1956 Mercury Medalist on 2040-cars
Mena, Arkansas, United States
Mileage: 100,000
Model: Monterey
Here for auction is a 1956 Mercury Montclair 2 door HT. This car started life in western Montana until it ended up in a scrap yard to be rescued and brought down to Grand Junction Colorado to be used as a parts car. Was then rescued again and the process of putting it back together began. It looks as though someone has replaced most of the lower sheet metal like rockers, lower front fenders, lower rear quarters and some floor patches were made but not installed all the way(they aren't welded in). The front and rear seats have had some new seat covers. When I purchased the car it was in the barn for quite some time. I then took the time to track down all previous owners to obtain original title that was long lost. Once that was successful I proceeded to make road worthy. All lights, brakes, fuel system, exhaust, and wiring have been gone through and is in working order. There is some trim missing (from being a parts car) but is all available with a little hunting(half the fun anyway). This would make a great Father/Son project, or a great start to a full restoration. Or someone could just drive it just the way it is. This is a running driving everything works car. I had planned on installing a 1996-1998 Cobra mustang engine swap that comes with car if the Buy It Now Option. Came from good running Lincoln Mark 8, and comes with trans, ECU, radiator, and all wiring needed. Please feel free to call with any questions or offers. Thanks Rich (772)485-3053.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman
Wed, 17 Nov 2010Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!
Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

NHTSA closes rollaway investigation into 1.56M Ford SUVs
Mon, 11 Mar 2013It's taken four years of study, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has finally closed the books on its investigation into rollaway accusations surrounding 1.56-million Ford SUV models.
The probe, which centered on the 2002-2005 Ford Explorer, 2002-2005 Mercury Mountaineer and 2003-2005 Lincoln Aviator, ends without the federal agency calling for a recall. According to The Detroit News, the investigation was closed due to a "low number of complaints" - NHTSA documented 180 such complaints that resulted in 14 crashes and six minor injuries, but the number of incidents have been slowing. The suspected defect rate for the trucks' automatic transmissions was found to be 4.4 per 100,000 units, and the brake-shift interlock mechanism failure rate was judged to be even lower at 3.4 per 100k.
