The '''[[Mercury]] Zephyr''', using a name that was once a [[Lincoln]] model from 1936-1942, was introduced in 1978 as an upscale twin the '''Ford Fairmont'''. It replaced the outgoing [[Mercury Comet|Comet]] in Mercury's compact lineup. The Zephyr was a tremendous success for Mercury, and its new Fox platform spawned several other popular [[Ford]] models that were in use as recently as 2004. The Zephyr continued thru the 1983 model year with little change when it was replaced by the all-new front wheel drive [[Mercury Topaz|Topaz]]. The Zephyr name would reappear as a Lincoln model once again in 2006 as an upscale version of the [[Ford Fusion]] and [[Mercury Milan]].

See separate [[Ford Fairmont]] entry for more information about the Mercury Zephyr.
