Well, this pic describes them well.

My 89 merc grand marquis sedan was really getting clapped out. with no
more fun. Oh my son still drives it back ad forth to work, but even
he's complainging about it being no fun either. hear and air don't
work, windows don't work, needs alighned. weak springs, leaky trunk, I
could keep going. about it being no fun, but eh. whats the point.

SO! as luck (or fate) would ahve it, I ran across a 1991 Grand Marquis
Colony Park wagon . it's nice (really!) 113,000 mi "Rich Corinthian
leather (no tears) loaded with about every option you could get in
1991. ie it's got all the butt wipes!

I bought it locally for $750.00. I thought that was worth my time.


Those were (are) great old cars. I had an '82 Ford Country Squire, an '85
and an '87 Marquis sedan. Decent mileage for the era and size and a very
comfortable ride. My kids were embarrassed to be seen in the '82 wagon.
It reminded them of the car Chevy Chase drove in "Vacation".

LOL!

Today my daughter asked me if I'd give her a ride to school.

"Sure! you want to go in the "cruiser"?

She immediatly hopped into her moms 2003 Chrysler Town and Country
van.


I guess she expressed her opinion.

Also I was fascinated that I found that pic. With exception of the
years, those two cars are the spittin' image of what I have.Same color
and all. I cant pull the reese hitch off the sedan because it's
welded on, and the guy that did it, really did quality work!

I finally got a "woody!"
