Great bargain, prefer the Mercury badging anyway. At least the illusion of a little more class. :-)

I'm surprised Mercury lasted as long as it did as a brand. If these were supposed to compete with Buicks, there was no competition. "Wouldn't you rather have a Buick?"

[metalfish24]

@BigSCTVfan2 It really depends on the paticular car. Mercury had more variables in quality due to what they were as a brand. GM has more brands then Ford, for the most part buick was generaly one step under Cadillac, and above the other intermediat brands. Mercury was fords only long running mid-range brand, some being nearly equal to Lincolns, others being no higher then a base line Ford. All depends on the individual car. I love em both!

Is this beauty a re-skinned Ford Fairmont?

[SteelCity1981]

@LexusLawyer Yep and later on the Fairmont in 81 looked just like this car in the front.

[blitz811]

@TheEldweebo let me guess you drive an aveo on your pizza delivery route?

[daved1974]

so funny how it went from being a Lincoln for so many years back in the thirty's and forty's to a compact Mercury in the late 70's early 80's and then back to Lincoln in the mid 2000's

[popomatic1970]

I drove a 78 Zephyr for a while when I was in high school. It was a total creampuff car too, white 2 door with white interior and a kickass 8 track stereo system. I loved that car - but my parents got in an accident in it and it was totaled (parents were okay tho, they were wearing seatbelts!)

[floooky1]

I was going to buy a Rolls Royce, but I went with Mercury since it was roomier.

[jakesaintsrow123]

@floooky1 Haha Sarcasm is Still noticeable On the internet!!

[landyachtfan79]

My grandmother used to have a red 1980 2-door EXACTLY like the one at 0:22!!!!! The thing was a friggin' taxi in terms of equipment, but the 200-CID Six REALLY HAD SOME BALLS!!!!

[jakesaintsrow123]

@landyachtfan79 My Aunt bought a Z-7 Model New in 78...Great car...Kept until 88 when she sold it
