Mercury Grand Marquis (1983-2010)

Of all the body-on-frame full-size rear-wheel-drive sedans that Ford axed, we'll miss the Grand Marquis the most. The Crown Vic was a blue-collar workhorse, immortalized as a cab and police car. The Town Car brought us to weddings, funerals and the airport. While both those cars were suited to do particular jobs, the Grand Marquis was a deliberate choice made by a car owner, and it made a statement.

That statement was usually a question: A Grand Marquis owner asking, "Can you help me find my car?

Hard to believe that the 1998 Grand Marquis shown above has the same cassette deck, bench seat and column shifter available in the Mercury's last model year of 2010. Harder to believe that it was a best seller.
