In today’s society, the type of car you drive can say a lot about your personality and style from sleek sports cars to vintage classics.
Ukiah High 11th grader Parker Mitchell drives a sand-beige 1987 Ford Mercury Grand Marquis, a rear wheel drive sedan with what he described as a spacious, comfortable interior with a full frame and a loud 302 V8 engine.
The production of the Ford Grand Marquis lasted for 36 years, from 1975 to 2011. Considered a classic American car by enthusiasts, the Grand Marquis is celebrated for its timeless design and its record-breaking reliability.
Parker’s car came straight to my attention because of its past ownership.
Not only is the Grand Marquis a great car, but Mitchell’s whip has a super-unique history. He told us it was once owned by famous Hollywood actor Jason Lee well-known for his portrayal of the dad in Alvin and the Chipmunks and his role in My Name is Earl.
Mitchell saw the vehicle for sale online the summer before last and bought it from the famous Hollywood actor in Los Angeles.
Parker Mitchell’s 1987 Ford Mercury Grand Marquis isn’t just a classic—it’s got Hollywood history. With its cool backstory and vintage vibe, it perfectly matches Mitchell’s style and love for standout rides.
Peyton Jennings-Swett
Peyton is very interesting. On the outside, it seems ordinary but when you get to know him he has many things that motivate him. he loves playing disc golf and hanging out with the love of his life and can't see himself living without her. He should model in his free time, but he spends it in the water playing water polo instead. He is a very compassionate individual and cares for everyone around him before himself. He loves his cats a lot: "meow". He loves pasta and he's from Virginia, which adds to the interesting element of this big guy.
