Ford just reincarnated the Montego nameplate. For those who don't know where it came from, here are a few images of some of the last of the initial breed. Although sold under the Mercury nameplate, you should know it's still a Ford at heart, And being I've got a Cyclone-clone in the works, it's found a place here on this site.

Photos of the Cyclone family from Ford dealer sales training brochure comparing Cyclones with respecitve competitors. Oddly, this base Cyclone seems to be wearing Ford hubcaps, and unusual for Ford to show base Cyclones with optional vinyl top and racing mirror.
