The Mercury S-55 is an automobile that was manufactured by Mercury. Mercury added the S-55, a full-size performance / luxury vehicle to its S or "Special" line in 1962. The S-55 was first available from 1962 to 19631/2. The S-55 was not available from mid-1963 to 1965. The S-55 was re-introduced in 1966 as its own model. In 1967 while still maintaining a unique model and body code it was now available as a packaged option i.e. S-55 Performance Package. 1967 marked the end of the big "S" model. The "S" package was a marketing response to the Buick Gran Sport package offered on Buick vehicles offered during the same time. ==1962–1963== In 1962 Mercury introduced the S-55 a full-size car to match the Ford Galaxie 500/XL. The S-55 joined the existing Mercury “S” or “Special” line consisting of the S-22 Comet and S-33 Meteor. The Comet S-22 was introduced in 1961 while the Meteor S-33, like the S-55, was introduced in 1962. For 1962, the S-55 was offered solely as a two-door hardtop and two-door convertible. For 1963, the Mercury Monterey/S-55 was freshened, with the S-55 now available in every body style: two-door and four-door "Breezeway" hardtop sedans, two-door convertible, and a two-door "Marauder" fastback sedan introduced as a 1963 model. Each of these models included the full S-55 trim of bucket seats and console. Power trains available for 1962–1963 included two different versions of the 390 (300 hp and 330 hp) and the 406 CID (3-2V or 4V). Available for the first time in 1963 was Ford's famous 427 CID 4V. For the 1964 model year, the three models of the Mercury "S" line were discontinued. In place of the S-55, Mercury offered the Marauder as the fastback version of the full-size Monterey, Montclair, and Park Lane model lines. To remain in line with the Ford Galaxie 500XL, the Marauder offered the same big-block engines as the S-55 along with similar bucket seats-and-console interior trim. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mercury S-55」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
