1953 Mercury Monterey Sport Coupe
The Mercury Monterey, built by the Mercury division of Ford was considered as a full size near luxury car back in the olden days. Interestingly, this 1953 Mercury Monterey Sport Coupe belongs to the debuting generation of Monterey models, which are also the flagship model for the Mercury line. This car's styling was largely carried over from other Ford models including Ford's Lincoln line. Therefore, the Monterey became the car for those who wished for something more exquisite than a Ford but didn’t want to pay the Lincoln’s price. Today this 1953 Mercury Monterey Sport Coupe is an unmistakable collector car. Its motor have underwent a rebuilt and it only has 15,000 miles on this new build. Don't pass on this opportunity as you will hardly locate a first-generation Monterey in such great shape.
Atop, the roof of this 1953 Mercury Monterey Sport Coupe possesses a gracefully curved rear glass. This Cream color roof smoothly slopes down at the back giving the car an aerodynamic look. This Cream roof together with the Bittersweet Orange color of the exterior makes up the two-tone exterior finish. Then there are the Chrome adorns to talk about. The double front bumper, the Lincoln inspired rear bumper, Chrome bars on the sides and the Mercury lettering around the car are just a few Chrome details this car flaunts. More Chrome fittings can be found in the beautiful Orange and white interior of this 1953 Mercury Monterey Sport Coupe. The Orange touches on the seats and door panels go with the exterior color while the contrasting Creamy white suits the color of its roof. The large three-spoke steering wheel featuring chrome accents and the big speedometer behind it takes us back to the ‘50s motoring experience. The plush bench seats can comfortably accommodate four adults.
At the heart of this stunning 1953 Mercury Monterey Sport Coupe is a rebuilt 255ci flathead V8 engine. This powertrain was good for about 125 horsepower and 211 lb-ft of torque out of the factory. You get a 3-speed manual transmission with overdrive to help you tackle its power to your liking. According to the seller, this engine has received a new camshaft, pistons, heads, crank, and intake.
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.
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.
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.
