Mercury Monterey 1963 Description

1963 Mercury Monterey Breezeway: The 1963 Mercury may have had its origins in Elwood Engel's Attaché, hich was a 1961 Lincoln design proposal. When company chiefs realized how good this design was, hey designated it for the '64 Ford and transferred the intended Ford design to the '63 Mercury. The configuration for these new Breeze­ways copied the 1958-60 Lincoln Continentals in that it used a reverse-slant backlight with a wide power-retracting center section. Also like the Lincolns, he base of each roof pillar was spruced up with a decorative ribbed panel terminating in a short chrome spear that trailed out onto the deck. A thick bright molding framed the rear window.The revival of the Breezeway was a product planning scheme to further separate Mercury from Ford when they still had the same inner-body panels and chassis frames. Ford's full-sized cars continued to use a Thunderbird-like roof with wide forward-leaning sail panels. A return to a concave grille and six round tail-lights (as in '61) were part of the bargain, ut bodysides got flatter than they had been for the previous two years. Bright strip moldings highlighted the upper body, rom the tips of the front fenders to the tiny outwardly canted tailfins. The topper -- quite literally -- was the return of the Breezeway roof for all full-sized sedans and hardtops.
