Grandma’s Ride: 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis LS


The 1990s Ford Crown Victoria, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis were built on a big body on frame chassis for the fleet car market. Cops, security guards, limo drivers, and old people put billions of miles on the 1.5 million examples that rolled off Fords production lines from 1993-2012. This next example looks like it spent most of its life in grandma’s garage when it wasn’t parked at church or bingo night. Find this 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis LS offered for $6995 in Plano, TX via autotrader. Tip from Jeff.

Big beige bingo barge, barely broken in. Kaibeezy approves, and I daresay Hunsbloger woulda too.
Always post these, Vince, even if they really are too boring for people to be arsed to comment about. They’re like DT’s lymphatic system, dull but necessary, and the same color too. In a fleet of 3, I’d have one of these if a Roadmaster wasn’t available.
I agree. This is exactly the kind of car I should be buying next.
