Some MERCURY Car Manual PDF & Electric Wiring Diagrams above the page - Cougar.
The first model of the brand is the Eight. They were usually produced in a 2-door layout. The Mercury Eight was produced from 1938 to 1951.
During this time, the car went through 3 stages of modernization. Initially, it had a 3. 9-liter engine. Over time, the volume was increased to 4. 2 liters.
Along with the new engine, the car received a standard radio, an all-metal roof and a new body type - a station wagon.
Mercury is a sub-brand of the automaker Ford. It was created to improve sales in the mid-priced segment of cars.
Ford was then focused on the budget class, and Mercury became a competitor to Buick, Pontiac and the cheapest cars of the Cadillac brand.
Early emblems depicted the Roman god Mercury in profile. There was a version of the logo where Mercury was wearing a headdress, and also with wings on his head.
But in the 1950s, Mercury cars had a logo with the letter "M". Also, emblems with the image of a cat appeared on the Cougar model.
The manufacturer often added new emblems to individual models. In the 1990s, they began to use a logo with three lines depicting the letter "M".
However, the car took part in a more interesting story: actor Sylvester Stallone, after filming "Cobra", took one of the cars that took part in the filming of the film.
In 1994, the car was stolen, and 15 years later Stallone found out that the car was sold at auction and returned it to him.
In 1994, Mercury cars received free advertising from singer Alan Jackson, who sang an ode to this brand - Mercury Blues.
In 2010, Ford stopped producing Mercury cars, which were produced for 72 years.
The decision was made due to falling sales, as even crossovers failed to improve Mercury's sales.
