The vendor reports the interior presents in very good condition
Recent attention including a new radiator, tyres, and headlights
A restoration project that runs, drives, and stops well
The Appeal
The Mercury Marquis Brougham is a fine example of full-size American luxury motoring: a vast, V8-powered boulevard cruiser built for effortless, continent-crossing comfort. With their imposing proportions, plush interiors, and that unmistakable rumble from a large-capacity V8, they're pure American excess at its '70s best.
This particular Marquis Brougham was imported from Los Angeles in the early 2000s and is reported to be entirely original and stock throughout. The vendor informs us that the interior presents in very good condition, while the chrome is said to be in good order. Mechanically, the car benefits from recent attention and we're told it runs, drives, and stops as it should.
After all that, it's a solid base for a restoration, and once that project is completed, we've no doubt it'll be a very rewarding, unique and deeply evocative classic. DSC08567.jpg171.17 KB
