It should technically be called a 1949 Mercury Club Coupe. In reality, it was unlikely this model was used as a police car back then because police departments could purchase the more powerful Mercury engine with the less expensive Ford. But as it still looks handsome as a cruiser, this information has nothing to do with the cartoon. |

It was probably chosen because it looks like it has a moustache |

Few police departments in the U.S. today uses Grand Marquis(forgive my spelling) other than Crown Vics. |

That's right, Michael Wallis who does Sheriff's voice has a mustache & so that's probably why they made Sheriff a Mercury instead of a Ford. |

Nah!!! Mercury's a MUCH better choice than an "Upside-Down Bathtub" Airflyte Nash!!! & Besides, Nashes weren't even available with V8 engines, All they had were straight sixes, Granted there were Nash Airflyte cop cruises on the old "Superman" TV series, But I think those were mainly just in town patrol cruisers where speed isn't all that big an issue and so sixes would be more than adequate. for State Police use or County Sheriff use, A V8 powered Ford or Mercury is far more appropriate!!! As they're perfectly capable with pursuing hotshots like Lightning Mc Queen, However, a '51 or '52 5.0 liter 308 ci Straight 6 powered Hudson Hornet like Doc with the Twin H Power or 7X setup would also have no problem keeping up with Lightning or the Delinquent Road Hazards. |
