Mercury restyled their lineup for 1955, making them longer with lower styling themes. The top-of-the-line Mercury was the Montclair. It had a modern overhead valve V8 engine, glamorous two-tone paint treatments, and multiple standard and optional amenities.
This example is a 1956 Mercury Montclair two-door hardtop coupe. It has been given a ground-up restoration and finished in a red and white two-tone paint scheme. The interior features red and white dash and door panels, two-tone seats, black carpeting, a clock, and a pushbutton-operated AM radio. The 312 cubic-inch V8 engine is mated to a Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission. Other features include power steering, power brakes, and a dual exhaust system.
In 2009, it was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Meadow Brook presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $35,000 - $45,000 and offered without reserve. The lot was sold for the sum of $23,100 including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2009
