Mercury Monterey
€ 37,900.-
Car-ID: XT1051Vehicle Description
Ford had introduced the Mercury make in 1939 to bridge the gap between their own-branded regular models and the much pricier Lincoln luxury vehicles. Until its discontinuation in 2011, it was part of the Lincoln-Mercury division. The Monterey was a full-size car first presented in 1952 and built over seven generations until 1974. All generations offered 4-door sedan, 2-door hardtop coupe and convertible variants, while station wagons and 4-door hardtops were not continously available.
To reduce costs, Montereys usually shared a platform with vehicles of the other makes, either with Lincoln, Edsel, or Ford. All Montereys – with the exception of fthe 5th generation, which also had a 6-cylinder option – came with V8 engines with capacities ranging from 4.2 litres in the earlier models to 7.5 litres later on. In 1958, the “Super Marauder” became available, making Mercury the first American production car manufacturer to offer engines with a power output of 400 hp, and substantiating the claim that it is something special to “Drive the ‘Big M'” (1950s advertising).
