60K miles was alot for that car. The Merkur was luxury deluxe but a clunker for certain. Ford new. Too bad they could not make a go of it, if they actually ever tried. In the mean time Honda and Toyota were creeping up with their compacts loaded running to 200K miles easily. I recall as I had a couple of college student hatch back Toy Tercels [[used) after a couple of bad turns with compact Fords and Chevy's.
I once had a Pontiac Lemans. What a beauty it was [[77 or so year). Heavy, blue and impressive. Multi-barrel whatevers, fast with chrome. bench seating [[I was not so crazy about the seating).
