Mercury Comet Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1964–1965) — Second Generation
The second-generation Mercury Comet moved the compact sedan into a roomier, more conventional American format, offering straightforward mechanicals and comfortable four-door practicality for buyers who wanted everyday usability without complication.
A typical Mercury Comet engine of this era is a modest gasoline unit tuned for easy low-speed pulling rather than outright speed. The 3.3 AT sedan pairs that powertrain with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive, a drivetrain layout that keeps maintenance simple and highway cruising relaxed.
