The Mercury Montego is a nameplate that was applied to three distinct vehicles marketed by Mercury. The nameplate first appeared in 1967 in Canada as part of the Mercury-derived Meteor line. After 1976, the basic design of the Montego was updated and the nameplate disappeared as the Cougar expanded its lineup. For model years 2005-2007, the Montego name was revived for a full-size car, a rebadged variant of the Ford Five Hundred.The Montego names derives from the Jamaican city of Montego Bay.
