Junkyard Find: 1997 Mercury Cougar XR7 With Florida-Style Faux-vertible Option

When I saw this car at a Denver self-service yard, I had to wonder if Ford really sank so low in the late 1990s as to make this godawful crypto-laundau roof a factory-installed option on the MN12 XR7. I haven't been able to find any references to such an abomination in any of my reference books, so it's probably a safe assumption that we're looking at an aftermarket conversion.
Not that we're dealing with one of the better-looking iterations of the Cougar nameplate here.
The MN12 was a big leap into the future from the Fox Platform Cougar, and you can tell by the spoiler that Ford had embraced 1990s style for real.
OK. Florida. That explains the roof.
