1963-1964 Mercury Marauder

The 1963 Mercury Marauder, with its semi-fastback roofline, could be ordered "plain" or in S-55 trim. S-55 was dropped for 1964, when Mercury Marauders came in two body styles (coupe and hardtop sedan) with three levels of trim -- six models in all. The Montclair Marauder was the mid-line series. Standard engine was a 390 V-8 with 250 bhp, though four-barrel versions offered up to 330 bhp.
