Hi, guys… interesting talk, but just so you know, Mercury came about in 1939, not the 50s…It was added to have a step between Ford and Lincoln, because Lincolns were darn expensive back then (more so than Fords).

Mercury really started to lose its way in the 1970s with cars like the Bobcat (Pinto clone) and Zephyr (Fairmont clone).
