MY OLD MERCURY MARQUIS!

      This past week, I had helped out, on a couple of occasions, customers groceries to their early model cars with the old fashion deep- huge trunks. It reminded me of my first new family auto that I purchased when out of college in 1968.

        That car was a four door hard-top Mercury Marquis. It was a beauty. A brown tone with gold flicks. For the time it was quite impressive. And, the thing that was neat besides all the passenger space and horsepower was the huge and deep space in the trunk. In addition, being a big "Mob" movie fan,  I always loved it that gangsters used these type of autos with the deep trunks. Obviously, they held more bodies if needed!
