Vehicle Description
It's time to stop and take a serious look at a seriously rare 1966
Mercury Park Lane convertible in a seriously cool color
combination. And when you look under the hood to see serious 428
big block V8 power, and you notice the affordable price, you need
to seriously hurry up because someone else might grab this
exceptional deal.
How often have you seen a Mercury Park Lane convertible? We know
the answer is likely never because there were less than 2,600 of
these produced in 1966...That's it! Now over half a century later
how many of these classics do you think are remaining? This example
looks quite good as it balances its premium and sporty images. For
example, the factory-correct red makes a bold first impression, and
it has been updated later in life so that this sunshine-friendly
convertible still has a nice gloss on a Sunday drive. And if the
weather does turn wet, the white convertible top gives this one the
all-American appeal of a Coca-Cola bottle. The full-length side
trim showcases the straightness of the sheetmetal. Plus, its sporty
ribbed design matches the rear panel. There's all the right
brightwork, including a front bumper that's wide enough to own the
road, the factory wheel covers, and a rear bumper that makes up
half of the back end. So this Mercury is elegant, sporty,
coordinated, premium, imposing, and absolutely appealing - all in
the first glance.
While we like the way this one looks with the roof in place, with
the flip of a switch, it powers down to reveal an even more
impressive interior. After all, there's just something special
about a factory red-on-red convertible. There are premium touches,
like the wood paneling that runs along the door panels and below
the dash. When you slip behind the wheel, you get that great
feeling of upscale classic style with the thin dual-spoke factory
steering wheel that gives you a clear view of the bright gauge
panel. This one stays faithful to its original driver-oriented
layout with full round gauge panel and factory AM radio all
remaining in place. Still, there are going to be plenty of people
who want to go for a ride in this six-person convertible. So to
keep them entertained, there was a modern AM/FM/CD stereo with USB
and Bluetooth added under the dash for the best in upgraded driving
music.
The Q-code in the VIN means a big 428 cubic-inch V8 under the hood.
The engine bay looks amazingly authentic with the big blue block
and valve covers. But you'll also spot the right upgrades, like and
MSD coil and distributor. This kind of care means the motor fires
eagerly. The same V8 big block would make a few legendary Mustangs,
so it can still move this big convertible around with authority.
But you don't want this for a muscle car. Instead this premium Park
Lane has the unmistakable smooth-running nature you want in a
Mercury. With a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
power brakes, and a suspension that will keep you floating down the
road, this Mercury convertible is the perfect cruising
convertible.
This Mercury Park Lane convertible can't help by impress with its
presentation, power, and true rarity. So hurry up, because at this
value price, it's going to its new home soon. Call today!!!
