1954 Mercury Monterey XM-800 Concept Navigation
The one-of-a-kind XM-800 was conceived by Mercury's Pre-Production Studio, headed at the time by John Najjar and built by Creative Industries of Detroit in 1953. Intended targets were GM's Buick, Pontiac and Oldsmobile divisions. Despite rave reviews among the press and public, a strategic decision by Ford saw the creation of Edsel to fulfill this purpose, it incorporated an updated version of Mercury's overhead-valve, 312 CID, V8 named the Y-block. It introduced previously unseen styling cues in Ford products: fins, Frenched headlamps, canted windshield pillars and sail panels, clean sides with concealed wheels and a hint of emerging technologies in the fiberglass body and fully chrome-plated fiberglass bumpers. Many styling cues appeared on the Lincoln Ford Mercury products in subsequent years.
