First‑generation debut and special trims (1968‑1971)
The original Mercury Montego was introduced for the 1968 model year and ran through 1971. In 1968 a Montego MX convertible was available, and the 1969 Montego MX offered an optional “Yacht Panel” exterior trim for a distinctive look.
Three separate production eras
The Montego experienced three clear generational periods: the late‑1960s to early‑1970s (1969‑1971), a second run from 1972 to 1976, and a modern revival from 2005 to 2007. Each era represented a redesign that aligned the Montego with Mercury’s evolving market strategy.
2005 revival built on a Volvo platform
When reintroduced in 2005, the Montego became a full‑size family sedan built on the S80 Volvo chassis. It was offered with both front‑wheel‑drive and all‑wheel‑drive configurations, marking a notable engineering partnership for the brand.
