Rareand#44; beautifuland#44; and from a very interesting yearand#44; this 1960 Mercury Monterey convertible is the perfect way to look like a million bucks while only spending a fraction of that. This was a year of distinction at Mercury. They had created a handsome design that wasnt too outrageous but also did not look like a dressed up Ford. It was the perfect balance that is as stylish as a well-fitting suit. And this Monterey looks like its truly ready for its black tie affairand#44; dressed in nothing but a sleek blackand#44; whitewallsand#44; and plenty of chrome. It starts up front in a sophisticated presentation where the headlights almost look like they are floating in the waterfall grille. Along the sideand#44; there is an unbroken trim line that follows the kick up for the nicely integrated tailfin. In the backand#44; the taillight surround provides the perfect design balance between the upper trim and the mirror-like chrome bumper. This is truly a class act. But one of the most amazing feats of this whole vehicle is arguably the roofline. With its large back window and sweeping c-pillarand#44; it looks like a Lincoln hardtop when the power folding soft top is in place. That really tells you the level of style that went into a Mercury. The interior looks like a tuxedo. Black and white alternate and weave within each other to create a very sophisticated presentation. It has an overall appearance of authenticityand#44; which will just help draw even more attention if you park this one with the top down. As a full-size convertibleand#44; youll always be ready to take family and friends for a Sunday cruise. But this classic is also fun when its just the driver. When you sit downand#44; youre immediately reminded of what classic luxury feels like. The chrome on the steering wheel coordinates with the intricate presentation of the dashand#44; and the wide speedometer dominates your view. This Mercury has been free from add-on or gimmicks so farand#44; and so you will be glad to see that continue under the hood. The V8 is believed to be the correct 312 cubic-inch motor from the era. Its presentation is quite nice with the big blue air grabber that still has the correct stickersand#44; and the M logo valve covers are that perfect 60s cool. This is a well maintained powerhouseand#44; and so the V8 fires up nicely and idles like a smooth Mercury should. The same effortlessness can describe the ride and its overall demeanor on the road. But anytime you want a hint of the wild sideand#44; the control of the column-mounted three-speed manualand#44; and the dual exhaust will allow you to let this Montereys hair down in an instant. We know you havent seen many like this. After alland#44; Mercury only produced 6and#44;062 examplesand#44; and that was well over half a century ago. So you know its special when you find a classic like this that comes complete with title docsand#44; owners manualand#44; maintenance recordsand#44; and even a wiring diagram. So dont let this rare opportunity pass you by. Call today!! |
