The Better Idea Cars for 1970
Montego

Longer and Lower, with a Hug-the-Road Look

The Mercury Cyclone Spoiler is a true action car.
For 1970, Mercury Montego offers the intermediate-car buyer 12 models, including a new 4-door hardtop, and three performance-oriented 2-door hardtops: the Cyclone, the Cyclone GT, and the Cyclone Spoiler.

In addition to a dramatic new front-end appearance, new side ornamentation, and unique rear-end design, the 1970 Montego has concealed windshield wipers, and standard concealed headlamps on the MX Brougham, Cyclone GT, and the Cyclone Spoiler. Interiors are distinguished by all-new trim styles, redesigned instrument clusters centered by horizontal speedometers. and new oval-design steering wheels. A new 117-wheelbase and wider front and rear track add to the Montego's stability and maneuverability.

Newest Montego model is the smartly appointed Brougham 4-door hardtop. Concealed headlamps, luxurious cloth and vinyl or all-vinyl interiors, deep-loop nylon carpeting and teakwood styled vinyl instrument panel establish the Brougham as a leader in its field.
