The
signs have come down and
retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last
Mercury model has
rolled off the assembly line. This last
Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a
Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the
Ford Crown Victoria and
Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the
fish
memories.
