Mercury, one of Ford’s key divisions, occupied the sweet spot between Ford’s mainstream appeal and Lincoln’s luxury prestige. Established in 1938, the marque earned a loyal following before being discontinued in 2011. For many, Mercury cars evoke fond memories—particularly from the Fifties through the Seventies. Among its notable models, the Montclair stood out as a full-size offering, produced initially from 1955 to 1960 and revived from 1964 to 1968. Across five generations—some lasting as little as one model year—the Montclair exemplified the style and comfort of mid-century American motoring. This 1966 Mercury Montclair Hardtop, part of the fifth and final generation, represents the era’s take on entry-level luxury for the family. Showing just 19,000 miles, this Florence-based classic is ideal for seasoned collectors and first-time enthusiasts alike.
Exterior and Interior
This example showcases a bold red body complemented by a white roof—an eye-catching contrast that was popular in the Sixties for mimicking a convertible profile. Chrome bumpers, white-striped tires, gleaming hubcaps, and extended body lines add to its larger-than-life presence—a hallmark of the full-size American car era. Inside, the Montclair offers generous space and classic Sixties flair. Thanks to the pillarless hardtop design, all four power windows can be lowered for a breezy, open-air ride. The white vinyl seats contrast elegantly with the black dashboard and chrome trim, enhancing its vintage appeal. Features include power windows, cruise control, a push-button AM radio, and a column-mounted gear shifter—all contributing to that unmistakable classic car ambiance. The trunk is in respectable shape, though it could benefit from a custom-fitted mat, which is an easy fix.
Engine
Under the hood lies a 390ci V8—the smallest available engine for this generation. While larger, thirstier options existed, this setup offers a great balance of performance and drivability. It’s equipped with an Edelbrock intake manifold and carburetor for improved response, and mated to a smooth-shifting MX-Drive 3-speed automatic transmission. As expected, power is sent to the rear wheels, staying true to classic American performance roots.
