Nice to see an interior in a real color.

It’s fun to live vicariously through Adam. It’s like we have a fleet, too.

"Crazy 'bout a Mercury, gonna cruise it up & down the road!"

That car starts faster and idles quieter than most modern luxury sedans. Pure class.

My first car was a ‘69 Marquis brougham 429 4-v . My dad bought it new and passed it down to the kids. How lucky I was!!

First, your quietly getting in, starting up the car and turning various things on and off is true automotive ASMR -- brilliant! And I certainly agree with you: these are great cars, very much underappreciated.
-
Adam: A man way ahead of his time collecting these types of cars. :)

Back in the early 70's I worked in an office tower in Calgary. Every day you would see a number of these executive driven beauties purring in and out of the underground parkades. Those were the days!

I owned a 1974 mercury marquis w 460ci.. such a smooth riding car, good trans, had skirts. Miss this size of a car..

What a beautiful car. A veritable time capsule. And as a bonus: green! There was long period of time that you just didn't see new green cars...but...I think it is slowly making a comeback among a few manufacturers. Thanks Adam for another real treat. Takes me back to my father's day when he worked at Ford and got a new car every year. Good times!

I love how that chrome strip goes along the body lines from the front to the rear and the parking and rear lights are substantial and beautiful. This is one of those very rare cars I can say I love both the exterior AND the interior, and that 429 2V is probably just perfect. The solidity of the doors and how they close also stands out to me and this one had that going on as well. I can't believe this is only $6000 with 19K miles! A Mach 1 Mustang of that year can be upwards of $60,000!

A lot of us have this car as our favorite. A friend of the family bought a '71 Marquis Brougham after two Oldsmobiles. It was white with dark blue vinyl top and interior, with the Twin Comfort lounge seats. Thought it was the handsomest sedan I'd ever seen, but the green looks better!
-
I love that car!!! The epitome of class, elegance, luxury, but still down to earth.
-
Adam, You are making all of us green with envy. 😉
-
Adam of all your cars for some reason I’m always drawn to this one! Just something special about it from a quality fit finish perspective to its presence. I think this is my favorite so far of your collection though I must say ALL are awesome!
-
Once had a loaner car with the 429. The garage I believe tweaked it a tad because it would always chirp the tires while the gas gauge moved in the other direction 😅but with cheap gas and being a teenager it was great 😊
-
Your knowledge and Taste in this era of Mercury in particular and the other American brands in general is impeccable. These cars deserve more recognition. I only discovered them this last year watching your Vlogs. Thank´s..
-
I would be happy for the rest of my life to have a car as nice as this.
-
Adam thanks, that’s such a beautiful car, we don’t see them here in the UK 🇬🇧 Fabulous to hear a spot of good old fashioned tyre squeal, just like ‘70’s cop shows!

An automotive masterpiece of elegance, luxury, and comfort! I can see myself driving this Mercury Marquis Brougham from New England down to Florida, with the comforting, soft green glow of the dashboard lights overnight, and seeing the sun rising. in the early morning.
