What kind of car was the Grand Marquis?
The Grand Marquis was Mercury’s full-size sedan, with a roomy cabin and a traditional American design. Mercury was Ford Motor Company’s North American companion brand, and the Grand Marquis was one of its full-size models. Rear-wheel drive and body-on-frame construction gave the car a conventional, substantial feel.
The name began as a trim level before becoming a separate model. Canadian figures cover 2000 to 2009, the later years of the Grand Marquis.
