The Mercury Meteor wis a car model produced by the Lincoln Mercury division o the Ford Motor Company frae 1961 to 1963. For 1961, the name wis applied tae law end fou-size vehicles; for 1962 an 1963, the name wis applied to Mercury's mid-size sedans, in a mercatin attempt to appeal tae the excitement surroundin the Space Race, afore bein discontinued. Introduced while Mercury as a marque wis in flux, an never a solid mercatplace performer in consumer sales, the Meteor remains mair an "asterisk" than as a weel-kent Mercury product.
