Missing from timeline
The following are missing from the timeline: -- Williamhortner (talk) 14:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Mercury Brougham, a Ford Motor Company automobile produced in 1967-68
 * Mercury Commuter, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Cyclone, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Eight, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Grand Monarch Ghia, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Mariner, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Meta One, a concept car from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Milan, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Mountaineer, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury M-Series, a Canadian pickup truck from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury My, a concept car from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Mystique, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Turnpike Cruiser, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Villager, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company
 * Mercury Voyager, an automobile from the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company


 * Some of those are newer cars and don't pertain to this particular timeline, there's another for 1980-present vehicles. The My and Meta One were never produced, so they don't belong here. Generally we don't include separately-named wagon variants unless they're a long-running model (Country Squire, Colony Park, etc). The Grand Monarch Ghia is still a Monarch, and the Cyclone was a package on the Comet and Montego. --Sable232 (talk) 15:34, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree about the Cyclone - you're right in that it started out as a Comet package, but it did become a separate model for a few years (1968-1970, I believe) before merging back into the Montego line (in a similar way to Pontiac's GTO moving from Tempest package to separate line to LeMans package). The Turnpike Cruiser, on the other hand, was only a separate model line for one year (and a trim option for one year after that), so giving it a whole entry is debatable at best.

Duplication of 1980s
Should 1980-1989 be kept in this timeline or taken out? It's in the modern part of the timeline, and 1980 seems to be the point of time where the timeline switches from historic to present-day in automotive timelines. It just seems like a point of duplication. --SteveCof00 (talk) 23:06, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
