One of my favourite cars, in one of my favourite colours. The 71 Mercury Marquis Brougham is something special indeed. The side to side lights for Marquis began in 69, continued for 1970, anr ended with the introduction of the 72 model year. For anyone who foes daily these and wants to improve fuel economy, there is a LOT left on the table. The first step is breathing out. A dual 2¼ with H pipe will gain roughly 20 hp and 4-5 mpg on the highway. Doing an Edelbrock Performer intake and square bore carb will gain another 10 hp, another 2-3 mpg, and increased torque. For a big gain in fuel economy, a mechanical AOD is a bolt in substitution for the C6, and can significantly enhance fuel economy. This car is capable of exceeding 30 miles to the gallon

True story - we had as close to this exact car in our family as you could get. My uncle bought it new in Whitby, Ontario Canada. In 1975, he replaced it with a 1975 Thunderbird (Silver Edition), and at that, time my step - dad bought the Marquis from him, to replace his 1967 Mercury Park Lane. We had that absolutely wonderful 1971 Brougham in our family until my step-sister took it over in 1979 (she finished it off in 1983). Ours was the same colours, 429 2 barrel. We did not have the rim blow or the high back lounge seats. Other than that, same car. 2 things stood out to me - the overall build quality was superb. A B or C body 1971 - 1976 GM product couldn’t touch it. The other thing was the richness of the interior. I used to think Ford compromised Lincoln sales with this car. Talk about your baby Lincoln. Thanks for this Adam. I wish my step - dad and my uncle were still alive to enjoy this video of their car. Chris/ Oh, PS - we had green seat belts!

Adam -- Another great video of another great car. For many years, I too owned a 1971 Marquis (non-Brougham) in this same color combination. It too had the 429 c.i. 2-bbl., a pillared hardtop 4-door, without the vinyl roof. It was a 99-point car. It had the standard steering wheel with cruise control on the spokes, with the same interior fabric on a bench seat. It also had the firm suspension, and handled well. That was a great car with three small kids for a car show road trip! The two-barrel was perfectly responsive and never needed adjustment. It got better mileage, and short of drag racing, was just a better set-up for that engine. The only gripe was the power steering was so boosted that the steering wheel felt like it was not connected to anything and was simply turning in ball-bearings. Not that it wandered... At one time, I had a 1968 LTD 4-door with the 390 c.i. FE block, which drove wonderfully and got respectable fuel economy; a 1969 Monterey with the 429 4 bbl., which was not in such perfect shape but was faster than hell, and the 1971 Marquis. My ex-wife never realized the 1969 and 1971 were different cars, as they were both dark green like yours. Storage space issues eventually led me to sell those and concentrate on a 1977 and 1979 Lincoln Town Car and Coupe, respectively. I still have the Coupe. I'm looking forward to your next video of the Cimarron! -RDM in KC

Everything about that car is top notch! I definitely love the dark green and also the "proper" exhaust that is nice and quiet, so no droning inside the car like another car you've got. I had a 65 Thunderbird and that stupid shifter would come out of park by just breathing on the darn thing. Definitely had to use the swing away column and parking brake on that car. Had a 1972 Country Squire (dark green) with the 429-4v that was a joy to drive. I guess Ford went overboard on it not coming out of park so easy because one day the whole shifter broke off in my hand. My uncle put a replacement steering column (brown) in it so that we didn't have to shift with a pair of vice-grips.

Oh, you’re taking me back in time, Adam; my dad bought the “stripper” equivalent (well, sort of) at the end of the ‘71 model year-a ‘71 Mercury Monterrey. The car had languished on the local Mercury dealer’s lot in southern Indiana, presumably because, (in addition to its hideous “sea foam green”/no vinyl roof exterior), among its “non-features” was the absence of factory A/C. An immediate trip to Sears got an add-on A/C system that made the car’s summertime comfort adequate enough to suit my mother, for whom it was the daily-driver. The only power accessory it had was the power steering, which was standard on even the bare-bones full-size Mercs. No power brakes (you had to press the pedal firmly to slow the thing), hand-cranked windows, no power locks, seats, etc. But it rode like a cloud, was roomy inside, and the trunk was enormous! And the base 351 V-8 could get something close to 20mpg on the highway, particularly after the speed limits were dropped after the ‘70s oil embargoes. I think my parents drove it to 140K miles before junking it due to body rust in ‘83 or ‘84.

My folks bought one of these new in 1971. It was brown with a black vinyl roof. It was comfortable and drove like a boat. I drove it when I first got my learners permit. If I recall correctly, they paid $5,400 for it. You didn't pay much more than that almost 50 years later.

My parents bought a new ‘72 coupe, midnight blue. Beautiful car, very comfortable and quiet. Sadly, by 1975 it was cancerous with rust. Sometimes you could hear water sloshing around in the doors. Love yours, though, Adam. Love that color!

You always have have such beautiful cars here. I’m always amazed at how you find them in such pristine condition with low mileage. It’s like they’ve been kept in a climate controlled space. Depending on where you live parking them in a regular garage like where I’m at a lot of the car would just deteriorate. But this is a beautiful car.
