Beautiful! I read in a article a long time ago that Ford stopped making the 390 around 1969? But they had made so many that they installed them, mainly in trucks, up to 1979? My years are probably off a bit, but I think you get the point. One of the most reliable power plants ever made for certain. These mid sixties big Ford products are, by a huge margin, the most reliable cars of their day, and even hold up well vs the new cars of today.

I bought a convertible meteor Montcalm which is the Canadian version of this. I then saw this video and ended up buying a 1 owner 1965 parklane breezeway in black on red fabric interior. This video really peaked my interest in these cars. Thank you! I’m almost done restoring the parklane and the meteor has a little more work to be done

Nice Mercury, and a very nice owner with a good car story. The interior view on the drive shows the bright metal trim around the window openings, a very cool feature that looks fine and finished with all windows down. When I was a young kid in the late 1960s, my friend's parents had a 1965 Monterey 4-door that we rode in often. I remember it well because my friend's father let their neighbor give it a paint job that had tree debris and bugs all over under the paint. You could see the bugs clearly....

@@ronalddaub5049 I too wondered about that....! I knew Ford never built a twin-cam, but still, there were some factory freaks that saw the light of day thanks to racing initiatives. Ford did built an SOHC 427, but like most things that demonstrated Ford's superior engineering, NASCAR started whining on GM's behalf and banned it. Same political nonsense they imposed in the 80s when Chevies kept getting humiliated on race day by Thunderbirds....so a restrictor plate was invented.

Iam the youngest of 4 brothers and 2 sisters. My oldest brother had a brand new white 1965 Park Lane when I was 5 years old. As far as I can remember his was a 2 door, but what I remember the most was the AC. Our Father had a new 65 Galaxy 500, 4 door post and no AC. I remember asking him why he didn’t get a 2 door with AC. Maybe if he had gotten a 4 door hard top Galaxy, with AC, like the Park Lane 4 door hard top in this video, I may have given him a break !!

That's not a 4-door sedan. But rather, a 4-door hardtop. They were also available as station wagons. You could probably even get the 410, back then. The first Marauders were the Tri-Power 400 h.p. 430 c.i.d. M.E.L. (Mercury, Edsel, Lincoln and even Thunderbird optional) wedge-blocked engines. FoMoCo didn't do the legend a favor, through applying this title to smaller engine options

And, of course the most popular was the 2 door pillarless hardtop coupe...
