Gateway Classic Cars of Tampa is proud to offer this elegant 1953 Mercury Monterey. In 1953, there wasn't much happening in the styling and design departments of Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge. It was as if corporate designers were sitting in meeting rooms scratching their heads searching for new ideas. On the other hand, the '53 Mercury Monterey was a thing of beauty with its smooth lines and sophisticated trim. In a time when most car models were similar, nothing looked like the Monterey; it was .....
a true work of art. Although more of a twenty footer today, this '53 Merc had to be breathtaking when it rolled off the assembly line. The recipient of a recent tune up, electric fuel pump, and exhaust there's just nothing that sounds like a, "Flatty." Still highly original, this Monterey would be a great entry level classic car for the do it yourselfer. Its had some paint touch up here and there but when the sun hits it, this beauty still comes to life. There's tremendous potential with a little TLC to make this '53 Mercury something special once again. This 1953 Mercury Monterey is listed by our Tampa Showroom and can be viewed in greater detail including 100+ HD pictures and an HD video at www.GatewayClassicCars.com.
