Mercury introduced the Monarch as an upscale twin to the Ford Granada, differing mainly in grilles, taillights and slightly fancier trim. It was offered as a 2-door coupe or a 4-door sedan - no wagon bodystyle was offered. Drivetrain choices were also the same as the Granada. There were base, Ghia and Grand Monarch Ghia models - the latter model was dropped in 1977 to make way for the new Lincoln Versailles, which was introduced as Ford's answer to the Cadillac Seville. Monarchs got a small facelift in 1978 that included rectangular headlights but were otherwise largely unchanged. The Monarch was sold through the 1980 model year when it was replaced by an all-new Fox-body Cougar in 1981.
