My second car was my Dad's 1975 Marquis Brougham. It was about 10 years old when i got it as a college car for a couple of years. I really liked driving it, but it had a 460-4V, and keeping it fueled just got too expensive.My first car was a mint condition 82 Grand Marquis. Had 32k original miles on it my dad bought it from an old lady. Sadly it got crushed by a tree branch during an ice storm in StL.
For those interested in the 1970's Marks, this video does a comparison of the Mark III, Mark IV and Mark V. They are all pretty cool cars, but the Mark IV is by far my favorite of the "Eldorado Killers". Beautfiul profile...
