The Montego name (presumably derived from Montego Bay, Jamaica) was an intermediate vehicle in the Mercury line.
1968
The Montego replaced the intermediate Mercury Comet in 1968 and was replaced by an expanded Mercury Cougar line in 1976. It was a twin of the Ford Torino.
2005
Mercury is again using the name for 2005 on their version of the Ford Five Hundred. The Montego replaced the Mercury Sable and will include optional all wheel drive. The car starts at the MSRP of $25,000 USD.
