Does FoMoCo still produce Mercury's?
I was thinking they folded the Mercury brand back about the 2008 recession?

I thought you would recognize the pics? A buddy of mine in Oregon sent them to me.
The top one is of Mount Hood & the bottom one is Crater Lake. :)

yeah Ford closed Mercury in 2010, but still keep the trademark active . Just in case or more like sue anyone who trys to use it without buying the name. I always fety they were their middle tier maybe built a bit better Fords answ er to Olds or Buick. I still remember my fathers 66 Toronado kept 2 years and traded like everyone did then. Later on he regretted letting it go. I would have been 10-12 years old I probably wanted him to keep it for my 16th birthday.

When it comes to comets, we should learn from our dinosaur friends... (Sorry for toaster quality. I couldn't find a higher res on via Google.)

It does look pretty west coasty! And boy does both CA and OR beat VA weather. Humidity AND heat shouldn't go together.

I disremember if I made it to Crater Lake as a kid. Klamath for sure, and Shasta for camping and boating.
