Please settle an argument with a friend. He claims his 1973 Mercury Cougar had rocker moulding sill plates that said the body was built by Fisher. l told him that Fisher Bodies were a division of GM and only made GM cars after about 1926. Still he swears he remembers it saying Body by Fisher. l tried to tell him that the '73 Mercury Cougar body was built by a division of Ford Motor Company. Please help settle this debate for us. Any documented websites with info would be helpful.

As a Ford product, the Cougar is body would not have been farmed out to a divison of GM.

Now, the Pontiac Grand Prix that was sold at about that time shared some styling cues with the Cougar. Perhaps that is what your friend is thinking of.
