Vehicle Description
If you're looking for an entry-level classic, then you'll be
hard-pressed to find one much better than a 1950s hot-rodded piece
of Detroit steel. This 1955 Mercury Montery checks all the boxes,
pairing a custom-cruiser style with a massive V8 under the hood.
Power is supplied by a monstrous 460 C.I. V8 breathing through a
4-barrel carburetor, meaning that this '55 Mercury won't hesitate
to torch its rear tires. Torque is stomped into the pavement
through an update 4-speed automatic transmission, which allows for
smooth cruising as it shifts seamlessly. The exterior Turquoise
paint is an older job, but it still looks sharp all around as it is
laid out over this Merc's laser-straight bodylines. Being a hot
rod, this Merc has had most of its exterior chrome trim stripped
away for an extra-bold, eye-catching appearance. Opening the twin
doors reveals a color-matched, stunningly original two-tone
"Turquoise & White" vinyl interior, complete with comfy bench seats
that are perfect for long-distance drives. Options on this
beautiful '55 Mercury include power steering, power brakes, dual
spotlights, a custom grille, an air-ride front suspension setup, a
tilt steering wheel, vent windows, an original AM pushbutton radio,
a wraparound front windshield, and a custom dual exhaust system.
The car rides on a sleek set of 14" Keystone Classics wheels over
blackwall tires for a look straight out of a 1950s "HOT ROD"
magazine article! This '55 Montery runs and drives down the highway
wonderfully, and those dual exhausts make it sound fantastic while
doing so. It's ready to go at the turn of a key, so don't let it
pass you by!
