Description:    This Beautiful 1955 Mercury Monterey comes from the late Bob Wehe Collection Estate. The Monterey was introduced in 1950 of the Mercury Eight series. The car was designed to compete head-to-head with GM’s hardtop coupes which had taken the automotive world by storm. The pillarless design, known simply as a hardtop, gave the appearance of a convertible with all the advantages of a fixed roof. This gorgeous 1955 is a classic example of what the 50’s was all about. The white body and a hard top give the classic 50’s look and the chrome trim absolutely scream Americana. Add to this the Coker wide white wall tires with two rears being concealed by a set of fender skirts finishing off the period correct exterior. Pop the hood and you will find a very detailed engine compartment with a 292 V8. With the chrome breather and valve covers are painted the factory color. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, but the mechanical side of this Mercury Monterey is also in great condition. With a simple turn of the key the V8 comes to life and settles down to a smooth idle in no time. Backed up by the classic cruise-o0matic transmission driving this beauty is pure pleasure and shifts through all 3 gears without a hitch. In drive the car will start out in second gear. If low gear is needed, stop, put the shift selector in L, and then resume driving. Low gear should only be used at low speeds. Open the door and the bench seat is very inviting with the vinyl matching the exterior as well. The huge steering wheel looks great and is sure to remind you of when and where this car comes from. Options on this 1955 Mercury Monterey include dual rear-view mirrors, heat, am radio, power brakes, power steering, vinal interior, wide white wall tires and hub caps. This 1955 Mercury Monterey has been in collection for years and now available. It also has a 2 bbl carb, continental kit, 2 spare tires, trunk mat, fender skirts
