Mercury was one of the automobile divisions owned by Ford. The company was founded in 1938. Between 1945 and 2011, it was the Mercury half of the Lincoln-Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company.

The car was called Mercury because it was the name of the Roman god of messengers. This claims the car's performance was good.
