Mercury-Zephyr
The Mercury Zephyr was a mid-sized car that was produced by the Ford Motor Company’s Mercury division from 1978 to 1983. It was a replacement for the Mercury Comet, which had been in production since 1960. The Zephyr was the first model of the Fox platform, which was shared with the Ford Fairmont and the Lincoln Versailles.
The Mercury Zephyr was available in two body styles: a two-door coupe and a four-door sedan. The coupe was available in a base model, the Z-7, and a higher-end Z-7L. The sedan was available in three trim levels: the base Z-7, the Z-7L, and the top-of-the-line Z-7LS. All models were powered by a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produced 88 horsepower. A three-speed automatic transmission was standard, while a five-speed manual was available as an option.
The exterior of the Mercury Zephyr was characterized by its long, sleek lines and a wide stance. The grille was rectangular and featured a prominent Mercury emblem. The headlamps were rectangular and the rear featured a wraparound taillight design. The interior was roomy and featured cloth upholstery, power windows, and an AM/FM stereo.
The Mercury Zephyr was a popular car in its day, but it was not without its problems. The four-cylinder engine was underpowered and the automatic transmission was prone to failure. The car was also prone to rust, which was a common problem with cars of the era. Despite these issues, the Zephyr was a reliable and comfortable car that was well-liked by its owners.
The Mercury Zephyr was discontinued in 1983 and replaced by the Mercury Topaz. It remains a popular classic car today, with many enthusiasts restoring and maintaining these vehicles. The Zephyr is a great example of a classic American car that was ahead of its time. Its stylish exterior and comfortable interior make it a great choice for classic car enthusiasts.
