1968-1976

The Montego was introduced for 1968 as an upscale version of the intermediate Mercury Comet, which it eventually supplanted after 1969. The Mercury Comet was an Automobile produced by the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company between 1960 and 1977 with the exception of the 1970 model It was essentially a twin of the Ford Torino. The Ford Torino was an intermediate car produced by the Ford Motor Company for the North American market between 1968 and 1976 The Cyclone was a high performance variant of the Montego through 1971. The Mercury Cyclone was produced from 1964 to 1972 beginning as an option for the 1964 Mercury Comet, and continuing as a Mercury Comet Cyclone for

The 1968 models were available in four body styles: four-door sedan, two-door hardtop, station wagon and convertible, in base and fancier MX trim. In 1969, a luxury MX Brougham trim level was added.

For 1970, the convertible was dropped, but new four-door hardtops and woodgrained MX Villager station wagon were added to the model selection. The 1970 and 1971 Montegos (and Cyclones) were notable for their striking forward-thrusting hood and grille centers. Concealed headlamps provided extra distinction for 1970 Broughams and Villagers.

The 1972 Montego (and Torino) was fully restyled. Whereas previous Montegos (except wagons) had been produced on a single wheelbase with unitized construction, the 1972-1976 models were built body-on-frame and used a 114-inch span for two-door models, 118 inches for sedans and wagons. Although Ford called the four-door sedans "pillared hardtops" (they used thin "B" pillars), true four-door hardtops were not offered in this generation. In 1972 and 1973, a sporty fastback coupe called Montego GT (mirroring Ford's Gran Torino SportsRoof) was offered, replacing the Cyclone.

Montego sales through 1973 ranged from fair to decent, but were subsequently depressed by gas mileage concerns, and in-house competition from an all-new 1974 Cougar cast in the personal luxury mold and the more efficient Monarch introduced for 1975. The Mercury Cougar was an Automobile sold under the Mercury brand of the Ford Motor Company 's Lincoln-Mercury Division The Mercury Monarch was released in 1975 alongside the Ford Granada, which was mechanically similar After the original run of Montegos ended in 1976, an expanded line of Cougars for 1977 effectively took over its role in the Mercury lineup.

Six-cylinder engines were offered in Montegos through 1973. V8 power--up to a massive 460 cubic inches from 1974 forward--was available throughout the entire run.

2005-2007

Mercury again used the name for their 2005 version of the Ford Five Hundred, which along with the Mercury Milan filled the Mercury Sable's gap in the brand's lineup. The Ford Five Hundred (code name D258) was a Full-size sedan produced by the Ford Motor Company during the 2005 to 2007 model years in North The Mercury Milan is a Mid-size luxury sedan based on the Ford CD3 platform built by Ford Motor Company and distributed by the The Mercury Sable is a Mid-size (1986-2005/ Full-size (2008-2009 sedan created by the Ford Motor Company and sold under the Mercury The new Montego has a standard 203 hp (151 kW) 3. 0L Duratec DOHC 24 Valve V6, and 6-speed automatic.

Discontinuation of the Montego

Ford CEO Alan Mulally said that he plans on scrapping the Five Hundred and Montego names as he felt that their names were too forgettable by its core audience. Alan Roger Mulally (born August 4, 1945) is an American Engineer and Businessman. Along with a minor redesign, the 2008 Five Hundred was renamed the Taurus, and the Montego was renamed the Sable. The Ford Taurus is an Automobile manufactured by the Ford Motor Company in the United States. The Mercury Sable is a Mid-size (1986-2005/ Full-size (2008-2009 sedan created by the Ford Motor Company and sold under the Mercury [1] The new Sable went on sale in Summer 2007 and features the 3. 5L V6 already available in the smaller Lincoln MKZ.
