The Mercury Marquis is a vehicle that was marketed by the Mercury division of Ford Motor Company from 1967 to 1986. It was produced for several generations as the Mercury counterpart of the full-size Ford (its direct equivalent was the Ford LTD); in 1983, the Marquis became Mercury's mid-size car. From 1983 onward, the highest trim level of the Marquis, the Grand Marquis, continued in production as the full-size Mercury product line. As Ford Motor Company adopted front-wheel drive cars during the 1980s, the Marquis was phased out after the 1986 model year; it was replaced by the Mercury Sable, the twin of the Ford Taurus. The word "Marquis" is a French spelling of the English word marquess, which was a nobility title prior to the Middle Ages. == 1967–1968 == | transmission = 3-speed ''C6'' automatic | wheelbase = (1967) | length = | width = | height = | related = }} The Mercury Marquis was introduced for the 1967 model year as part of the full-size Mercury lineup. Slotted above the Mercury Monterey and Montclair, the Marquis was positioned alongside the Park Lane in the lineup. Roughly the division's counterpart to the Ford LTD introduced in 1965, the Marquis differed from the LTD with plusher interior trim and a higher level of standard equipment. Unlike the Ford, for 1967 and 1968 the Marquis was produced in a single two-door hardtop body style; convertibles and Marauder fastbacks remained part of the Park Lane lineup. All four-door hardtop models were Park Lane Broughams . 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 Marquis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
