I have a 1990 Mercury Cougar LS for sale that has been in the family since day one. First my sister, then my mother, and the last couple of years, me. For a car with this mileage the condition is amazing. The interior looks like it only has half as many miles. The dash has a couple of cracks but otherwise it's all good. The exterior has some normal dings but it has never been in an accident that I can recall. There are a few things I need to point out. The passenger side mirror caught the garage so there's a slight dent in the door there. On the driver side roof, behind the Cougar emblem, is a dent. Both are pictured. The power windows work intermittently. I did a little troubleshooting but could not determine that cause. A couple years ago the head gasket was replaced along with a valve job. During that process my mother bought a new car and the Cougar became mine. Now for the bad--it will not currently start. I had it sold for $1000 locally and when they came to pick it up, turning the key did nothing. When you turn on the ignition the dash comes to life, and sometimes the radio comes on and sometimes it doesn't, so while I think it's a bad ignition, I can't say for sure. It does have a new battery, and ran and drove good prior to this. The AC was very cold, in fact colder than my other car so I drove this some during our record setting summer last year. It probably won't take much work to have a decent car, but I'm not a mechanic and it's being sold as-is. Thanks for looking.

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
