I can pretty much tell that for usre.  I have one and it is a darker blue and has chrome on the top.

I think the difference between the Grand Marquis and the Grand Marquis Ultra Lux is the top trim.  On one, it is painted (as in the picture above).  On the other, is is chrome.  I had the one with chrome trim, and I think it had an "Ultra Lux" decal on it.  I don't own it anymore, so I can't look to see for sure!

Here's the Marquis, which is the immediate predecessor the Grand Marquis in the photo above.  It's hard to describe its color.  Maybe a cross between mauve and tan? 

I honestly don't know what kind of stone it is.  But I have the same stone on two fireplaces, the house's exterior, flooring on the patio and garden room, a pond in the backyard, and the border for raised flower beds in the backyard.  It's everywhere!  My house is a classic mid-century ranch with 7,000 square feet.  It's a beast of a house!  LOL!

This house is massive.  It has five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a music room, a "grand dining room", a family dining room, an indoor pool, garden room, silver closet (in the kitchen), two Sub-Zero refrigerators, a climate controlled fur closet, and a five bay garage.  The 7,000 square feet is just the air conditioned space, but I think the total square footage is around 8500.  It is built at the base of a hill, so there's a "lower yard" and an "upper yard".  It originally sat on about 4 acres, which included a house for the maid and a house for the grounds keeper.  But when the original owner died, she willed those homes to her staff.  So I'm thinking there's about 3 acres left.  From what I've been told, the original owner's father-in-law was one of the founders of Conoco Oil Company, so the money that built this house was oil money.  Back in the day, she would invite people like Van Cliburn to play for a few select friends at an evening of music and drinks.  Dean Martin has been a guest here too.  The lady died about 15 years ago and the home was sold.  It went through a couple of owners and fell into disrepair.  About five years ago, the house was on the market again and the original owner's daughter bought it and donated to my church to be used as the parsonage.  She paid to have it refurbished and furnished and also pays for the utilities, repairs, maintenance, and upkeep (which includes a maid and lawn service!).  I would never be able to live in a house like this on my own or take care of it!!!
