    MMs in TV & Film

    Has anyone spied any Marauders in television shows or films? I know as a car and Mercury fanatic, I always keep an eye out for classic muscle cars in films and TV shows. They're usually in the background or off to the side, but you can still pick 'em out.

    I know Mustangs and CVs are a dime a dozen (especially for the action films where many CV police cars get totaled), so I always keep a lookout for Cougars (case in point, 1968 Mercury Cougar in Dusk before Dawn and a Red 1968 Cougar you can see briefly in Heat with Al Pacino).

    But since this is a Marauder forum, I've been wondering if anyone has seen our beloved Marauders in any movies or TV show. List them here and we'll try to keep this thread updated with any sightings.

    The only one that I know of is an episode of Alias called "The Getaway". The Marauder was being chased by a pair of Chevy SUVs. It's on the 'net here somewhere.

    There was an episode of West Wing where the president's youngest daughter gets out of a MM. You can here the engine idling and see the right rear wheel.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    All right, where's all you SCIFI guys. Best one is on Stargate SG1, the episode where Teal'c tries to live in an apartment outside of Cheyenne Mtn. The bad guys are following him in a Marauder. Season 8

    Episode 7 - Affinity screenplay
    Original Air Date: August 20, 2004
    Teal'c finds himself in the middle of a dangerous dispute when he moves into an apartment off-base. Carter considers her future with Pete.

    Rest area, rest home -- what difference does it make? I'm sure Grandma enjoyed seeing all those big trucks pulling in and out.

    There is a show on SPEED called two guys garage the one host drove a Marauder,It was parked in front of the garage. It would be cool to get all the shows recorded. I read in a Ford magazine that a new movie of Hawaii 5 0 was to be done and Steve Magarett was to drive a Marauder Black ofcourse.

    The final episode aired 19 May 2002. There weren't a whole lot of Marauders built before then. I wonder if it was a prototype or something special?

    I saw one on the news the other night. They were following a story on a group of people who were targeting LEO in the DC area by following them home. They caught one guy, who then escaped and was subsequently recaptured at a hospital meeting up with his partner in crime. They panned across the parking lot and there sat a MM! Wonder if the duo were using the MM?
