I’ve never heard anyone call it Merc, lmao. Greetings from a city where some of them are produced xd
Yeah, that’s a new one on me too. Where I’m from, “Merc” is usually gearhead speak for a Mercury not a Mercedes. Then again, I’m old and out of it, so what do I know.
According to wikipedia
Mercedes-Benz, a motor manufacturer and its products (primarily U.K. slang)
In the last 10 years I don’t think I’ve ever heard it referring to a Mercury, then again nobody talks about Mercury anymore outside of maybe the Marauder once in a blue moon.
The Mercury Eight was a runner in its day.
I agree, Merc is short for Mercury. I’ve had a '66 merc Montclair for 25 years. Im old too!
Usually i only have eyes for the Merc with a mouth, but the Merc 200 in the pic is one of the finest produced and is an eye catcher.
