Overview of 1953 Mercury Monterey For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

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.

Engine

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.
