1954 Mercury Monterey 2 door Hard top. Original V8 and 3 speed Over Drive car. California Car from 1954 to 2005 (41 years). Original California Black Plates are still on the car. Car has been in Oregon for the last 8 years, and that is where it is now. (The roads are not salted in California or Oregon, so our cars don't rust out.) This car has some minor body damage. (Lower right and left rear quarter panels). Please see pictures. It has surface rust, as can be seen in the exterior pictures. The Floor pans, fenders, quarter panels, doors, trunk pan are all very solid. Again those areas have some surface rust,that is easily repairable. Please see the pictures. The carpeting was removed to show how good the floors and trunk are. The frame is very nice. Again, a solid California Car. With great Patina.

My math is bad. The Mercury was in California from 1954 to 2005, and that is 51 years; not the 41 years I put in the original listing. Any way you look at it, this Mercury is 59 years old and looks great for it age. How many cars are in Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Ohio, New York, Illinois, etc.... that are 59 years old???? Virtually none... They all rusted out many years ago, and have become Campbell Soup cans. I hope you Rust Belt guys, take note and realize that this Mercury is a real treasure. It may be too cheap at $3750.00. You decide.....

Fitting Retirement: Grand Marquis last Mercury off the line
Wed, 05 Jan 2011The signs have come down and retail production ended back in October of 2010. Now, the very last Mercury model has rolled off the assembly line. This last Mercury somewhat fittingly takes the form of a Grand Marquis reporting for fleet duty. It was built at the St. Thomas plant in Ontario, Canada, which is the same facility that continues to produce the Ford Crown Victoria and Lincoln Town Car for fleet and livery duty.
St. Thomas' days are numbered, however, as the factory is slated to close on August 31. When it goes, the Panther platform is likely to follow. So long, and thanks for all the fish memories.

Ford announces bevy of recalls, 2 of which are recalls on recalls
Tue, 04 Nov 2014
Ford has announced five separate recalls, affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
It's not been a great couple of weeks for Ford. On October 30, the company announced a 205,000-unit recall, and yesterday, it was revealed that the Ford brand's year-over-year sales were down over 5,000 units while the company itself was down 3,000 units over through October. Now, the company has announced five separate recalls affecting 202,000 vehicles built between 2005 and 2014.
Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes
Thu, 10 May 2012When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.
