Yea, i saw it tonite reminds me's of the history of the marauder!
I saw it tonight as well. Also caught the Galaxie 500 show a little earlier. I thought I saw a #12 Marauder in some of that footage as well. I taped it MM show on my VCR but don't have the equipment to make it byte size for posting. I was disappointed they did not touch on the 03/04's as others have warned but agree that it was still worth viewing for the history (I didn't really know the S55 story either). Speed also had an Impala show on earlier. Although they briefly mentioned the 94/96 versions, no mention of the latest Impala (Malibu) versions. I had never heard anyone call it a "Mar-roader" before the few times they did about a third of the way through the show.

They didn't talk about it but they did show one in the background. When the one gentleman was talking about the "factory ban" there was a black one sitting behind outta focus but you could tell it was an '03/'04 Marauder.

I really liked the show and learned alot about the history of the marauder. I think the early ones looked the best.

The shows caused me to wonder more about the CV links and Panther beginings. I found several blerbs on answers.com. I'll try to list the links below. In the MM blerb, they provide a link to the MM.net site and brief aftermarket comments. Didn't really care for the 94/96 Impala SS comment.

Careful, the "facts" they give about the S-55 in this program are not very accurate. Petro talks about it being a special limitted edition high performance car. It is not. It was Mercury's top of the line model in 1963, that could be had in both Monterey and Marauder. The S-55 was a bucket seat car with floor shifter, padded dash, the tri-colored wheel covers, and a 300 hp 390 4V in place of the 250 hp 390 2V. The high performance came in the form of a 406 or 427 engine (dependant on the first half or second half of the year) which could be had in any full size Merc, not just the S-55. The Mercury S-55 was similar to the Galaxie XL package.Originally Posted by merc6

Only factory 406 powered Marauder, and earliest built Marauder documented to still exist.
