1987 Mercury Grand Marquis Promo
For years, the Mercury Grand Marquis stood as an example of “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The big Mercury, a slightly fancier twin of the Ford Crown Victoria, exhibited old-school automotive design with its stout but heavy body-on-frame construction, solid rear axle and softly tuned suspension calibrations. Its more modern American and Japanese peers, by comparison, featured lighter unibody architecture and fully independent suspensions. The ride and handling performance suffered somewhat as a result, as the Grand Marquis just wasn’t nearly as athletic as more modern rivals. But folks prized this Mercury for its roomy cabin, plush, quiet ride and bulletproof construction, not its ability to tear through a winding road at breakneck speed. It’s no wonder that for decades its plainer Ford relative was the favorite of cab companies, police departments and fleet operators everywhere. more

I really enjoyed this video. It is a shame you cannot buy a car like this anymore. That Grand Marquis stuck to that formula for years. It was attractive, luxurious and more.
AWESOME RARE LUXURY CAR OF MERCURY GRAND MARQUIS 😀
Trailer tow III sounds pretty good. 3.55 gears and dual exhaust. Pretty snappy.
