Marquis retained the dashboard design of the Cougar XR-7 coupe (mixing wood and silver trim), adopting its electronic instrument panel option. Adopted from the full-size Marquis and the Cougar XR-7, the Marquis continued the use of an electronic trip computer. Trim The fourth-generation Marquis sedan was produced in two trim levels: the base Marquis and the Marquis Brougham. The station wagon was not available under the Brougham trim level; a woodgrain exterior trim option was offered (dropping the Villager trim name). During the 1984 model year, the Marquis LTS was introduced. Sold only in Canada, the LTS was a counterpart of the Ford LTD LX. Powered by a 165 hp 5.0-liter V8 from the Mustang, the LTS and LX adopted suspension and brake components from the police-package version of the LTD. After the 1985 model year, the trim was discontinued; only 134 were produced (making it one of the rarest vehicles ever sold by Mercury). Production Figures Discontinuation For the 1986 model year, Mercury introduced the front-wheel drive Mercury Sable, replacing the Marquis as its mid-size model line; both models were sold concurrently through the 1986 model year. The final example was produced by Atlanta Assembly on December 13, 1985 and by Chicago Assembly on January 3, 1986. Originally introduced as the third-generation Marquis in 1979, the design of the Grand Marquis was produced nearly unchanged through the 1991 model year. After an extensive redesign (though retaining the Panther chassis) for 1992, the Grand Marquis remained in production for 19 model years, becoming the final vehicle produced for the brand in January 2011. Appearance in media On the final two seasons of CBS comedy series Green Acres, metallic gold 1969 and 1970 Marquis convertibles (very low production) were used by Oliver Wendell Douglas (Eddie Albert), replacing the previous 1965-1967 Lincoln Continental convertible. The drama series Hawaii Five-O featured a black 1967 Marquis 2-door hardtop driven by Steve McGarrett (Jack Lord) in the pilot episode; stock footage of the vehicle was used for later episodes of the series. In the 1989 movie Uncle Buck, main character Buck Russell drives a banged up 1977 Marquis that spits smoke and backfires.
