I am getting a burning rubber smell on a 91 Mercury Grand Marquis. The
serpentine belt is fairly new, tensioned and looks OK. Trying to think
where else to be looking.
 
On CL for another vehicle 😜😂

NO WAY! Was a sad day when FoMoCo killed the Panther platform. I've got hundreds of skidpad laps in old police Crown Vickies. Pretty much all of
them with a big smile on my face...

Sometimes the plastic wheel well liners and undertrays can come loose and rub on stuff, or fall on hot exhaust parts.

You sure it is rubber and not something electrical getting hot?

Does it happen while being a towed or when driven?

Check the exhaust system front to back. You might have picked up a plastic
bag on the freeway and you only smell it melting once the exhaust gets hot
enough.
