A friend just picked up a very rare 1968 Mercury Park Lane

It has the "Yacht Paneling" option. Of the original 215 made, only 40 are believed to still exist. This one has the 390/300 HP engine and is in beautiful shape.

Did he find it locally and how long did he search for it? So rare.

I'm wondering does he have to throw out an anchor to slow it down?

And a very nice paint color that complements the paneling.

No anchors..but he does have to radio the Coast Guard to park it.

Looks to be in great condition.

Not a fan of the wood grain contact paper.

“Yacht Paneling”? I’ve always called it “A Picture of Wood”...just sayin’...
