1966 Mercury Convertable in Daily Driver condition . Original Color I believe it is called Bronze with a Palimino interior . Originally a 390 2 barrel with a Cruise-a-matic transmission . Original California Black Plates and some receipts dating back to 1970 when it was sold used at a Lincoln/Mercury dealer. One repaint way back and not a very high quality one . NO RUST threw floors or trunk that I can see and the car was NEVER heavily undercoated . The is a small rusted area I saw in front of the right rear wheel from dirt trapped behind the rocker moulding . The previous long time owner decided to remove the motor to install a camshaft and that was how I bought the car . I purchased a second 1966 Parklane with a rebuilt 410 engine and C-6 trans . I installed that Engine only into this car . I could make available the C-6 trans.
Factory A/C car (not working but complete) , Power windows(they all go up and down) , Power steering and Power Brakes . The Top goes up and down with no issues and the boot is OK . The interior is not all torn up . The car has not been molested and would be an easy one to take to the next level.

Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

NHTSA closes probes on Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey
Wed, 09 Jan 2013The Detroit News reports the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has officially closed its investigations into 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 2004-2005 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey models. The separate probes found no issues that pose safety concerns. NHTSA began investigating certain Grand Cherokee SUVs over complaints that power steering hoses could detach during operation, thereby increasing the risk of a vehicle fire. Of the 24 reports of failure, none alleged smoke or fire in the engine bay, and Chrysler has since modified the power steering cooler assembly to reduce the likelihood of the failure.
Meanwhile, certain Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey vehicles garnered a government probe after receiving complaints that the models were equipped with faulty scissor jacks. The agency had received six reports of the jacks failing or causing injuries, including one incident that resulted in a fatality. But NHTSA says the jack failure rate is similar to those found in other vehicles. In those six cases, the government agency found the jacks were being used for something other than changing a tire, and investigators could not determine whether the emergency brake was set or the rear tires were properly chocked.
Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
