Mercury was Ford’s mid-tier division, intended to sit between mainstream Ford and luxurious Lincoln. Sadly, this brand is no more, as it bid goodbye to the world in 2011. One of their hits during the Fifties and Sixties was the Monterey range of full-sized automobiles. Named after Monterey Bay, the lineup included coupes, convertibles, hardtops, sedans, and station wagons. Today, we’ve got a classic 1951 Mercury Monterey Coupe for sale, with over 61,000 miles reported to its name and the original owner’s manual included with the sale. It’s a great classic car for those who want to sample ’50s motoring, as well as preserve a piece of American automotive heritage.
Exterior and Interior
This yellow 1951 Mercury Monterey Coupe comes with custom pinstriping by Von Dutch, and a host of rechromed parts to recapture its luster that it exuded in its heyday. That’s why the car looks fantastic, with its Fifties styling, externally-mounted spare wheel and cover, and faired-in rear wheels giving it a streamlined stance. The car also has chromed spot mirrors, which are a set of spot lights mounted on the rear-view mirrors that offer extra visibility when needed. The interior of this 1951 Mercury Monterey Coupe comes in light gray and features an AM radio. You’ve also got a tachometer with a shift light mounted on the steering column. Notably, this car comes with functional air conditioning, making it a real treat to drive even in the hottest of summers. We feel that it’s an acceptable aftermarket upgrade as it really enhances the drivability of a classic and gives you one less excuse to park it away in your garage. Anyways, once you start driving this car and people start appreciating it, you’ll want to drive it more and more. Such is the charisma of classic cars that the initial reluctance to take them out can quickly be put aside.

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.

When Mercury launched the Cougar model, it was supposed to provide a European-styled alternative to the Ford Mustang. It went on to become the only Mercury ever to win the “Motor Trend Car of the Year” title. The Cougar lineup saw eight generations, where the car transformed from a Pony car to a personal luxury coupe. This stunning example of the 1970 Mercury Cougar belongs to the final year of its first generation. It reportedly has 51322 miles on its clock and is currently located in Port Hueneme, California.
