A name Mercury used three times for a big car with sporting intent. In 1963 it was a fastback roof for the full-size range, drawn with NASCAR in mind. In 1969 it became a large personal coupe, and in 2003 it returned on a blacked-out Grand Marquis with a four-cam 4.6-litre V8, a modern hot rod sedan that lasted only two years.
