For all that, this Meteor didn’t sell nearly as well as the Fairlane, and Mercury dropped it for 1964 in favor of an extensively upgraded Comet. A similar array on the same 120-inch wheelbase returned for 1963, when a heavy reskin introduced “Breezeway Styling” for nonwagon closed models: reverse-slant rear windows that dropped down for ventilation as on the old Turnpike Cruiser (and 1958-60 Continental Marks). Wagons — woody-look Country Cruiser and plain-sided Villagers (a name transferred from the Edsel line) — joined hardtops as 1963 additions. Breezeways thinned to a trio of four-door sedans, all hardtops were now slantbacks, and the Marauder name was de-emphasized amid calls for greater automotive safety.

The first three listed Breeze­way two- and four-door hardtops and four-door sedans (Monterey still included a pillared two-door), plus slantback “Marauder” hardtop coupes and sedans. V-8s now comprised a quartet of 390s with 250-330 bhp, plus a single 425-bhp 427. The basic ’65 look carried into 1966 with a new diecast “electric-shaver” grille and, for hardtop coupes, a “sweep-style roof” with a concave backlight. Engines remained strictly V-8s: 390s with 250-330 bhp, a new 406-cid enlargement packing 385/405 bhp, and, as a late-season option, a high-performance 427 with 410 bhp. Similar street racers were available for ’68, though the 427 was detuned to 390 bhp. The ’67 was even more thrilling with optional 427s delivering 410-425 bhp. The previous 390 V-8s continued, but the 406s didn’t, giving way to 427s with 410/425 ­optional bhp for all models save wagons. While this makes sense when you consider that the alien symbiote that turns Kasady into Carnage also carries some of both Spider-Man and Venom’s abilities with it, in practice this makes Carnage a frustrating villain for Spider-Man to have to fight because it’s way too off-balance. All the curtains have come up like new and the lounge suite looks wonderful!

Joining the S-55 subseries at midyear was a handsome “slantback” two-door like Ford’s Galaxie Sports Hardtop. Joining Mercury’s bucket-seat brigade at midyear were the S-55 hardtop coupe and convertible. Sales set a record for ’61 at 197,000 and were strong for ’62, which hurt Mercury’s new Meteor model. In fact, one reason Meteor didn’t sell well is that Comet was comparably sized yet more affordable. While synthetics appear to be the more environmentally friendly choice for the moment, there is hope for a vegetable oil (such as canola) alternative that would beat synthetic in both form and function, as well as production price. The record 1965 model year brought a larger full-size body with crisp, rectilinear lines “in the Lincoln Continental tradition,” as well as a new “torque box” frame (tuned for each body to minimize noise, vibration, and harshness).
