    50 years of Mercury Marauders – part 3

    There appears to have been a large run of preproduction cars 50 years ago today. Over the years I have positively identified 3 other preproduction 1963 Marauders (in addition to mine). All 3 of those cars have Jan. 17 build dates. All 3 are Marauder S-55 with Super Marauder 390 engines. None of these 4 cars was built with the racing flags on the front fenders that are so connected with the 1963-5 Mercury Marauder.
    1963 Marauder S-55, Super Marauder 406
    Only factory 406 powered Marauder, and earliest built Marauder documented to still exist.

    Love the history!

    It would be great to celebrate 50 years of Marauders at Carlisle and/or MVXI this year.
