"GONNA GET ME A MERCURY" PROVED TO BE A VERY POPULAR SONG, BUT NOT POPULAR ENOUGH TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE MARKET.  FORD WILL BE PHASING OUT THE MERCURY BRAND SOON.  MANY WILL MISS THE CAR.  DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS, I OWNED THREE MERCURYS, AND THE BIG ONE WAS THE MOST SATISFACTORY--PLENTY OF SPACE, THAT NICE SMOOTH RUNNING V8 ENGINE AND A VERY DEPENDABLE CAR.  THEY SEEM TO RUN FOREVER AND MANY PRESENT DAY OWNERS WILL PROBABLY KEEP THEM FOR YEARS.  

TOO BAD, BUT FORD IS ON THE ROAD TO PROFITABILITY AND A LARGER SHARE OF THE MARKET WITH MODELS THAT  APPEAL TO THE YOUNGER CROWD.  ITS FAREWELL TO MERCURY.  ARE YOU GOING TO MISS THE CAR?
