The 68 mercury colony park is a nice looking vehicle inside & out. Do you agree ?

That's because it IS a Ford!

Mercury = more upscale version from Ford

Anyways, it's not a bad looking car. Certainly not something you see anymore so it's ok in my book. Though it does look like someone "spray bombed" the engine compartment with a can of "rattle can black tuneup".

A friend in high school drove his mother's, just like that but white with the woodgrain. Spent a lot of time going to lunch at "Jolly's Beefburgers" in it.

I think it looks good.
Certainly better than the SUVs I see all over the place. That Mercury actually has some styling to it.
