[QUOTE="Silverstrike, post: 16876110, member: 4781"] Merkur was suppose to be their own brand, my uncle that worked for Ford at Cleveland engine plant and Walton Hills stamping plant in his career (1954-94) was head of getting dies made and so was up to DOT and US spec for the Merkur twins, for crumple zones and crash testing and passing. It was suppose to be separate and so not have the headaches that the Pantera had back in the mid 70's where the Mercury dealers had no idea what they had and how best to sell it. He really wanted a Scorpio, but my aunt his wife wasn't crazy abut the 150 MPH speedo it had as all she said it was a ticket magnet. He also said that when the salesman knuckles was turning white from gripping the top of the dash you was doing something right. As he the salesman had no idea what that car was, it was a BMW slayer, always liked the commercial of Jackie getting in back of one and reclining the seat back.
