In 1971 the Mercury full size model range underwent an exterior restyling, with the Monterey adopting design elements similar to the larger Lincoln Continental while retaining the roofline shared with Ford. Ford and Mercury introduced pillarless hardtops using frameless door glass, and vent windows were discontinued. The 351 Windsor and 400 Cleveland V8 engines were added for 1971, the final year for the 390. It was distinguished from the Ford by its own grille and taillamp styling.
