I had one of those Mercury's with Breezeway window. I bought it used from a Mercury dealer, but I worked with the man that bought it new and tried to buy it from him. He wanted as much as the dealer offered on a tradein. I had offered $1800.00 and he still wouldn't sell.
One morning I saw him riding in new 1965 Mercury and went in and took the rest of the day on leave and stopped by the dealer and was nosy around and I found the 63 Mercury and ask what they wanted. They said we will take $1800.00 and I said how about $1600.00 with no trade. They accepted the offer. I sold the 57 Chevy later. I should've kept it too. The Mercury only had 10k miles on it. We drove it to FL in 1967 and it would cruise at 70mph at a fast idle. Still liked the gas though with that 390cid engine. I bought a 1981 Mercury Cougar from my wife's sister and it had 15k on it and my brother-in-law told her to get rid of it since it was worn out. I still have the Cougar I could run Historic tags on it , but you're limited in your driving. There was a problem with these cars having problems catching fire. Not sure which years were involved. I still keep mine in the garage. Ignition switches were the cause. Hal
