American Cruisers: Mercury Marquis - Race Cars 2013

The Mercury Marquis, another land yacht that did well during its time, was the brand's top-end model. But like the Mercury brand, it was killed off in 2011. There is a very good reason for having picked the Marquis/Grand Marquis instead of one of its platform-mates from Lincoln or Ford. Anyone who has spent any amount of time in New York City thinks of it as nothing more than an expensive taxi, and what's more, there's already a Lincoln in this series. As for the Crown Victoria, well, you'd just be scrolling through the pictures thinking "cop car". Younger readers won't remember a car called simply "Marquis", but rather the Grand Marquis, and so we should explain.
