1950 MERCURY MONTEREY MODEL 72C




I am pleased to offer this beautiful 57000 mile 1950 Mercury Monterey Coupe. The Monterey was introduced in mid-1950 as a high end two door coupe in order to compete with GM’s hardtops. Some of the special Monterey features include leather faced seats, simulated leather headliner, wool carpets, chrome plated garnish moldings, special black steering wheel, fender skirts, dual outside mirrors, full wheel covers and gold winged hood ornament. Several color combinations were offered including Cortaro Red Metallic which this car is in. Few Monterey’s were sold. Although this Monterey is not a concours car it is close and very complete. The interior appears to be totally original, however the headliner is deteriorated especially above the drivers sun visor. The carpet is worn in spots but again it is original. The rear ashtrays are a work of art. Please see pictures. The dash and steering wheel are nearly mint. Outside you will find that it has been refinished in the original color with a perfect vinyl top. All of the stainless trim is present and for the most part in superb condition. There is no rust on this Monterey nor could I find any previous accident damage repairs. I have run a credit card style magnet along the entire bottom of both sides and could not detect any filler. The undercarriage is original. Under the hood you will find the venerable 255 cubic inch Merc flathead. This car starts easily and drives smoothly with lots of power. The trunk is beautiful and complete with wide white spare and jack assembly. There are extra fan belts and the battery hold down which does not fit the current battery. Overall this is a gorgeous Mercury and could be used and maintained to satisfy most everyone. It is also the perfect Mercury to modify into a lead sled or a “Rebel Without A Cause” – James Dean car. In my opinion the 1950 Mercury is the epitome of this generation of cars and I would far prefer it to remain in its current condition perhaps only replacing the headliner at some time. As always if you have any questions simply call or email. Thanks for looking.

Jill Wagner retired as Mercury spokeswoman

Wed, 17 Nov 2010

Jill Wagner has officially given up her crown as the queen of Mercury. With the Ford middle child on its way to the scrap heap, Wagner no longer has any automotive hardware to promote. Given her varied talents, we wouldn't be surprised to see her pick up where she left off with another automaker.
And here you thought you'd never be upset about Mercury's passing.
Thanks for the tip, Gregg!

Ford recalling 370,000 Crown Vic, Grand Marquis and Town Car models

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

The Detroit News is reporting that Ford will recall some 370,000 Crown Victoria (pictured), Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car vehicles from model years 2005 through 2011, for an issue regarding the lower intermediate steering shaft. 355,000 of the vehicles in question were sold in the US, with the other 15,000 sold in Canada.
The report indicates that corrosion of the lower intermediate steering shaft could cause a "loss of steering," presumably because of a partial or complete failure of the part. The report points out the dealers will inspect and replace the offending steering component for recalled cars, and may also secure a lower steering column bearing and replace the upper intermediate steering shaft as needed. The company is unaware of any reports of the faulty part causing any accidents or injuries.
Ford helpfully lists states in which corrosion is more likely to have taken place, mostly in the Snow Belt, as you might guess. Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Wisconsin, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia are listed.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When 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.
