The Mercury Messenger is a concept car manufactured by Mercury in collaboration with coachbuilder Stola and revealed at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, Michigan, named after the Roman messenger god from whom Mercury gets its name. Designed by Gerry McGovern, it was meant to signal the new design direction of future Mercury models, and journalists noted similarities to past Ford and Mercury models such as the Ford Cougar II concept and the Mercury Cougar. It was intended to be powered by a 4.6 liter Modular DOHC V8 mated to a six-speed automatic sequential transmission, with independent rear suspension, four-piston Brembo brake discs and 20 inch front wheels. In 2010 the Messenger was sold at an RM Sotheby's auction for 52,250 dollars with no engine or transmission, which had reportedly never been installed, and as of 2023 it was owned by the Bortz Auto Collection and displayed at the Petersen Automotive Museum.
