1989 Mercury Grand Marquis LS, A Brief History, Test Drive, and Personal Stories of the Cars History 

My dad bought a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis just like this one, except ours was blue with blue pinstripe detailing and blue leather seats. It was a 6-seater, and the first automatic transmission car I ever drove. (We had to keep bath towels in it in the summer, to sit on when we got into it wearing shorts!) In fact, to this day it remains the only V8 car or vehicle of that size or that size engine that I have ever driven. since I am tall, I miss having that much room in the front seat, the back seat, and a joined front footwell to stretch out in. They don't make them like this anymore. Thank you so much for the video!

I had a maroon '89 just like yours, I put 250,000 trouble free miles on it and handed it down to my son. I loved that car, thank you for sharing!

I have a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis LS 50th Anniversary Edition that has a rear trunk luggage rack . All exterior trim is gold anodized, but other than that could be a twin to your car. I believe that there were only 250 0f these Anniversary editions made. They are truly beautiful cars that run and drive great. My other two cars are a 1987 and 1991 Crown Victoria wagons both in excellent shape. Thanks for your video.

My dad would take us out of his white 89 Grand Marquis back in years when I was a kid. It is currently being restored and will be shining like the day it was made. Very informative video!

Beautiful classic Grand Marquis LS. I once had a LTD Crown Victoria LX of that same year and color, but my father stole it. I like how it's so similar, yet a tad more luxurious than the Ford.

Hi Alan. Enjoyed watching your video of your Blue Grand Marquis LS. It is still a great looking car which should give you many more miles of good service. I have owned my Grand Marquis only since January of 2022 and do not drive it in the winter. As good as my Crown Victoria wagons ride the Mercury is superior. If you provide me with your e- mail address I will send you photos of my Grand Marquis. Thanks for the video.

I had an 86 Grand Marquis. Teal metallic with white Laundau top. Tinted windows diamond on the back sunroof top digging the scene with a gangsta lean.

🔥🔥🤩🤩

Granddad had a grey one. He was county judge for 25 years. The interior smelled like Jack Daniels since that’s basically all he drank. Had a police radio in it. It was a cool car. Wish it made sense for me to get one, just no room for it.

I had the exact same car in Black years ago people call me Men in Black because of that car LOL eventually the transmission would not shift out of second gear so I just sold it for $500..... I certainly did love it though it was very luxurious and a very well built car I am a fan of Ford in general miss it so

My 1st car! Enough room for a body *and* a set of clubs

Love the car and video I’ve actually had three of them all the same year I loved the cars and should’ve kept my last one but I felt the need for newer but was wrong and now looking for another to keep and pass down to my children

Nice video Alan. My grandmother had the exact same car as you. I now have one of my own in brown. 👍

We had a gray '89 with a full black vinyl roof in 06. We bought it for 300-500 bucks. It's been sitting since the 90s after overheating, and being caught in a tornado or hurricane which tore off the vinyl roof. Just a new battery, and it started right up even though the rings were cooked. This car got us from Pennsylvania to Chicago, and then to Los Angeles with no maintenance work. It was drinking coolant, it was chugging oil it needed everything. Everytime we stopped at the gas station we also needed to buy oil for the engine, and we'd use the carwash to fill up the rad. We continued to use it in LA, and then ended up taking it to San Antonio TX where it eventually met it's demise... due to electrical issues. It wasn't the engine that killed after everything it'd been through, but the damn wiring. Windsors are no joke. The ignition was stuck on so you couldn't turn it off without disconnecting the battery, the domelight was on 24/7, the windows stopped working, the seats stopped working, the mirros were all stuck in the up position, the horn had to be disconnected, and eventually the starter died. Man that engine - that car! I still daydream about those comfy soft seats. This is my ultimate dream car - hope they don't pump up in value like most of the yachts. Here's a picture of it overheating somewhere in Nevada, Utah, or Colorado. imgur (dot) com/a/0OM9SC7 . I miss this ratty POS.

My frame is welded just the same with those snot welds! Also, look into replacing the plastic bushing on the transmission kickdown cable below the throttle body. Those things always disintegrate and cause the trans to fail early.

🤩🤩

Plus I like your videos and I would like to somehow fix the frame but I don't think it's fixable

I just bought my 1989 mercury grand marquis gs for 600 dude needed the money badly but I wasn't gonna pass on it when I tell you everything is legit mint condition.....only has 99k miles I basically stole this car for the price

How much? Want to buy it if is possible thanks

I love my 89 Mercury but I just found out the frame is in bad shape

Maybe its a 1988 grand marquis the 1989 came out with different dashboard.
