1954 Mercury Monterey 2DR Hardtop. Restored approx. 8 years ago and still in great condition. Recent work includes; rebuilt original Y-Block 256V8 engine (1st year - finished in its correct colors), rebuilt original tea-cup design 4BRL carburetor, reconditioned original Merc-O-Matic transmission, rebuilt duel-stage fuel pump, rebuilt water and oil pumps, rebuilt generator, reconditioned radiator, new gas tank, new shocks and new tires, new heater motor, electronic points. It has been professionally converted to a 12V system to allow for A/C. All that's left is to drive it. And its a wonderful car to drive. Straight and true. The car brakes the same as it drives. It cruises at highway speeds with ease. The body is all steel with no rust or patch panels anywhere. The chassis is solid and clean. It has duel exhaust and a wonderful low rumble like a fifties car should sound. The interior is in excellent condition. No stains on the headliner. No worn areas on the seats or door panels. The paint is in very good condition. The chrome does have light scratches but there in no pitting anywhere. The original radio or clock has not been converted to 12V. All the gauges and lights work. The owners manual, service manual and jack are included. It has seatbelts front and rear. I have put thousands more into this car above the reserve but I just bought my 1st car - a 1951 Ford - so this one must go. You will not be disappointed with this car. The rebuilt engine has approx. 500 miles on it. Click on the Zoom to see larger photos. New feature from EBAY.
The vehicle should be assumed to have some degree of
wear. It is for this reason the vehicle is sold "AS IS" and there are
no mechanical guarantees expressed or implied. But what we have stated
above is true. |

Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
Curtain officially comes down on Mercury as dealers remove signage
Mon, 03 Jan 2011The process of shutting down the Mercury is complete. Ford officially made the decision to close its mid-level brand in June of 2010. In the months that followed, Ford offered its dealers money to stop selling the cars, with production shutting down in September. The last Mercury, a Mariner, rolled off the assembly line in the beginning of October and former spokesperson Jill Wagner said her good-byes to both the car and her job. Now the last piece of the brand has come down as dealers are removing any and all Mercury signage from their lots.

NHTSA investigating 725k Ford, Mercury vehicles for stalling issue
Mon, 25 Feb 2013Owners of Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan models, listen up. According to a report on Automotive News, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into these four vehicles totaling an estimated 725,000 units. The investigation appears to center around a malfunctioning throttle body on non-hybrid models of the 2005-2012 Escape and 2011-2012 Fusion. With Mercury dying off after the 2011 model year, this probe will also apply to the 2005 through 2011 Mariner and the 2011 Milan. There has been some discussion around the Escape stalling issue for some time now, but this investigation appears to be larger in scope than before.
Though not a recall yet, NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received 123 complaints of stalling or surging vehicles, while Ford itself has logged 1,472 complaints. The investigation report, which is posted below, seems to indicate that a faulty circuit board for the throttle body could cause the vehicle to go into limp mode, which, according to NHTSA, could cause complaints of both stalling and surging.
