I have enjoyed a life-long fascination with American cars, particularly Mercury and its Canadian relative, Monarch. I’m old enough to remember Turnpike Cruisers when they were new, but not the 118’s. The Merc is now scheduled to cease production after over 70 years and so will join Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Imperial, DeSoto, Thunderbird and of course Edsel in history’s graveyard. Perhaps this is as it should be -they all became pale shadows of what they once were..
