If you were flush for cash back in the 50s, you sure were spoilt for choice; visiting your local dealer was a treat as you gazed upon the golden era of the American automotive scene. While the Chevrolet of the time was the name of the game when it came to luxury motoring, the adventurous car buyer could opt for something you wouldn't see too often and drive off in a car like this 1953 Mercury Monterey we have today. Built to stand out, this classic American machine aims to turn heads and represent a time gone by.
The smooth and iconic 50s design of this 1953 Mercury Monterey is brought to life with an iconic Metallic Cherry Pearl exterior. The body is in excellent shape, with this 50s beauty sporting all its factory chrome components; the smooth body lines transition into a set of 1959 Dodge Lancer hubcaps that are wrapped with white wall tires for added effect. The unique exterior color is matched with a lovely Maroon and Bone interior on this 1953 Mercury Monterey; The maroon vinyl interior is a beautiful mix of factory and subtle upgrades. The bench seats are redesigned to accommodate cup holders up front. The dashboard of this American classic is also a work of art and features a mix of aftermarket gauges that monitors performance and nickel components.
In the automotive world, the word "sleeper" refers to a car that's unassuming on the surface but sports a whole lot of performance underneath its hood. This 1953 Mercury Monterey is the definition of a sleeper; pop open the hood, and what you will find instead of a lumpy V8 motor from the 50s is a performance-oriented 351ci Windsor V8 waiting to let loose. While the upgraded motor is enough for a good time, the current owner reports a few upgrades, which include Holman Moody crank rods, T2 Truck heads, MSD ignition for better power delivery and custom Holman Moody valve covers, upgraded air filter housing and chrome components for design aesthetics. To ensure better handling, the upgraded power is met with a Rebuilt suspension, V8 Maverick rear end, and F100 pick-up power steering and brakes. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a manual transmission and a reported C4 shift kit for more efficient gear shifts.
With its name derived from Monterey Bay, the same inspiration for the famous Monterey Jack cheese, the Mercury Monterey was a full-size automobile by Mercury that was available between 1952 and 1974. Mercury itself, the mid-tier luxury division of Ford sat between Ford and Lincoln, and, sadly, was retired in 2011. So, this is one of those classic American names from a defunct manufacturer. That only adds to the cachet of this 1953 Mercury Monterey. The fact that its maker is no more only adds more to the car’s value, as does its Flathead V8, auto gearbox and mere 1,700 miles. A discerning collector will have no hesitation in snapping up this car, while a budding collector should seriously consider acquiring it sans delay.
Mercury was one of those brands under the Ford umbrella in the United States. Positioned in the mid-range segment, the brand bid adieu to the world in 2011. Over their 85-year existence, Mercury has made some lovely classic cars that are highly desirable today. This 1950 Mercury Coupe is one such example. It reportedly underwent a restoration in 2011 and has 50,000 miles to its name. It's also a restomod of sorts, as it's got a newer engine and some creature comforts.
The 70s was a dark time in the American automotive industry; the large American machines were soon to be axed off their production lines for smaller, efficient motoring; this was all due to the impending oil crisis. With smaller efficient imports taking control of the market, the 1970 Mercury Monterey Convertible we have today perfectly represents the last living giants.

When discussing the classic car segment, one brand is often overlooked. The Mercury brand was designed by Ford to offer premium solutions that bridge the gap between Ford and Lincoln. One of their most loved models was the Mercury Comet that became a successful standalone model. It was one of the first mid-sized cars in history and was also dubbed the "senior compact". What we have brought to you here is a 1966 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible, a top-trim, often underrated muscle car.

Mercury was first introduced as a subsidiary division of the Ford Motor Company that bridged the gap between the affordable Ford models and the luxury Lincoln lineup. 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. If you are looking for a rare classic that will turn heads and spark conversation, this Cougar is for you.
The Sixties were awash with muscle cars, and the Barracuda by Plymouth was one of them.

Coming to you in a fetching yellow coat of paint with black performance hood, this car also features the Slap-Stik automatic gear shifter, a 360ci V8 with a dual-pump 4-barrel carb, and more.

Back To The Future Fans, rejoice! We’ve got a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 for sale today. Coming to you in all its resplendent stainless steel glory, this gullwing doored machine rocks just 4,548 miles on the clock! Introduced in 1981 and produced for just two years, the car was the brainchild of John Z. DeLorean. If the name is familiar, he’s one of the men responsible for the Pontiac GTO in the Sixties! DeLorean founded his own company in the early Eighties, asked renowned automotive designer Giorgetto Giugiaro to design the car’s exterior, and went into production.

This car currently resides in Parkland, Florida, and awaits a new owner.
