    I gulped whenever I see these after losing a race in 2000 to my cousin driving his grandma/ my great aunties black Marquis 5.0. I was in my dad's E30 and yea I learned there's no replacement for displacement for sure. My first cars were 4.5 4.9 DeVilles after that!!!

    Slick ride, they're fantastic cars. Hard to beat anything on the Panther platform. These are a lot harder to find than Vics of the same era.

    Pretty cool video: However (and this may depend on several factors, including the severity of the knock/s) I beg to differ on the rod knock issue sir. I replaced both the connecting rod bearings and the main bearings in my 99 Cavalier, without rebuilding the entire engine, (again depending on various circumstances and variables refering to the individual situation) or removing it from the vehicle) by dropping the oil pan, swapping out the bearings, retorquing the cap bolts, installing a new oil pan gasket and buttoning it up; now the engine runs and sounds like new...

    Beautiful car, admire what you have done with it. Would you consider putting a window tint on it? I think the white paint would set it off, and keep the interior cooler.

    My uncle worked in the US in the late 80s he had an 89 Marquis maroon with red trim he loved it & when he & my aunt moved back to New Zealand he brought th Merc with him despite the import costs. It was quite the car out here so large & imposing compared to the English & Jap cars I was lucky to drive it a few times & never forget how smooth & relaxing the ride was it was fantastic. Unfortunately it was rear-ended by a truck & was a total loss 😢 I still have the hood ornament & turned one of the hubcaps into a wall clock ⏰️ for my uncle. Keep up the great work your Merc looks fantastic it's a credit to you 👍

    I was given my grandfather's '89 LS in 1996. It was my daily driver until 2021. Always garaged. Black over silver/gray leather. Turbine cast aluminum wheels. It was a fantastic and reliable car.

    My grandma used to have one of the last model years of this Mercury in wagon form woodgrain and all. A 90' or 91' but she traded it in sometime in the 2010s. I wish she could have given it to me. But the car I'm currently looking for is a first model year Taurus LX wagon in red.

    My dad drove for a “black-car” company and he had a black on red 1987, then he bought a blue on white 1989 and finally a 1993, green on grey which eventually became my first car. So many memories

    I have a red marquis year 1990. I wish I lived closer to you as you could probably help me. Right now I have tried to replace internal damaged upholstry but the seat belt anchor bolt will not come out and the head has been destroyed. I was in the process of replacing the vinyl top but had no help so right now it only has cheap white paint over primer. Also the clear is flaking and due to it being lacquer paint it seems it takes a special clear coat. The engine runs great although after a long drive, oil pressure can go down and the car can stall out. I did not know there is an economical code reader, trying to get the codes out with only one person is tough. I do not know why more of these cars are not preserved as they are an integral part of our culture. So sad to see them in the junkyard.

    My grandfather had a burgundy one just like this one when I was a kid that he bought new and I remember it having the coldest A/C that I'd ever felt in a car with literally frost forming on the dash vents.

    I really enjoy seeing these cars from the '80s. Back then my Dad had a 1987 Grand Marquis LS that was a really nice cruiser. It was white on white with a gray pinstripe and a gray velour interior. That was a really great car and he had zero problems with it.

    My parents had a beautiful gray 1991 Grand Marquis. Unfortunately, my dad was driving it on the interstate in the winter and he hit some black ice. The car fishtailed and ended up in a ditch before hitting a light pole. That was the end of the Grand Marquis.
