DT83 ◊ 2009-08-25 20:08	Definetly a Mercury. That looks extremely rare.

This could even be from the mid-1980's, because when Cadillac downsized their full-sized cars the second time, a lot of hearse owners felt they had to turn to other makes and maufacturers for new hearses(Ford LTD, Mercury Colony Park, Chevy Caprice, Chevy/GMC Suburban, etc.)

This is simply a Grand Marquis Wagon, or if it is from before 1983 a Marquis wagon. I know it is a 1981 or later model but from this view there really aren't any other giveaways as to year. -- Last edit: 2009-08-25 22:39:54
