About the 1998–2011 Mercury Grand Marquis
from the generation archive
The Mercury Grand Marquis (1998-2011) is a full-size, rear-wheel-drive sedan built on Ford's body-on-frame Panther platform and sold only as a four-door sedan. Every year used the 4.6 liter SOHC modular V8 paired with a four-speed automatic, and the car shared its platform with the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car. The 1998 revision brought a restyled body while the steering stayed recirculating-ball, the 2003 update introduced a revised hydroformed frame together with rack-and-pinion steering, and production ended at St. Thomas Assembly in Ontario, Canada on January 4, 2011.
The story
I bought this silver GS model in 2009 with 27,474 miles. This is my second panther replacing my 1997 dark toreador red LS. The mods so far are Eaton Detroit stock ride height heavy duty coil springs front and rear, Addco's front and rear sway bar package and 17 inch Crown Vic Sport wheels with Falcon ZE 512 tiresand after market centercaps so my merc doesnt say ford were you can easily see it. — pantherdriver2000
