About the 1982–1991 Mercury Grand Marquis
from the generation archive
The Mercury Grand Marquis of 1982-1991 is the squared body-on-frame Panther-platform full-size Mercury, sharing its chassis with the Ford LTD Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car. For 1983 the Grand Marquis became a standalone Mercury model as the Marquis name moved to a mid-size car, while the 1982 cars still used the Marquis line with Grand Marquis as a trim. From 1983 the standard engine was the 5.0 liter (302 cubic inch) Windsor V8 with a four-speed AOD automatic; a 5.8 liter (351 cubic inch) Windsor V8 was offered as an option later in the run. Body styles ran from a two-door and four-door pillared sedan to the companion Colony Park station wagon, with an LS top trim throughout and GS badging on the base car from 1988.
