great Mercury Marauder... I don't think I can recall seeing this year and body style. Very similar to a Lincoln grill



very damn flat! the hood scoop is from a 71 Mustang I think the owner said


looks like the small gauges are aftermarket, well done!


the flag is the same one Mercury used on the Cyclone


as found

in all the cars that have been made famous, these two Mercurys are among the most classic and well known, the Hirahota and the Sam Barris Mercs

the 1964 Mercury Comet durability run from Cape Horn to Fairbanks Alaska, 16,200 miles








images from googling, even Google books and Google newspapers

one of the few non Mopars with a Typerwriter/Pushbutton transmission. Mercury Monterey



Mercury Comet Cyclone... good looking classic muscle car looks






La Carrera Panamerica, by Pink Floyd, the documentary of 1992










this video was a good look at the 1990's running of the race, and it included clips from the 1950's and 60's to show the history of the race. It did a good job of explaining what brought the race to being, and how it's changed. One of the most unusual cars that has been in the race is the above, which I think is a Cadillac with an airplane greenhouse mated to the top instead of the cars windows, A and C pillars, and roof

it appears in the video at minute 56 and 50 seconds , and 57 and 10 seconds
