It looks like a telephone poll landed on it.

You think thats crazy, this guy can lift up a 1991 Ford Escort.

Does anyone know when the Mercury Lynx was dropped from the lineup?  Same with the Tracer? :huh:

Lynx was 1981-1990. Tracer was 1987-1990 (non Escort sister car) and 1991-1999 (as sister car). Altogether, 1987-1999.

Do you have a pic of a 87 era Tracer.  I always thought they were always a sister car to the escort.  Was it a combact or hatchback? :huh:

It was a sub-compact, two door hatchback or four door hatchback. Heres an 1988. It looks the same as the 87, 89 and 90.

Oh yeah, I remember those cars now that I see a pic of one.  Was that car a Mercury original or was it something Mercury rebadged from across the seas?  Kinda like the 1990's convertible Capri. :huh:

It was made by Mazda. Sister car to the Mazda 323. Ford owns Mazda. They bought them in the early 80's.

I wish Mercury would get back to actually producing some cars of their own.  Right now, everything is just a rebadged Ford vehicle.  :(

AWWW THAT SUCKS!!!!!!

Thats why Plymouth went out because all there cars in the 90's were rebadged Dodges or Chryslers and even one a Mitsubishi. Same deal with Eagle. Rebadged Dodges, Chryslers or Mitsubishis.

It will only be a matter of time before Ford cuts Mercury like GM did Oldsmobile.

I wish Ford would bring back a retro version of the original Ford Bronco!!  :roll:

Please talk about that in the Ford/Mercury/Lincoln thread. This is about Escorts, Lynx and Tracers. But yes I agree with you on the Bronco.

I like the mid-90s Escort, the ones around '91 to '93.
Those EXP cars look like the Mustangs in the mid-80s.
