Ford wanted to create a new automobile brand in order to market near-luxury cars slotted between entry-level Ford and luxury Lincoln models, similar to General Motors' Buick (and former Oldsmobile) brand and DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler brand. The Mercury name comes from the "messenger of the gods" of Roman mythology, and during its early years, the Mercury brand was known for performance.
Mercury was its own division at Ford until 1945 when it was combined with
Lincoln
into the Lincoln-Mercury Division.
