Gateway Classic Cars of Louisville is proud to present this
beautiful 1955 Mercury Monterey. The Monterey was introduced in
1950 as part of the Mercury Eight series. The car was designed to
compete head to head with GM's hardtop coupes which had taken the
automotive world by storm. The pillarless design, known simply as a
hardtop, gave the appearance of a convertible with the all the
advantages of a fixed roof. This gorgeous �55 is a classic example
of what the 50's were all about. The Teal Body and White Hard Top
gives the classic 50's paint scheme and the chrome trim absolutely
screams Americana. Add to this the wide white wall tires with the
two rears being concealed by a set of fender skirts finishing off
the period correct exterior. Pop the hood and you will find a very
detailed engine compartment with a 292 V8. With the breather and
valve covers are painted the factory color. Not only is it
aesthetically pleasing, the mechanical side of this Mercury
Monterey in great condition. With A simple turn of the key the V8
comes to life and settles down to a smooth idle in no time. Backed
up by the classic Cruise-O-Matic transmission driving this beauty
is pure pleasure and shifts through all 3 gears without a hitch. In
drive the car will actually start out in 2nd gear. If low gear is
needed, stop, put the shift selector in L, and then resume driving.
Low gear should only be used at low speeds. Since the restoration,
there is a little over 6000 miles on this beauty. Open the door and
the front bench seat is very inviting with the vinyl matching the
exterior as well. The huge steering wheel looks great and is sure
to remind you of when and where this car came from. Options on this
1955 Mercury Monterey include; heat, am radio, power brakes, power
steering, vinyl interior, Wide White Wall Radial Tires and Hub
Caps. This 1955 Mercury Monterey is for sale in our Louisville
