1975 Ford Video Network - Mercury Montego

1975 Dealer/Customer Sales Video

[@Drchainsaw77]

I can't help but get the feeling watching the city scenes in films like this that we overshot the peak of civilization by quite a wide margin. It was here -- briefly -- and now it's gone, never to be seen again.

[@jbb8382]

I love how these were considered mid sized lol

[@ercsan]

I believe the first minute or so of the video was filmed in Downtown Detroit. Cobo Hall/ Joe Louis Arena can be seen at 1:03- 1:04

[@Nikkipicky]

Owner of a 75 Montego. Still running a few curbs over here & there lol

[@KoldingDenmark]

Why don't you upload a clip with it.

[@tomallen9791]

Drove my parents 73 Montego to high-school my senior year in 86. Same color as this car but a 2 door. Big boat but felt safe in it. I considered it a part of the family. ❤️

[@badapple65]

Mid-Sized! My first car was a 1975 Montego. Got it at 16 yrs old in 1981

[@johnsimun6533]

I’m sold. When I tried to find my local Mercury dealer. I couldn’t find one. I even expanded my search, still none showed up. I would enjoy an 1975 Mercury Montego.

[@rightlanehog3151]

What an excellent history vignette. The boats in that harbor were smaller than the land yachts driving on the streets. My choice has to be the wagon.😁

[@sneakerfreak2002]

After drink four beers, squinting my eyes and put on my 1975 glasses… it looks pretty sweet❤

[@27twilightmoon]

I would love to own one of these. Not too big, not too posh, just perfect

[@lori228]

Beautifill music

[@TheSpritz0]

I remember when I was a kid the 2-door Montegos were VERY popular!!!

[@rightlanehog3151]

2 door, 4 door and wagon. There truly was a Montego for everyone.

[@TheSpritz0]

I would have been in a 2 door MX model with Air Conditioning and the best stereo I could get!!

[@rightlanehog3151]

As others have noted, the 2 door Montego was competing with the Cougar in the same Mercury showroom! I wonder what the price difference was on models with similar equipment. Speaking of showrooms, I distinctly remember in the mid-70s when a local Mercury dealer rented floor space in our town's most modern shopping mall to display a selection of cars. One of the Montegos was Dijon mustard yellow. I suppose it rusted to oblivion decades ago.

[@TheSpritz0]

@@rightlanehog3151 Imagine how cool you would have looked had you bought that Yellow Montego!!!!

[@jimdayton8837]

I've never seen this video before. Very cool! Thanks for posting!

[@jamesmcintire3800]

Never see the sedans and wagons anymore. I just remember the coupes that dominated Winston Cup racing in the 70’s with David Pearson at the wheel

[@looloorex]

we had a dark green 2-door Montego...loved her

[@Roshake77]

Pillared hardtop... No words

[@nlpnt]

Usually it seemed like they designed a Ford first and then L-M was thrown table scraps to make the best of, but this design looks so much cleaner than a Ford Torino.

[@joserafaelgrangefuenmayor7744]

Me gusta el carro,es hermano del Ford Gran Torino 1975 (Fairlane 500),es una verdadera joya sobre ruedas,además es un carro de colección, que me encanta.

[@rhettjanes1056]

I have this exact same car except mine is a four-door in white with blue top and navy blue vinyl interior I love it such an Elegance about it

[@nathanwilkie3697]

Nice heavy classy cars

[@williamgreeter1855]

I think the Mercury Sable was the new Montego in 1986 and newer

[@peterhogan9537]

it looks like a four door Cougar.

[@turbinegraphics16]

lots of interesting traffic in the background and just think how many gallons it took to catch a couple of little fish.

[@robertmoon906]

I put a Weiand Tunnel-Ram on mine. Two 4bbl Holleys. B&M floor shifter. And other goodies.

[@thebestisyettocome4114]

Can I order today ?.

[@mauriziomerli4470]

英国に同名のクルマでオースチン・モンテゴ(Austin・Montego)がある

[@rosendodominguez4576]

THE TIME WAN AMARECAN CARS WAR REAL CARS.NAT THE JANK OF.TODAS.

[@Tatortot318]

it never got it's recognition because it competed with the Mercury Cougar.

[@Santor-]

It would sold alot better if they had only made the hood a little longer.

[@prestoncheapbtheadphoneste3010]

I like the power steering option. Too bad it’s not standard! 😑😐

[@milfordcivic6755]

Aka Ford Torino Elite

[@rhettjanes1056]

I have one just like it mine is a four-door white with navy blue top and matching vinyl navy blue interior the only thing though that's that's mine a part and apparently this was ordered in the car at the time mine does not have the 351 Windsor mine has a 351 modified in it

[@socalltd]

I have a 74 LTD and I do not know if the engine could be ordered specifically when bought. seen many 351W and 351M in various fords but wondered if there was a order or a randomness to it. I got a 400 in mine

[@242HP]

I miss the cars of the 70s. Full framed, RWD cars with real bumpers and lots of chrome trim. Today's cars are nothing but contorted shapes, cheap plastics and gimmicky tech features.

[@KoldingDenmark]

I still drive mine - a 1975 Continental Mark IV. My first car back in 1980 was a 1975 Mercury Montego MX coupe. Bought it in Buffalo N.Y., and drove it via Boston, N.Y. City, Washington to L.A. - I wish I had shipped it home to keep.

[@fordmavericksosx3569]

Agreed 100%!

[@CJColvin]

Exactly mate but these modern car lovers will never learn.

[@CJColvin]

@japanwatchconnection I agree the 70s cars (especially the mid 70s) where garbage but the American cars from the 50s, 60s, and early 70s where very well built and looked beautiful as well (saying anything before 1973 the oil crises) but as for the American trucks those where well built as well.

[@desiderium3243]

Sweet car but the Plymouth satellite got my attention at 0:59

[@seand2711]

I'll take the wagon please.

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

I like old FoMoCo cars but never cared for the 1972 - 1976 Ford Torino and Mercury Montego. The GM mid-size sedans were better. Styling improved with the 1977 - 1979 Ford LTD II and Mercury Cougar.

[@postmodernrecycler]

Ugh, that banana line styling of the early and mid '70s is so ugly!

[@calebproductions5970]

You wanna see ugly , look at today's cars.there is no cure for that ugly.

[@CJColvin]

@@calebproductions5970 Excatly mate but these modern car lovers will never learn.

[@1983jblack]

@@CJColvin I love old cars but also appreciate new cars. I own a Charger which I think is a nice looking car. Would I love to see new cars have steel bumpers that are chromed, all steel bodies, split bench seats with column shifters, sealed beam head lamps, etc? Absolutely, but unfortunately automobile manufacturers won't build them like that anymore and older cars are not getting cheaper (1978 Pinto for $14,000) so I'll have to make due with what is available. My folks had the big older cars (1977 LTD, a pair of Colony Park wagons, grandparents had a Mark V) and loved riding in them all. Style is a matter of preference and personally, cars from the '50s are far better looking than from the '70s

[@CJColvin]

@@1983jblack That's totally true my brother. You can blame the government and EPA for all of this.
