What's the difference between 1979-1982 Grand Marquises and 1983-1987 ones? |

Well for one thing the 79-82 models were called simply "Marquis" instead of "Grand Marquis" Btw, I don't know what the plural is for "Marquis" but I don't think it's "Marquises" maybe it's "Marqui" |

So then this could possibly even be a Mercury Marquis? Btw, I don't know how Marquis is said in plural, so yeah... |

Something about it tells me it's newer. Don't ask me to explain, I just get a vibe off this car that says "I'm an '83-'87" Here's a pic of a 1979-82 if you'd like to compare: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e6/1979_Grand_Marquis_coupe.jpg Also check for a brake light with your super x-ray vison. That would confirm a 1986+ model -- Last edit: 2008-04-29 23:29:35 |

I got that same hunch too just by looking at the interior shot. And I did check, if I had noticed, I would have said something. |

According to Wiktionary, the plural of "Marquis" can be either "Marquises" or "Marquis." I've never noticed before what a funny-looking word "Marquis" is. |

In French (as that word comes from there) it stays identical in the plural, like most of the words which already end by a "s". But I do not know how English works with words taken from other languages... (i.e. do they follow original language rules, or English rules) -- Last edit: 2008-04-30 10:31:27 |
