I read multiple reports in the media today regarding Ford's decision to stop making its Mercury brand. No word on what will happen to Mercury / Lincoln dealerships.

I grew up in a FoMoCo household, and my 1st car was a '52 Mercury, so this is not good news. I think part of the prob here is the "brand" mentality. My '52 wasn't a brand; it was a make of car. While basically a Ford, the '52 had an identity of its own. The Mercs of recent years have been virtual Ford clones, just as the last Olds products had become Chevies for all practical purposes. "Badge engineering" is not the proper way to design a car.
The cars we have for cruisers now in order to put a prisoner in the back you have to grease the guys sides with Crisco!
Dave Martin in Phoenix used to own a Mercury Professional Car. Patrick Martin has one that has been altered to lok somewhat like a Lincoln and I of course have a REAL Lincoln hearse
Dwayne was talking about the Comet, those were awesome cars and hard to kill too. Back then the Comet wasn't a Mercury offering of a Falcon. The Mercury Comet and the Ford Falcon were similar in size but that was near the end of the comparison. That is the problem with GM and Ford today their cars all look alike they just change the badges. And now they are doing away with the law enforcement staple the Crown Victoria! This makes no sense to me, their idea of a replacement for the CV Police Interceptor is a Taurus, give me a break!
