Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What was the most significant change for the 1988 Lincoln Continental?

Answer: Front Wheel Drive

The 1988 Continental was the first Front Wheel Drive Lincoln, and is known as being a very unreliable car. One of Ford's worst flops since the Edsel.
2. What model was discontinued in the Grand Marquis model line after the 1991 model year?

Answer: Colony Park

The Colony Park was discontinued when the "new aerodynamic" 1992 Grand Marquis was introduced. SUV's were starting to overtake the poor-selling full-size station wagon market.
3. There were several innovative features on the 1996 Mercury Sable. One of these was the radio location. There was a faceplate attached to the instrument panel, but where were the rest of it located?

Answer: Inside the Trunk

The radio mechanism being in the trunk was an interesting anti-theft feature.
4. What model line was totally new to the Mercury line in 1988? (Hint, we are not discussing Merkur at this point!)

Answer: Tracer

The Tracer was assembled in Mexico, and shared many parts with the Mazda 323.
5. Which Lincoln/Mercury/Merkur model introduced in 1991 was assembled in Australia?

Answer: Capri

The Capri was supposed to be Mercury's answer to the Mazda Miata!
6. The Merkur XR4Ti shared its engine with the Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. Where was the XR4Ti produced?

Answer: Cologne, West Germany

"Merkur" is German for "Mercury"
7. The 1989 Cougar was an all new model. The 1989 Cougar XR-7 was even more exciting, with a standard 3.8 Litre Supercharged V6 engine. What was the significant change for the 1991 Cougar XR-7?

Answer: 5.0 HO V8 made Standard

1991 Cougar received a new front and rear facia. The 5-Speed Transmission was discontinued, and on the XR-7 the 5.0 HO V8 was made standard. The Thunderbird SC retained the Supercharged V6 and the availability of a manual or automatic transmission.
8. The 1988 Topaz was available with an drivers-side airbag (SRS). What additional option/feature was required with the airbag option?

Answer: 4-Door model

The drivers-side airbag (SRS) was a VERY rare option on the Topaz and Tempo, usually ordered on Government ordered models. This option was not available on 2-door models, or with Speed Control.
9. The 1993 Lincoln Mark VIII was a completely new model. It also had a new 280 BHP engine. With the new technology the car had, what would the suspension do for the car at a speed of 55 mph?

Answer: Lower itself eight-tenths of an inch

The Mark VIII is an incredible car!
10. What year did Lincoln make a factory installed CD player available?

Answer: 1988

Continental and Town Car were both available with a factory installed CD player in 1988. On both models, the CD player also required the JBL Stereo option.
