Mercury Company Description:Mercury is an automobile marquee of the Ford Motor Company founded in 1939 to market near-luxury cars slotted between entry-level Ford and luxury Lincoln models, similar to General Motors' Buick (and former Oldsmobile) brand and Chrysler's Chrysler brand. The Mercury name comes from the "messenger of the gods" of Roman mythology, and during its early years, the Mercury brand was known for performance. In 2007, Mercury rolled out the redesigned 2008 Mariner and 2008 Sable, which both featured crisp exterior lines and were filled with the latest in driving technologies.
