Mercury was an automotive brand under the Ford Motor Company that operated from 1938 to 2011. The brand was positioned between the mainstream Ford vehicles and the luxury Lincoln vehicles, offering a mid-level luxury experience to customers. Mercury vehicles shared platforms and components with Ford models but featured unique styling, trim levels, and some exclusive features to differentiate them in the market.
