Those breezeway two doors are rare as hens teeth.
Growing up, a neighbor across the street had a four door breezeway sedan. Always thought it was the coolest car.

[@Char_Jens]

They are indeed very cool. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for the shout out to the Marauders!! Love my 64 Park Lane two door hard top! Turns heads everywhere it goes!

[@bluesharp59]

Thumbs Up !

I love those 60s era Mercs! Great video!

[@Char_Jens]

Me too!

Thanks for the video. Brings back some great memories. I was fortunate to own a '64 Mercury Park Lane Marauder Convertible. White over white, blue interior..Bought it '69 sold it in '95. Restored 80-81. That was one classy cruiser with well bred manners 'til you stepped on it, then the 390-4V (Holley dual feed carb up grade) showed it's muscle much to other motorist's surprise. Sold it to a gent, learned it's still in his family. Great Car.

Very cool video, thank you

You omitted the wagons!
Neighbors bought an odd, new 64 Mercury. It was a black Monterey two door breezeway sedan with minimal equipment, radio, heater, whitewalls and automatic. It even had dog dish hubcaps!

I'm hoping to build a model kit of a 64 Marauder someday and I've actually seen one.. I've done a small handful of Merc kits( 49 Merc police Squad Car,65 Comet Cyclone,69 Cougar Eliminator,69 Cougar XR7 and 92 Cougar XR7)....

I had a friend with a '64 Marauder coupe, fire engine red with a white interior. Absolutely gorgeous and very fast. He hated it and traded it for a '66 Impala coupe. I thought he was an idiot.

[@Char_Jens]

Both very nice cars, I'd kept the Mercury myself. Thanks for the comment.👍

[@Racoldgin]

Your thoughts were right, he was an idiot LOL

[@daveridgeway2639]

Hi Char, nice video! Nice car! Take a close look at the bucket seats on the Marauder, they where derived from the Ford Thunderbird, as was the Ford Galaxie 500 XL. 427 Mercury Marauder "full-size muscle" They don't make'em like that anymore. Please reply. Dave...

[@Char_Jens]

Thanks for the comment Dave. I have many memories of these, and other mid 60's full size Fords and Mercs. Some of my favs.

My dad had a 64 Meteor 4 door breezway which was a trim level below the Monterey with no lower side mouldings and had a Ford Custom interior and dash and rubber floor mats instead of carpet.

[@Racoldgin]

What you are referring to is not a trim level below the Monterey. The Meteor was a car specifically built for the Canadian market. It was actually a hybrid car of Ford and Mercury parts. Yes, it lacked the trim and had a sparse interior, but it also had a Galaxie dash layout and minimal engine offerings compared to the US built Mercurys. There may have been higher trim levels of the Meteor, but I can't say for sure. Its kinda like the Frontenac that was built for Canada only which was a cousin of the Falcon. Cool car for sure, but in all honesty, it had nothing to do with the Monterey, Montclair, Park Lane line up. it's not even technically a Mercury. I bet you can't find a Mercury badge anywhere on a Meteor.

Man I remember those days when we didn't have all the environmental psychos you could order gas guzzling monster V8s. Love the 427 2x4 425 hp V8. My folks bought a brand new Colony Park Wagon with a 390 Special 2V carb that used premium fuel. Made 2 trips back and forth to CA. from NY. Miss those days.
