Older Fords can present many interesting challenges. When my '97 Taurus got stuck in park, my boyfriend manipulated the wires between the steering (multifunction) column and it was able to come out of park. As he recommended, I went to my local car repair and had them replace the "shift cable" and that fixed the problem. Evidently there was a break in one of the wires of this cable. A Virginia Driver.
