    I have read where the Granada disc brake setup works under 55 and up Ford & Mercs but can't seem to find anybody who knows if they work under a 54 Merc. The local wrecking yard here has three Granada's with the brakes still on them, So I need to know if they will work just as on the 55's and up. Any input would be greatly welcomed. Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. I have been trying to find out for sure as I really don't want to buy the setup untill I find out for sure. And end up wasting my hard earned $$$ on something that will require alot of extra work and then not work. I always thought they were alike but sometimes it pays to ask questions first. Ken

    Most have 8" but 9" with disc brakes was an option.

    Ultra ULTRA rare option on a Granada, but standard equipment on it's Lincoln cousin, the Versailles.

    I found one in a Mercury Monarch years ago, only one I've ever seen around here. Haven't seen one of the Lincolns in a long time. They were popular for awhile but parts for them have gotten expensive even if you can still find them.
