Description:

Im selling my 1952 Mercury Monterey 2 door hard top. I don't particularly want to sell it but I'm going off to college and I need a normal car so she needs to find a home. She's a great hot rod or cruiser or a daily driver. I've driven it everywhere for 4 years and it'll get you there without any problems. I am the second owner of this car and I bought it all original from North Carolina from the original owner.

2 sets (8 in total) of perfect mercury hubcaps
The original owner purchased a lot of optional dealership parts when he first bought the car, such as the custom steering wheel and chrome rock guards.
2 sets of original keys
Only downside is a very small oil leak from front timing cover and will need new front tires since it was recently realigned. Also, the speedometer and trunk lock will need repair, the odometer turns fine but I believe spring is broken in the speedometer and the trunk opens, closes and latches fine but does not lock
The car gets looks and thumbs up wherever it goes. I've been to car shows all over california and have never seen another '52 Mercury, it is truly a one of a kind car. There are very few of these Mercuries left.
