2004 Mercury Grand Marquis

Though the Marquis' looks is reminiscent of an long gone era, beneath its classic beauty is a sedan that has been fitted with some of the best modern mechanical equipments. To improve its crash performance the Marquis has been fitted with a full-perimeter frame that makes use of a strong yet lightweight hydroformed steel section for the frontal rails.

Aside from that, the Marquis also underwent suspension upgrades to enhance the car's smooth and comfortable performance. A rack-and-pinion system with variable power assist and a dual-rate brake booster has also been added. The Mercury Grand Marquis' standard models are equipped with a 224 horsepower, 4.6 liter V8 engine coupled to a four-speed automatic.

The handling package available for the LS model uses an upgraded engine capable of producing 239 horsepower. Inside the Marquis is its best-selling pitch, the large cabin along with the comfortable bench seats gives enough room for six passengers. The trunk is large too, with enough room for 20.6 cubic feet worth of cargo.
