History


MERCURY logo

The Mercury Marquis was an automobile model produced by the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company from 1967 to 1986.
It was a large sedan that was part of the full-size car category, and was sold primarily in the United States and Canada.
Here's a brief history of the Mercury Marquis: 60s: The Mercury Marquis was introduced in 1967 as a luxury version of the Mercury Monterey.
It was available as both a sedan and a coupe.
This first generation shared many features with other Ford and Mercury models of the time.
70s: During the 70s, the Marquis underwent some design and mechanical changes.
During this period, the model gained popularity as a luxury and comfort automobile.
80s: In 1983, the Marquis underwent a significant facelift and adopted a platform based on the Ford Panther.
This facelift gave the Marquis a more modern and elegant look, and was one of the last efforts to keep the model relevant in the automotive market.
End of production: The Mercury Marquis continued to be produced until 1986, when it was discontinued.
In the late 80s, the Mercury brand was facing market challenges and decreasing demand for full-size cars, leading to the decision to cease production of the Marquis and other models.
The Mercury Marquis was replaced by other Mercury and Ford models over the next few years, and the Mercury brand itself was phased out in 2010.
Today, the Mercury Marquis is considered an automotive classic and has a following among classic car enthusiasts.
Well-preserved versions of this model can still be seen at classic car rallies and exhibitions.
