#22 — 1972 Mercury Marquis Brougham Time Capsule — Only 3,315 Miles!

Hey there, and welcome back to the “Yours in old FoMoCo iron” YouTube channel! My name is Adrian Clements, and today in video #22 we’re going to have a close look at a beautiful 1972 Mercury Marquis Brougham 4-door pillared hardtop that has only been driven 3,315 miles in the last 51 years — that’s an average of exactly 65 miles per year! We’ll see photos of the car with detailed explanations, we’ll review some 1972 Mercury press photos and sales catalog information, and we’ll see some relevant period FoMoCo literature. Finally, we’ll go through a complete decode of the car’s Vehicle Identification Number (or VIN) and production data. If you like this video, please spread the word about the “Yours in old FoMoCo iron” YouTube channel with your FoMoCo friends. Let’s go!

Yours in old FoMoCo iron,

Adrian
