History
The Park Lane, was reintroduced in 1964. Until 1967, the series was again the top model of the brand, before about the Mercury Brougham (only 1967) and the Marquis were positioned. The series again included coupes, sedans and convertibles. A special feature was the Park Lane Breezeway four-door with modified C-pillar and electrically retractable rear window, which was offered from 1965 to 1967. Engine side only V8 engines with 6.7 to 7.0 liters displacement were used (253-431 SAE-PS / 186-317 kW).
For 1965, the chassis of full-size Ford and Mercury cars were redesigned; the Mercury line was given a much flat 60s look. For 1967, to complement the Mercury Marquis , the Park Lane Brougham was introduced. For an option on hardtop coupe/convertible models, the Brougham introduced "yacht deck paneling" body trim but was a rarely ordered option.The Brougham differentiated itself from the standard Park Lane by featuring 50-50 split bench seats with deep foam and box pleating, with higher trim levels .
From the model year 1969, the Park Lane was no longer produced, the new top model was now the Marquis. As the division redesigned its full-size line for 1969, the Marquis was expanded to a full model range, taking over the place of the Park Lane (the Brougham would largely be replaced by the later Grand Marquis).
