Some pics of my old barge-body Marquis
Found some pics of my old barge. These were taken around 1997.
This is without a doubt the most comfortable car I have ever sat in or driven.
I used to tell people to imagine sitting in an easy-chair with a steering wheel in your lap. Cause that's what it's like driving this car.
1978 Mercury Marquis, 400ci with a C6 tranny.
The car had an odd selection of options. It had A/C and a power antenna.
And of course the 400ci.....The reason I bought it. Most cars like this (in my area) had a 351M. (yes would I have prefered a 460, but never saw one around here).
After that options were sparse. Open rear diff with highway gears.
AM/FM (no tape deck) and yes......crank windoews and manual locks.
Oh, and I had dual exhaust put on it as well. It sounded really nice (glasspacks).
I always wished I kept this one.
