Mercury and Ford raise the tech bar

We got to look at a couple of new high-tech models from Mercury and Ford that are perfect for the modern family. First, the Mercury Marquis Brougham, with its Whisper Air climate control system and remote right-hand mirror adjustment, will get Dad to work in style. He'll be climbing the corporate ladder in no time as he takes his boss and clients out for rides in this stylish cruiser. They'll be astounded at the quality of the stereo system, with its FM band reception.

But let's not forget Mom. The Ford Country Squire Crown Victoria LX, with its eight seats, will give her plenty of room to pick up the kids from school along with a few of their friends. The Country Squire's digital clock will keep her on time so she doesn't miss an appointment to get her hair done. A switch that automatically locks the doors from the center console will keep her from breaking nails on the post door locks.
