“Imagine Yourself in a Mercury Now.” To do that, you’ll need to stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars first, where we are pleased to offer this 1958 Mercury Monterey Two-door Hardtop (VIN code B). This particular example was built October 15, 1957 (code 15K) at Ford’s St. Louis, Missouri factory (VIN code Z). It was shipped to the Twin Cities sales region. Its original owner, who lived in White Tail, Montana, purchased the car new from the Erickstein Motor Company in Scobey, Montana on December 1, 1958.
Dressed in Marble White (code 07) over Shadow Rose, (code 87), this car has had one correct repaint in the original shades and the paint and trim are in overall excellent condition. The bodywork is straight, the engine bay is very tidy, the battery is in very good order and the original, unique chrome bumpers are also in excellent order.
This Merc wears Allstate Guardsman wide whitewall tires, size 8.00-14 at all four corners. Each tire rides on a steel wheel topped by factory wheel covers. The tires and wheel covers are all in good order.
Under the hood is Mercury’s 383 CID Marauder V-8 engine (VIN code M) with a four-barrel carburetor. Backing this motor is a Merc-O-Matic Multi-Drive three-speed pushbutton automatic transmission (code C) and 2.91:1 rear end (code N). Nineteen fifty-eight was the first year for this engine and transmission pairing.
Inside, the car has its original interior, except for the new black carpeting. The black and white front and rear bench seats are in overall very good order. The neutral-colored headliner is in spectacular shape while the white, four-spoke steering wheel is in very good condition. The instrument panel is in excellent order, as are the inner door panels. The fuel gauge and horn are inoperable. A factory AM radio rounds out the interior.
The Mercury Monterey is a full-size car model that was introduced by Mercury in 1952. It would later share the same body style with the slightly more upscale Marquis, and the Park Lane and Montclair. The Marquis-Monterey body was built on a longer wheelbase and had a longer body than the Ford LTD, Ford Galaxie, and Ford Custom. During its production the Monterey served as the high-end, mid-range and entry-level full-size Mercury at various times throughout its run.
The full-size Mercury was redesigned for 1957 and grew considerably larger as well, riding on an exclusive 122-inch wheelbase. A new frame design allowed a lower floor which made the car look lower and longer. Interior features included a front seat track stop (to keep the front seat from breaking loose), a new design for the safety steering wheel, a new radio, and memory power front seats. The station wagons were divested from the Monterey series, with the Commuter, Voyager, and Colony Park lines. The 312 Ford Y-block gained 20 horsepower to go with the added weight, and the 290 horsepower 368 CID Lincoln Y-block V-8 became an option. Nineteen fifty-eight brought quad headlamps, as well as an all-new engine: the 383 CID MEL V-8; with it came the Multi-Drive three-speed pushbutton automatic transmission.
Coupe competition to this Mercury in 1958 included Buick’s Series 60 Century Riviera, DeSoto’s Adventurer, Dodge’s Custom Royal Lancer, Edsel’s Citation and Corsair, Oldsmobile’s Dynamic 88 Holiday and Pontiac’s Super Chief Catalina.
This rolling time capsule is certain to impress more than just Ford and Mercury collectors. It harks back to a time when the US Interstate Highway system was new, quad headlights were all the rage and America was involved in the Race for Outer Space. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today, to take a peek at this big Mercury and just imagine yourself taking it home.

om Mercury
Mercury, bilmärket, har en rik historia som sträcker sig bortom dess roll inom anpassnings- och hot rod-scenen, särskilt med den ikoniska Mercury Eight. Här är några nyckelpunkter att känna till om Mercury:

Bildande och Tidiga År:
Mercury introducerades av Ford Motor Company 1938 som ett mellanprissatt märke och positionerades mellan de prisvärda Ford-modellerna och lyxbilarna i Lincoln-serien. Märket syftade till att fylla gapet mellan dessa två segment.
Mercury Eight:
Mercury Eight, lanserad 1939, är kanske det mest kända modellen i märkets historia. Den hade en stilren design och en kraftfull V8-motor. Denna modell blev populär för anpassning och hot rodding och har fått en betydande plats i amerikansk bilkultur.
Anpassningskultur:
Mercury Eight, med sitt distinkta utseende och relativt överkomliga pris, blev en favorit bland byggare av anpassade bilar. Den spelade en avgörande roll i utvecklingen av kulturen kring anpassade bilar och hot rods, särskilt under perioden efter andra världskriget.
Lead Sleds och Anpassning:
Termen "lead sled" associeras ofta med kraftigt anpassade bilar från 1940- och 1950-talen. Dessa bilar, inklusive Mercury Eight, modifierades ofta med sänkt fjädring, kapade tak och andra stilistiska förändringar. Lead sleds blev en framträdande del av scenen för anpassade bilar, och Mercury Eight var ett populärt val för sådana modifieringar.
Efterkrigstidens Framgång:
Under efterkrigstiden upplevde Mercury, liksom många andra amerikanska biltillverkare, en ökad popularitet när ekonomin blomstrade. Märket bidrog till eran av fascination för eleganta och kraftfulla bilar.
Utveckling av Modeller:
Genom åren producerade Mercury olika modeller och bidrog till Fords utbud. Några märkbara modeller inkluderar Mercury Monterey, Mercury Comet och Mercury Cougar.
Nedgång och Nedläggning:
Trots perioder av framgång mötte Mercury utmaningar när det gällde att etablera en unik identitet separat från Ford. När konsumentpreferenser förändrades hade märket svårt, och Ford tillkännagav slutligen nedläggningen av Mercury år 2010.
Arv i Populärkulturen:
Mercury, särskilt modeller som Mercury Eight, har en betydande plats i amerikansk populärkultur. Dess koppling till anpassnings- och hot rod-scenen, samt dess distinkta design, har lämnat ett varaktigt intryck.
Sammanfattningsvis, medan Mercury Eight firas för sin roll inom anpassnings- och hot rod-kulturen, har Mercury som varumärke spelat en bredare roll i bilhistorien genom att bidra till mellanprissegmentet och spegla tidens bilströmningar
