Mercury Grand Marquis 1974

Allmän beskrivning : WELL-PRESERVED COUPE, HIGHLY OPTIONED, LOW SOUTHERN OWNERSHIP, MAGAZINE CAR!!

Full-sized '70s luxury cars are heating up in the collector car market as the guys who knew them when they were younger are buying up the cars of their youth. For the guy whose family traveled with the Cat, this 1974 Mercury Grand Marquis Brougham should be a neat throwback to a time when luxury meant big V8s, couch-like seating, and a pillow-soft ride.
If you like your coupes big and flashy, this Mercury is right for you. As long as a school bus and bright red, it proudly stands as a monument to the excesses of the 1970s. The red paint appears to be all-original and this car still looks great, suggesting that someone went the extra mile to take care of it even during the oil crisis in which it was born. The sheetmetal is in great shape, with sharp creases along the tops of the fenders, that hood that's probably six feet long all by itself, and long quarters that seem even longer thanks to trim-fitting fender skirts. The paint isn't perfect, but for a high-quality survivor, this car needs to make no apologies. The hidden headlights make it look a lot more like its big brother Lincoln and don't worry, there's plenty of bright chrome and stainless trim to make it look expensive, and it's all in very good shape. Even the white vinyl top, which adds some great contrast, remains bright, clean, and with no clear issues underneath.
You got genuine 6-passenger comfort in your Grand Marquis, and nobody will be complaining about the accommodations. The handsome white upholstery remains in great condition and offer that kind of all-day comfort that you just can't buy anymore. Like the exterior, the interior appears to be mostly original, so there's some mild discoloration in a few spots like the door arm rests, but also like the paint, it would be a crime to change any of it. Gauges cover the basics, but some enterprising soul has added auxiliary gauges under the center stack, probably a good idea. This car also has just about every option Mercury offered in 1974, including A/C, power windows, locks, and seats, cruise control, a tilt steering column and an AM/FM stereo radio. Both the back seat and the trunk are massive, with the trunk area expensively upholstered in matching gray carpets.
Ford gave you plenty of horsepower to move all this sheetmetal in the form of a 460 cubic inch V8. This is reportedly the car's original engine, and it is indeed effortless in everything that it does. Smooth, torquey, and able to consume vast quantities of interstate in a single stretch, this is a fantastic cruiser. It's still wearing original Ford Blue paint on the major components and aside from routine maintenance items, it's quite original. It's backed by a C6 3-speed automatic transmission and a 9-inch rear end with towering highway gears inside. The underside is just as clean as you'd hope on a survivor like this, and includes a mellow-sounding single exhaust system that just whispers along at speed. Factory steel wheels with Mercury hubcaps are the right choice, as are the recent whitewall radials.
One of the feature cars in "Collectable Automobile" magazine, this clean, handsome Grand Marquis is a great entry-level hobby car with a strong pedigree and a lot of character. Call today!

om Mercury
Mercury, bilmärket, har en rik historia som sträcker sig bortom dess roll inom anpassnings- och hot rod-scenen, särskilt med den ikoniska Mercury Eight. Här är några nyckelpunkter att känna till om Mercury:

Bildande och Tidiga År:
Mercury introducerades av Ford Motor Company 1938 som ett mellanprissatt märke och positionerades mellan de prisvärda Ford-modellerna och lyxbilarna i Lincoln-serien. Märket syftade till att fylla gapet mellan dessa två segment.
Mercury Eight:
Mercury Eight, lanserad 1939, är kanske det mest kända modellen i märkets historia. Den hade en stilren design och en kraftfull V8-motor. Denna modell blev populär för anpassning och hot rodding och har fått en betydande plats i amerikansk bilkultur.
Anpassningskultur:
Mercury Eight, med sitt distinkta utseende och relativt överkomliga pris, blev en favorit bland byggare av anpassade bilar. Den spelade en avgörande roll i utvecklingen av kulturen kring anpassade bilar och hot rods, särskilt under perioden efter andra världskriget.
Lead Sleds och Anpassning:
Termen "lead sled" associeras ofta med kraftigt anpassade bilar från 1940- och 1950-talen. Dessa bilar, inklusive Mercury Eight, modifierades ofta med sänkt fjädring, kapade tak och andra stilistiska förändringar. Lead sleds blev en framträdande del av scenen för anpassade bilar, och Mercury Eight var ett populärt val för sådana modifieringar.
Efterkrigstidens Framgång:
Under efterkrigstiden upplevde Mercury, liksom många andra amerikanska biltillverkare, en ökad popularitet när ekonomin blomstrade. Märket bidrog till eran av fascination för eleganta och kraftfulla bilar.
Utveckling av Modeller:
Genom åren producerade Mercury olika modeller och bidrog till Fords utbud. Några märkbara modeller inkluderar Mercury Monterey, Mercury Comet och Mercury Cougar.
Nedgång och Nedläggning:
Trots perioder av framgång mötte Mercury utmaningar när det gällde att etablera en unik identitet separat från Ford. När konsumentpreferenser förändrades hade märket svårt, och Ford tillkännagav slutligen nedläggningen av Mercury år 2010.
Arv i Populärkulturen:
Mercury, särskilt modeller som Mercury Eight, har en betydande plats i amerikansk populärkultur. Dess koppling till anpassnings- och hot rod-scenen, samt dess distinkta design, har lämnat ett varaktigt intryck.
Sammanfattningsvis, medan Mercury Eight firas för sin roll inom anpassnings- och hot rod-kulturen, har Mercury som varumärke spelat en bredare roll i bilhistorien genom att bidra till mellanprissegmentet och spegla tidens bilströmningar
