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.
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.

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.
Modeled straight after a concept car, Larry Shinoda’s Mako Shark III to be precise, the C3 or third-gen Corvette stunned America when it hit the stands in 1968. Here was a car that traded the C2’s dainty looks for something truly muscular and futuristic. No surprise, then, that a C3 Corvette is on many a petrolhead’s list of ultimate must-haves. Therefore, we can fulfill one person’s dream, by offering this 1971 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray for sale. With a reported 18,559 original miles, this car is truly a rare fish to catch.
With Jaguar Cars recently rebranding to mixed reactions from auto enthusiasts, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of their greatest hits from the past. One of these is the XJS grand tourer. Produced between 1975 and 1996, the XJS is widely regarded as one of the most iconic Jags ever made. Its flying buttresses and grunty V12 engine all make for a superb driving experience, and one heck of a weekend cruiser. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 1992 Jaguar XJS V12. The car has covered 94,231 miles so far, and has reportedly undergone some recent maintenance.
Chevy’s fourth generation Corvette ran between 1984 and 1996, and was responsible for a major shift in America’s favorite sports car’s persona. The Corvette gained new, angular styling, a digital-style dashboard, more power, and enhanced handling. Mercifully, the much-loved pop-up headlamps were retained. Then, a high-performance variant called the ZR1 was introduced in 1990. The ZR1 drew heavily from Britain’s Lotus sports car maker. Enhancements included a new LT5 V8 engine, larger brakes and sportier suspension tuning. This makes the fourth-generation ZR1 one of the most sought-after neo-classic Corvettes. Here’s a great example up for grabs right now, a 1991 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 with just 69,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a rebuilt engine, while all info is as reported by the current owner.
