Vehicle Description
1950 Mercury Monterey 2- Door Coupe! Very solid, all original, 1
Owner, garage kept To understand the care that was taken just look
at the rows of oil change stickers in the door jamb! I have been
trying to purchase this beauty for 40 years or more. I purchased it
from a 96 year old friend of mine who purchased it new in Augusta
Georgia in either June or July 1950. He said he paid either $5 or
$10 less that $2,500 for the car new. He went on his honeymoon in
it with his bride in 1951. I removed the car from the garage where
it has lived for more than 50 years. He added the bumper guards,
the dual spot lights, the fog lights, the chrome gas filler door,
the curb feelers, the headers and the 51 fender skirts with some
kind of Buick molding on the skirts. This amazing car has its
original black and yellow leather interior that needs a little
attention. The dash is gorgeous and has its original push button
radio and accessory steering wheel. The headliner and door panels
are almost perfect. The yellow vinyl top was replaced one time
about 40 years ago however the stitching in the seams is
separating. It still has the original spare tire in the trunk, it
has been used but it is still the original spare tire. The original
owners manual is still in the glove box. The paint is the original
paint that Henry Ford had painted on it in 1950. There is a small
crease and a couple of places on the lower side on the drivers
side. You will probably never find another all original,
un-restored one in your lifetime. The original engine purrs like a
kitten. About 20 or 25 years ago the owner had the underside of the
car detailed for a car show, and it still looks almost like new
underneath. Many of the photos still have the dust from where the
car had been sitting for many years. I just installed a set of wide
white wall tires on it. Please Note The Following **Vehicle
