Here is the information you needed to know from the same website as above.
The Bobcat first appeared as a 1974 model--one year before our American cousins could buy it. In its initial form, the Pinto body had a broad bright grille with small squares. Rectangular parking lights were located in each end of the grille. Above the grille was the Mercury name spelled in block letters.
The name also appeared across the back. Tail-lights were something like Pinto's but double length.
Bobcat's motors were the same as Pinto's. A 122-cid 80 hp four was standard, and 136 cid option provided 88 hp.
Also like Pinto, the Bobcat came in three body styles: 2-door sedan, 3-door hatchback, and 2-door station wagon. A Villager option for the wagon added simulated woodgraining on the sides and back.
The Bobcat's price range was $2874 to $3157, which was about $200 more than Pinto.
Practically 10,000 Mercury Bobcats were sold in calendar 1974. That was about half the number of Pintos sold, which was quite good considering the Pinto was already well known and firmly established in the marketplace.
Despite its popularity, Ford of Canada handed Bobcat production over to its American parent. Their first Bobcat--the 1975 model--had a different frontal appearance, which bore some resemblance to other Mercury models. It was imported by Ford of Canada, under terms of the Canada-U.S. Auto Pact.
However, Canadians were not so fond of the American Bobcat. Sales tumbled 30% in 1975.
Despite the one-year life of the 1974 Canadian Bobcat, it did not die immediately. The 1976 Pinto copied its front end styling.
Some Grand Marquis were made in Mexico from 1991 to 1995. Otherwise, Ford of Canada has produced all Mercury Grand Marquis in its St. Thomas Assembly Plant since 1984.
Generally, Fords built in Canada mirrored their American counterparts. At times, a body type may have been omitted from Canadian production, but still offered in limited numbers as an import.
However, there was one was one leading deviation by postwar Canadian Fords from the U.S. pattern. That concerned all the 1954 Fords. It was for that year that Ford United States discarded the old flat-head V-8 to introduce the new more powerful ohv V-8.
