Your gaskets are leaking and you are leaking antifreeze inside the manifold. Same thing happened to me on my silhouette and cutlass. The problem is the orange anti-freeze eats the gaskets. Will cost $2,000-to-$3,000 to fix. Sorry!

Why does the engine in your 1994 grand Marquis keep overheating?
I do not have a Grand Marquis so my engine does not overheat! Fords and Ford products tend to overheat and always have! Let's check a few things. How long has it been since you changed the thermostat and the coolant? Those two things are the most likely culprits. What is the condition of the hoses? Have those been changed in the last several years? If you have changed the hoses, the thermostat, and the coolant, and it still overheats, then it is time to take it to a radiator shop and have the radiator rodded out. ========================================================== I have been driving Ford models for over 40 years and have never had an engine overheat . Don't forget the basics , engine cooling system level etcetera . Check for a fan clutch problem , a problem with the water pump not circulating . Ford also states that if you exceed 60% antifreeze in the distilled water / antifreeze mix that it could overheat in hot weather

Which is the correct definition of the word silhouette?
a silhouette is a shadow or a void of an object or something. At the best it is more than a shadow, it is mastered by an artist skilled in hand-cutting portraits from viewing. At the worst, it is a tracing of a shadow, or a photo-shop. The word silhouette came from Augustin Edourt who changed the term "shades" which were often wall tracings, to silhouette after the authentic hand-cut profiles Etienne de Silhouette admired. silhouettesbycindi.com
