1955 Mercury Monterey

This highly-original, documented, award-winning 1955 Mercury Monterey 2-door hardtop is absolutely phenomenal. It won multiple AACA awards between 1980 and 1982 (1st Junior, Senior, Grand National, 1st Preservation) in the "27A" original car class. The car has had three titled owners and has only 14,386 actual miles.. It has the original 292ci/188hp V8 engines with a 3-speed standard transmission. The original "572" Cordovan weave/White nylon interior is in excellent condition for its age and the factory-correct "94" Alaska White/Persimmon shows beautifully as well. This '55 Merc was purchased new at Lawrence Bros. Motor Co. in Chattanooga, TN. It was ordered on 2-4-55 and picked up on 8-4-55 by Mr. Olen C. Blevins; all of this being confirmed by several original documents. This vehicle is equipped with an AM radio, rearview mirror, dual side mirrors, dash clock, cigarette lighter, heater/defroster, horn and whitewall tires. Modern seat belts were added to the vehicle as well. The original paperwork for the vehicle is included in the sale. What a car!
