Here’s one for the American Voxers from Autocade: a mid-1960s muscle car from the days when Mercurys were a bit more than Fords with lipstick.

Mercury S-55

Mercury S-55. 1966 (prod. 2,916 hardtop, 669 convertible). 2-door hardtop, 2-door convertible. F/R, 428 in³ (V8). Originally a part of the Monterey range, S-55 “muscle car” (428 in³ quoted at 405 hp) returned in 1966 after two-year absence as a separate line. Lincoln Continental-type styling. Very rare. Independence was short-lived: S-55, with slightly different styling, went back to Monterey range in 1967 (and proved rarer still).

Manufacturing location: St Louis, Missouri, USA

I didn’t paste the plant information before, but it does exist for most entries.

[this is good]

i love this. i wanna see more posts like this. I definitely am lacking in the muscle car education. Someday I hope to have a small collection :)

Timothy—you inspired these!
Thanks, Unikfrek! I’ll put up some more when I can. The next one I am posting will be a bit boring by comparison.
