1959 Mercury Monterey, Luxury for the Family

Produced by the Mercury division of the Ford Motor Company in 1950 was a full-sized luxury car known as the Mercury Monterey. In 1959 there was a production of many styles of Monterey. This included 11,355 four door hardtops, 43570 four door sedans, 17323 two door hardtops, 12694 two-door sedans and 4,426 Convertibles.

We have the original bill of sale and other receipts. On the bill of sale they added 10 Gals of gas for the grand total of $3.50. Gas must have been high that day all the way up to 35 cents a gal. That must have been"Rocky mountain high" prices to be that high in 1958.
I think it is an outrageous body style and would make a great rod although this above average car would make someone a great cruiser as is.
