Featuring the groundbreaking overhead valve motor that gave Mercury an edge over Ford with larger displacement, this 1954 Mercury Monterey coupe wears a vibrant red paint job that accentuates its flowing bodywork. The bold red exterior matched with white accents creates a dynamic visual impact that plays off the car's elegant proportions. The front end shows off a distinctive grille and substantial bumpers that speak to the craftsmanship of the era. Along the sides, precisely applied body trim .....
adds definition to the profile, while 15" wheels with 7.10-15 tires on the front and 7.00-15 tires on the rear complete the classic American cruiser look.
The red and white vinyl interior continues the exterior color scheme, offering a spacious and welcoming cabin. Wide bench seats accommodate passengers in comfort, and the straightforward dash places all instruments and controls right where you need them. The column-mounted shifter maximizes interior room, contributing to the airy feel of this coupe. A well-crafted custom headliner tops off the cabin, while the carpets lie flat and clean throughout. The period-correct AM radio adds an authentic finishing touch to the carefully assembled interior.
The 256CI overhead valve V8 engine marked a significant advancement for Mercury when introduced in 1954. Coupled with a 3-speed manual transmission with electric overdrive, this mechanical combination provides a genuine driving experience. The engine compartment shows off a clean presentation with factory-appropriate green paint on the engine. The dual exhaust system produces a fitting sound for cruising, while the coil front suspension works with leaf springs in the rear for handling the road. Drum brakes provide stopping power when called upon.
