1956 Mercury Montclair Hardtop Coupe

  • Chassis Number: 56LA35957M
The 1955 Mercury lineup was freshly restyled with a longer, lower-styling theme. The top-of-the-line model was the Montclair which featured a powerful and modern overhead-valve V-8 engine, two-tone paint treatments, and a plethora of standard and optional amenities.

This Montclair Sport Coupe has just 2,387 miles since the completion of its frame-off restoration. The car is finished in Carousel Red and Classic White. The car is fitted with many options and accessories, including power steering, brakes, windows, and seat, as well as a radio, clock, and rear window defogger. It also has stainless rocker panel moldings, rear stone guards, and fender 'skirts.'

The engine is an overhead valve V-8 unit fitted with a single four-barrel carburetor and offers 235 horsepower. There is a three-speed Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission and four-wheel power-assisted hydraulic drum brakes.
