1976 Mercury Marquis Colony Park

All power and leather. 3rd seat. Clearly has issues and shows a lot of wear, but the auction is no reserve.

Those seats are vinyl.

No. Sorry. Respectfully disagree. Here is the same factory brochure upholstery in leather two-tone for a contemporary Country Squire.

 

Frankly, I don't care much about the interior, nor how much she needs in the cosmetics department. This one looks great to me. It sits right, it is solid with little to no rust, if wears its years well. Slap some seat covers on the seats (I would anyway since I hate both vinyl and leather). Get this old girl for a good price, and go for it, She's both a keeper and a driver.

 

Jwd - read the text of the brochure page you posted. It says the upholstery is vinyl. (Surprised me).

 

Confused. Krash, thanks, for the Landau Luxury Group brochure info, it shows leather as factory optional.

 

The brochure picture says that this is the saddle/tan Landau interior in leather. I did not know leather was available in these cars.

 

If I remember correctly, didn't one of our members have some trouble with this seller?

 

Says at the bottom of that paragraph "shown in optional leather", so....


But this trashed interior in not leather.....



Poor car has been driven hard and put away wet! It would make a great parts car or a winter beater, that's about it and the bidding is showing that

Yeah, these seats are the Brougham decor seats in vinyl, not the Landau Luxury Decor seats available in leather, they look nothing like those two tone leather seats in jwd's brochure pic. I'm always squawking about the Landau Luxury Group!
This CP needs some love!

Haha! Sorry that I was wrong about the leather. Anyway, someone in SoCal may get a heck of a beater or parts car - bidding is up to a grand total of $1.25!

This one even has the power mini-vent windows.

 

Really!? I can't believe the bidding is not at $3 yet!




I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the body appears to have potential but as for the rest of it all I'm seeing is a at max $500 beater. If I had one of these, I would consider it for a parts car. If I was wanting this for a driver, I'd walk away.

 

Poor old Mercury! :confused:

 

Man, I'm the one that didn't read. I got to the word vinyl, and stopped reading. (egg on face here - need a smilie for that)

This wagon is pretty much washed up. Too many of the trim items are damaged, particularly in the interior for it to make a good restoration project. I wouldn't even want to drive it as a 'beater' - takes way too much gas.

 

Way to go, Ya had to tell the world....Now the bidding is at $102






Any body remember Myth Busters and how they polished a turd, real turd? Bet they wish now they had this wagon...or maybe not!
