Merkur, founded in 1985, was manufactured by Ford Motor Company. During its four year production period, the brand developed two entry-level luxury vehicles. With a strong focus on features and design, the brand received a reputable amount of success. With models such as the Merkur XR4Ti and the Merkur Scorpio, the brand had no trouble establishing itself as a competitor. Unfortunately, Merkur models closely resembled Mercury models, which were sold for a considerably lesser amount. In 1989, Merkur became one of the shortest-lived luxury automotive brands in history. Despite its unsuccessful sales history, Merkur vehicles continue to be considered synonymous with quality. As a Merkur owner, it is your responsibility to protect your vehicle. You can do just that with a brand new car cover!
