If you were flush for cash back in the 50s, you sure were spoilt for choice; visiting your local dealer was a treat as you gazed upon the golden era of the American automotive scene. While the Chevrolet of the time was the name of the game when it came to luxury motoring, the adventurous car buyer could opt for something you wouldn't see too often and drive off in a car like this 1953 Mercury Monterey we have today. Built to stand out, this classic American machine aims to turn heads and represent a time gone by.
The smooth and iconic 50s design of this 1953 Mercury Monterey is brought to life with an iconic Metallic Cherry Pearl exterior. The body is in excellent shape, with this 50s beauty sporting all its factory chrome components; the smooth body lines transition into a set of 1959 Dodge Lancer hubcaps that are wrapped with white wall tires for added effect. The unique exterior color is matched with a lovely Maroon and Bone interior on this 1953 Mercury Monterey; The maroon vinyl interior is a beautiful mix of factory and subtle upgrades. The bench seats are redesigned to accommodate cup holders up front. The dashboard of this American classic is also a work of art and features a mix of aftermarket gauges that monitors performance and nickel components.
In the automotive world, the word "sleeper" refers to a car that's unassuming on the surface but sports a whole lot of performance underneath its hood. This 1953 Mercury Monterey is the definition of a sleeper; pop open the hood, and what you will find instead of a lumpy V8 motor from the 50s is a performance-oriented 351ci Windsor V8 waiting to let loose. While the upgraded motor is enough for a good time, the current owner reports a few upgrades, which include Holman Moody crank rods, T2 Truck heads, MSD ignition for better power delivery and custom Holman Moody valve covers, upgraded air filter housing and chrome components for design aesthetics. To ensure better handling, the upgraded power is met with a Rebuilt suspension, V8 Maverick rear end, and F100 pick-up power steering and brakes. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a manual transmission and a reported C4 shift kit for more efficient gear shifts.
Mercury was one of those brands under the Ford umbrella in the United States. Positioned in the mid-range segment, the brand bid adieu to the world in 2011. Over their 85-year existence, Mercury has made some lovely classic cars that are highly desirable today. This 1950 Mercury Coupe is one such example. It reportedly underwent a restoration in 2011 and has 50,000 miles to its name. It's also a restomod of sorts, as it's got a newer engine and some creature comforts.
The 70s was a dark time in the American automotive industry; the large American machines were soon to be axed off their production lines for smaller, efficient motoring; this was all due to the impending oil crisis. With smaller efficient imports taking control of the market, the 1970 Mercury Monterey Convertible we have today perfectly represents the last living giants.

Mercury is an American automaker that has long since been mothballed. But the storied brand has been pivotal in the development of America's automotive landscape. The brand was sat between Ford's mainstream lineup and the more luxurious offerings of Lincoln, while the Town Sedan was a medium-priced entrant to the lineup. It was the mid-market family car of its day, and offered a four door sedan in a conventional yet timeless design. Our featured car has reportedly been meticulously restored and features a host of new components that should ensure trouble-free running for many more years to come. This 1939 Mercury Town Sedan features a 350 cubic inch V8 engine, an automatic transmission, and a reported 55,000 miles on the odometer.
It is often said that life was better in the ʼ80s. Music, clothes, and of course, cars. This 1989 Mercedes 560SL is a car that could take you through time. Kept in pristine condition, this car is ready to stretch its legs having covered a reported 53,208 miles in its 36-year life. With the name having been around for 70 years, it's safe to assume that Mercedes knows what they’re doing.
As the latest vehicles give you the utmost convenience and performance that you can imagine, classic cars continue to fill our hearts with nostalgia and a driving experience to remember. This 1965 Buick Special is one such example that takes you back to the ʼ60s when roads were filled with art on wheels. When it comes to vintage cars like this, it is difficult to find an example that is untouched. One of the main highlights of this Buick is that according to its current owner, it is all original. With memories worth 105,000 miles, this classic is now residing in Albany, New York. There is no doubt that this beauty will be a perfect Sunday cruiser and an attention grabber at classic car events.
Ford’s third generation Mustang was introduced in 1979, and quickly became known as the Fox Body, due to it sitting on Ford’s Fox platform. Designed by Jack Telnack, the third generation came as a coupe, convertible and hatchback. Thankfully, it retained the rear-wheel drive layout, despite Ford considering making it front-wheel drive during its early development days. While the Fox Body wasn’t immediately a hit, it’s considered a nice modern classic ʼStang these days. If you’re a Fox Body fan or eager to see what the Fox is like, here’s a nice 1985 Ford Mustang GT for sale. The car has seen plenty of work to make it better than factory, and comes with just 2,000 miles on the clock after a comprehensive overhaul that includes its interior, exterior, and mechanical bits.
