(first posted 3/31/2014) When it comes to the domestic manufacturers, the products of Ford Motor Co taken as a whole rank low on my list of desired models. However, that’s not something any open-minded, well-informed enthusiast can apply across the board, given the multitude of different models, developed at different times, and when considering the automotive landscape of the 1990s, a lot of Dearborn’s cars shot past their domestic competitors. An excellent example is the now forgotten Ford Contour and Mercury Mystique. Nearly twenty years after their launch, they remain some of my favorite sedans of the ’90s, and I’ll try to do them justice.
