Saw this old Mercury on my way to work this morning. Am guessing maybe early/mid 1980s? Must be on the tail end of US made station wagons. After that everyone started building mini vans, SUVs and crossovers.
It reminded me of a 70s Pontiac Safari I had. It was a real buffalo. Poorly made. Rattled everywhere. I drove it till a front wheel bearing went out then called the junk man and he gave me a good radiator for a 3/4T Ford pickup for it. Brought the radiator when he came to haul the car away.
Anyway, the Merc is just an old type of car that you don't see every day so I snapped a photo of it.
