1964 Mercury Park Lane 2dr HT review from North America
"I love my Mercury"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I think the tire/wheel combination was too small at 14" wheel with 5" width and a F14 tire.
General comments?
It has the high performance S-22 package, with bucket seat in front, and a full length console.
The rear seat was never sat in until after we bought it.
We have changed to 16" wheels with a little wider tires.
The engine runs great, get 13 mpg on the highway.
We are planning a transmission exchange for a new over-drive.
The only problem/design error we have found is the rear spring set-up. The car sags in the rear, we are changing the rear springs and upgrading swaybars on both front and rear.
The car drives good, but can't wait to upgrade front end and install rack and pinion steering.
It is still a BLAST to drive.
