Mercury Monterey

Mercury Monterey

The Mercury Monterey Coupe was forever immortalized in 1949 by James Dean in ‘Rebel without a Cause’ and then the following year was chosen as the official Pace Car for the Indianapolis 500, and with good reason – big, imposing and expensive and a standout amongst 1950’s American cars for both exceptional and unique styling and sound engineering and performance, coupled with solid construction and a high quality fit and finish, the Mercury Monterey was a top-of-the-line sub-series in 1952 before becoming a line of its own for 1953-54. Ford’s flathead V8 continued until 1954 with the company’s introduction of the all new 292 ‘Y’ block overhead valve V8 with a five-main-bearing crankshaft and a standard 4 barrel carburetor, also to be used in the Ford Thunderbird. The Monterey was available as a convertible, sedan, a pillar-less coupe and station wagon.

Introduced by Lincoln some years earlier was the striking image of a visible rear spare wheel resting on the trunk lid and extended bumpers, otherwise known as the optional “Continental kit”. This option was welcome since it refined the look of the Mercury without overbearing its classic lines which until 1956 deliberately ignored the fifties fashion for fins, making it a very unique looking car for its era.
