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
Recently purchased this for wife to replace her 96 Escort. New granddaughter needed big back seat and big trunk. Bought used with 19500 miles on it. Former owner traded it in on a 2003 model. Car is like brand new and hardly broken in. Dont know why he needed a new one but his loss is my gain. My wife is in love with this car and feels alot safer in it than the old Escort. — 98MGMGS
