Incredibly Rare 1954 Mercury Monterey Convertible
New to our Benicia showroom is this outstanding, fully restored
1954 Mercury Monterey 2 Door Convertible with Siren Red exterior
paint and a matching red vinyl interior. You'll find a factory
correct 256 cid V-8 engine under the hood with a Holley 4bbl
carburetor and the matching automatic transmission. This rare
classic comes equipped with factory electric windows, a working
original radio and clock, the Continental Kit with an additional
spare tire (6 total), original manuals and so much more. The
odometer reads a mere 83,009 miles...which the current owner
believes could possibly be lifetime mileage.
This 1954 Mercury Monterey Roadster is VIN # 54LA14514M. The body
specs on the driver's door columns show that the style is a "BR76B
Monterey Convertible" with production numbers "21-477-5A-41". That
translates to being manufactured in Los Angeles, CA on January 5th,
1954 (the 41stoff the line that day). The factory correct color is
Siren Red with a red/black interior. This was also the 4,513thof
7,293 convertibles to be produced that year with the desirable
overhead valve Y-block 256 engine.
Painstakingly Restored Back to Bone-Stock Specifications
This 1954 Mercury Monterey 2 Door Convertible underwent an
extensive restoration effort back in the summer of 2003 restoring
this glorious classic back to factory-true condition both inside
and out. From a flawless body with show quality paint, sensational
chrome work and virtually perfect trim, this is easily the most
impressive example we've ever come across. The interior is even
more impressive with all original working equipment that appears to
have just pulled off the factory showroom floor. The attention to
detail is incredible and you will not find a more pristine model
anywhere on the open market.
Additionally, this 1954 Mercury Monterey 2 Door Convertible has
been enjoyed by 5 different lifetime owners, the most recent of
which took possession back in 2016. Although it's been 16 years
since this classic roadster was fully restored, it's only been
driven a total of 500 miles since that time and it could still pass
for like-new condition throughout. The performance is also
impressive on the open road with nice acceleration and a great
overall feel. This classic could be driven virtually anywhere
tomorrow and it would be a smooth, enjoyable ride the entire
way.
Possibly the Most Pristine Example Anywhere Nationwide
Overall, this incredibly rare 1954 Mercury Monterey 2 Door
Convertible borders on museum quality with all the provenance you'd
look for in an investment grade example. Given the low number of
survivors still in existence and the rare factory options found on
this prestigious classic, this '54 Merc will be the discovery of a
lifetime for one lucky collector. Come see it today before it's
gone- it won't last long!
