'''Mercury Montego. 1968–9 (prod. 179,858). 4-door sedan, 2-door coupé, 5-door wagon, 2-door convertible. F/R, 200, 250 in³ (I6 OHV), 302, 351, 390, 428 in³ (V8 OHV).''' Upscale version of [[Ford Fairlane (1968–9)]], with the Montego nameplate taking over from earlier Comet-based models (Capri and Caliente supplanted by Montego and Montego MX). The same remarks as Fairlane apply: an intermediate styled to look like a full-sized car, with questionable handling to match.
