1950 Mercury Monterey 2-Door Hardtop

The 1950 Mercury Monterey occupies an important place in Mercury history as a one-year-only premium hardtop created to compete in the emerging pillarless coupe market. With its long, low styling, upscale appointments, and proven Flathead V8 power, the Monterey represented Mercury’s upscale answer to the personal luxury coupes of the era. This exceptionally well-presented example stands out with its rare Code 202 configuration, striking Cortaro Red Metallic finish, black vinyl top, museum history, and just 1,973 miles since its frame-off restoration.
