@MattTheSaiyan I believe the day may come when big car styling of the 70s will become more respected, just as people today admire the heavily ornamented big cars of the 50s. Problem with 70s cars is people always prejudge them to be old "clunkers", because that's the only condition you normally see them in. But a big 70s luxury car that's been restored to pristine condition could be a very impressive vehicle - I can't say I've ever seen one in nice shape. Their day is coming.
The '80s really were the best years for large boxy sedans. The behemoths from the '70s were way too big until GM and Ford downsized them. The GM B- and C-bodies from '77 to '93 and the Ford Panthers from '79 to '91 were just right. They will always be the cars my dreams are made of.
TRUMP 2020 You can buy a good used 2011 Grand Marquis; it was basically the '79 model under the skin. There are plenty of 'em out there; just be prepared to look real hard. And if you find one that checks out fine, grab it quick!
I bought a 1989 Grand Marquis LS 50th Anniversary Edition with 67,000.0 miles in excellent shape last January of 2022. Great car !
I fixed one up & had it from 1995 to1998. It was a great car. I miss it.
R.I.P Cliff Robertson and Mercury
1979 to 1991 were the best years for the Grand Marquis. The new Panther platform right-sized the previous behemoth.
Agree completely!
From ATandT to the C A T was quite a stretch for the versatile Cliff Robertson.
The more you SEE the sign of the cat....
The better he will yowwwwwl!

That is the Anaheim Convention Center Arena, built in 1966.
Good cars. Much better than those road hugging weight crap cars they campaigning a few years earlier
I would buy this exact car if it were new today.

I think it was around this time that Robertson was blacklisted in Hollywood because of the Columbia Pictures scandal.
Cliff and his Mercury v Ricardo and his Cordoba?
nice lines in the 80"s miss those car with style !
the building in the commercail I believe its the Anaheim convention centre
Me gusta el carro
Compare it to the ride of the 78 and you will notice the difference. Downsizing sucked!
lum otaku You think that was bad? That Marquis (Grand Marquis beginning in '83) would last more than three decades, all the way until 2011!
Awful compared to the 1975-78 which looked much more regal.
Man stfu!!!!! Those Grand Marquis made between 1979-1987 were the real shit bruh. Their air suspension was unique
Oh you think so?
