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.

NHTSA will investigate some Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKZ models for power steering issue

Tue, 07 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening an investigation into the 2010-2012 Ford Fusion, Fusion Hybrid and Lincoln MKZ, the 2012 MKZ Hybrid and 2011 Mercury Milan because the agency has hundreds of complaints of electric power steering failure in these models.
According to NHTSA's data, it has received 508 complaints of the power steering allegedly suddenly malfunctioning and resulting in increased effort to turn the wheel. In four incidents, these failures resulted in loss of control and crashes. According to the reports, in some cases a power steering warning message came on as the fault occurred, and other times the system restored itself by turning off and then restarting the vehicle. NHTSA said it has also received further field report data from Ford, but that information hasn't been publicly released yet.
For the moment, there isn't a recall for this failure on these models. NHTSA is just investigating them to "assess the scope, frequency and safety consequences of the alleged defect," and the agency says an estimated 938,000 vehicles could potentially be affected.

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.

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!
