The Montclair was an attractive vehicle with chrome trim, bright rocker trim panels, and a round medallion placed near the tip of the front fenders. The model name was placed in chrome script above the mid-body spear. The V8 engien had been enlarged to 292 cubic-inches and offered nearly 200 hosrepower with a standard dual exhaust system. There were around 11,000 buyers to purchased the Montclair Convertible in 1955.
