1954 Mercury Monterey Convertible
1954 Mercury Monterey Promo Film by Ed Sullivan
Before WWII Mercury was just a division of Ford. After WWII it was decided to make Mercury more upscale and became a division of Lincoln. Many of the styling cues from Lincoln were used on the production Mercury’s. In 1954 the Mercury power plant was changed from the V8 flathead to the V8 Y-Block overhead valve engine that became legendary.
There are many collectors who believe that the 1954 Mercury with its clean lines and wonderful styling cues is one of the most beautiful convertibles ever made during the 1950s. Here at MissChiTown we certainly tend to agree that the 1954 Mercury may be one of the most beautiful convertibles that Ford Motor Company made during the 1950s.
