RIP mercury

[retroguy]

Mercury will be gone by the end of the year according to Ford.

Another company that made some classic cars that will never be forgotten...

It's a shame that Mercury will not get the response that Pontiac gets at it's passing. Mercury was another great car in it's time. It never did get the recognition of other makes, even though it turned out some pretty cars and some potent ones. I didn't have a lot of Mercurys; only two 69s and a 64, but they were good cars. Many people didn't like the styling of the 59s but to me they were beautiful. Mercury's fall comes from some of the same reasons as those of other companies; cookie cutter cars that are nothing but name badges. It's my personal opinion that Mercury died in the mid seventies. I'm sorry to see the name disappear, but not surprised. R.I.P. Mercury.

You guys need to get out more. The death of Mercury was made public (and posted here) a looooong time ago...
