tunnel testing may have proven the layout effective, but aesthetic considerations were secondary.

Think that car was on my Classic Car. Guy said at high speed the back of the car would get loose.
 
I don't do winged cars

Same... when growing up we had a lot of them here (the nose pieces were made a mile from my house) and even as a kid i found them silly/odd... i always wonder if people think they look good or it's just the rarity

Rarity is the only answer and worth a fortune today. They removed the nose at some dealerships just to get rid of them. Remember, they were built for racing and sold to the public just to qualify as a production car.
