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.
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.
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.

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.
Now here’s an interesting little Ford roadster for you open-topped driving fans out there. Built in Broadmeadows in Melbourne, Australia, the Mercury Capri’s third generation was sold between 1991 and 1994. Mercury, a division of Ford, wanted to create something to rival the Toyota MR2 and Mazda MX-5 Miata. The third-generation Capri was the result, and we’ve got one here today. Say hello to this 40,090-mile 1991 Mercury Capri XR2 Turbo from Louisville, Kentucky. With its fizzy turbocharged engine and manual gearbox, it’s quite an interesting proposition to add to your garage.
Hang on…isn’t Capri a Ford model? Well, yes that was the case in many markets outside the United States. But back home in Detroit, Ford had several sub-brands. Mercury was one of them, and in 1970, Capri was too. Initially, it was what was called a captive import that was imported from Ford of Europe and sold merely as a Capri. No Ford or any other parent branding was borne on the car. In 1979, things changed for the second generation of the American Capri. Capri was now a model under Ford’s Mercury division and based on the famous Fox platform. So, it was basically like a Fox Body Mustang with different styling. This generation was made as the Mercury Capri between 1979 and 1986. Today, we’ve got one of these curios in the shape of a Connecticut-residing 1985 Mercury Capri Grand Sport. This 26,000-mile car is up for sale and comes with some neat performance enhancements. We’re told that the car features its original body and paint, and even includes the original booklets with the sale.
The R129-generation 300SL marked Mercedes-Benz’s modern reinvention of the SL as a safety-focused, high-speed grand tourer rather than a raw sports car. Engineered with exceptional structural rigidity and advanced safety systems for its time, it delivered a refined open-top driving experience that emphasized comfort, stability, and long-distance usability. With over 62,000 miles, this example reflects regular use consistent with the model’s intended purpose as a capable touring roadster, while the naturally aspirated M103 inline-six continues to provide smooth, linear power delivery suited to relaxed yet confident cruising.
Traditionally, the BMW 6-Series was the Bavarian automaker’s finest luxury two-door model before the flagship 7-Series full-size luxury sedan. That all changed in the 1990s when the 8-Series came to be, but even now, you can buy a 6-Series grand tourer. So let’s check out a fine example of the first generation, that ran between 1976 and 1989. This 1987 BMW 635CSi is up for sale in Davenport, Florida, and if you want to know how great it is to drive, consider its 179,000 mile odometer reading a true testament to its excellence. Don’t worry if it seems a little leggy by number; these BMWs are built solidly, and with requisite maintenance, can keep going. And it just takes one look at our photos so see that this car has received some pretty good care.
