Looks more like a Zephyr wagon to me... |

^Based on what? If you have an insight, by all means, enlighten us. 1978-1981 Zephyr, 1982 Cougar, 1983-1985 Marquis The bumper with black endcaps may be significant for narrowing it down. -- Last edit: 2016-05-02 00:32:01 |

Okay, after more research, the chrome around the taillights and along the bottom of the tailgate eliminate Zephyr from the running. The black endcaps are present on every '82 Cougar wagon I find, and absent from every '83+ Marquis. I badly want it to be an '82 Cougar, so I may be biased. Anyone else want to doublecheck my work? 1980 Zephyr: ![[Image: 1980-mercury-zephyr-wagon-low-mileage-rare-hero-car-5.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3913/1980-mercury-zephyr-wagon-low-mileage-rare-hero-car-5.jpg) 1982 Cougar: ![[Image: wagon4.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3913/wagon4.jpg) 1983 Marquis (this car does not have the separate opening glass hatch like the movie car, but it was an option through 1986): ![[Image: 24-1982-mercury-marquis-wagon-in-california-junkyard-photo-by-murilee-martin.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/3913/24-1982-mercury-marquis-wagon-in-california-junkyard-photo-by-murilee-martin.jpg) -- Last edit: 2016-05-02 00:46:14 |

@CougarTim - I never said that it was a Zephyr. I said that it looked like one. |

Yes. It does look like a Zephyr. It also looks like a Cougar, and like a Marquis. But it does not look more like a Zephyr than it does a Marquis. Ford messed with the names of these Fox-body wagons a lot for a few years, without changing much on the exterior (and even less under the skin). Why did you choose Zephyr over Marquis? It is a simple question. |

I think the black plastic bumper end caps were specific to the Cougar because it was supposed to be more of a 'Euro-oriented' model. That's what I vote for. |
