Vintage 1954 Mercury Monterey Classic Hardtop RUNNING & DRIVING GREAT; GD LOOKS

Mercury Monterey 1954 Description

THIS IS A GREAT RUNNING AND DRIVING CAR. POWER STEERING; AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. DRIVES AS SMOOTH AT 70 MPH AS ANY CAR ON THE ROAD. THE HEATER AND VENT CONTROLS ARE LEVERS PLACED ON A PLANE PERPENDICULAR TO THE DASH BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL, FOR THIS MODEL. THE TIRES ARE GOOD WITH WIDE WHITE WALLS. IT HAS SOME FLAWS; THERE ARE SOME NICKS IN THE PAINT ON THE DOORS; THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT IS WORN BADLY, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE CLEAR SEAT COVERS OVER FRONT AND BACK SEATS. THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK; NOT SURE WHY, THE ASH TRAY HAS A BAD SPOT ON IT; THERE IS A SMALL DENT ON THE TOP OF THE DRIVERS SIDE FENDER; THE CHROME IS VERY GOOD WITH A LITTLE SURFACE PITTING ON THE BACK BUMPER. THE INTERIOR IS OK BUT COULD USE SOME WORK ON THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND ARM REST ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE TOP LOOKS REALLY GOOD, THE CAR CAME FROM A COUPLE THAT LIVED IN MASSACHUSETTS AND MOVED TO TENNESSEE SEVERAL YEAR AGO. BEEN GARAGE KEPT, MILEAGE IS SAID TO BE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT AT 54,946 MILES. HAS NEW PLUGS AND PLUG WIRES CARBURETOR REBUILT AND NEW GLASS FUEL BOWL PUT ON, THE OTHER HAD A CRACKED SEAL. PROBABLY NEEDS WAXING BUT SHINES PRETTY WELL. THERE ARE FENDER SKIRTS IN THE TRUNK, BUT THE GREEN DOES NOT MATCH THE CAR'S COLOR, MUST HAVE BEEN BOUGHT LATER. STARTS RIGHT UP EVEN IN THE COLD; BUT TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO GET WARMED UP. HAS CLEAR TENNESSEE TITLE. THANKS FOR LOOKING.
