Hiergehts ◊ 2006-06-16 03:55	1975-78 Mercury full-size so most likely a Marquis (base model in those days).
qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-06-16 03:59	That grille doesn't look like a Mercury. It looks like a late '70s Chrysler.

qwerty_86 ◊ 2006-06-16 05:54	I can't find a picture of any Mercury with that grille. Most of them from the '70s have vertical bars.
Hiergehts ◊ 2006-06-16 07:51	I could not find one either, only those with hidden headlamps (Grand Marquis). Perhaps it's a Mexican version?
philr ◊ 2006-06-16 09:12	It's a 1975 Mercury Meteor. I don't know if this model was offered in the United States but it was available here in Canada (and this was filmed in Canada).

Mercury did have Meteors in the United States, but they weren't a seperate division, like they were in Canada.
Ddey65 ◊ 2006-08-14 04:17	Shouldn't the origin marking include a Canadian flag?
antp ◊ 2006-08-14 10:38	Is it a US car or a model designed for Canada? In the first case, it would get a "CDN" oval thing after the US flag, in the other case it gets the Canadian flag.
antp ◊ 2006-08-14 10:39	btw isn't that car a "Meteor Montcalm" like /vehicle_42648-Meteor-Montcalm-1975.html if it is a Canadian one?
