Who Makes Mercury Cars?
Mercury cars was formed by Edsel Ford – son of Ford Motor Company founder Henry Ford – in 1939 to give the brand a wider range of models on a par with those offered by key competitors General Motors and Chrysler. Mercury cars effectively bridged the gap between Ford’s standard models and those produced by Lincoln – the brand that it acquired in 1922 and which functions as its luxury sub-division to this day.
