Thanks pops! I'll check with my dad and see if he had any luck yet on finding one. If not I will ask him what he is willing to pay for a used one and if he knows what will interchange. Thanks again.

When I got transferred with Philips from Canada to New Jersey in 1979 I brought my Canadian built 1977 Mercury Monarch Special Edition ( I believe a Canadian model only) It was white with a gold half vinyl roof with special gold pinstriping, gold accented wheels, gold interior etc. I loved that car! Several people back in the day in NJ said they had never seen one like it. Lost that car to a 1983 divorce from my English wife, don't know where that car ended up.

Pop, it is always "cheaper to keep her". Took me years to figure that one out!

I've posted this pic before but maybe you didn't see it.
It was a '75 Ghia, originally chocolate brown with a beige 1/2 vinyl roof and all that heavy side and rear trim, 351W buckets console.
I really enjoyed this one too.

Fred, nice Granada, did it come with A 351? I thought they were all 302's? I'm not even sure if they had Monarchs in the US in 1977?
