Mercury was on a roll during the first half of the 1950s and by spring 1955, it moved up from being a �junior� companion marque to Lincoln within the Ford Motor Company hierarchy to full divisional status. Suspension enhancements earned praise from magazine road testers, who declared the new Mercury models the best-handling cars for 1955. They also looked the part with unforgettable new styling. The new Montclair was introduced for 1955 as Mercury�s top-the-line series, positioned above the Monterey. Featuring upscale trim and interior appointments, the exciting Monterey included dashing 2-tone paint and upholstery combinations, a color-contrast panel just below the windows, and a lowered ride height. Ford Motor Company�s top 292 CI V-8 engine (shared with the Ford Thunderbird) was standard, with 3-speed manual, Overdrive, and Merc-O-Matic automatic transmissions available. Strong sales, especially for the Montclair 2-door hardtop, played a major role in Mercury�s 1950s success story.Finished in Alaska White with a Biltmore Blue roof and side panels, this 1955 Mercury Montclair 2-door Hardtop represents the most popular body style within Mercury�s top Montclair series. Stylized �Mercury Man� trim and emblems, rear-fender skirts, and attractive chrome bumpers and brightwork add distinction. The interior is trimmed in original-appearing blue broadcloth upholstery, complemented by the visually striking steering wheel, 2-tone door panels and dash matching the exterior colors. Bright door-panel trim, chrome moldings, and a white headliner add elegance. Passenger amenities include a heater/defroster, AM radio, and dash clock. A 3-speed Merc-O-Matic automatic transmission is paired with the Montclair�s standard �Super-Torque� 198 horsepower V-8 engine, which is very nicely restored and refinished, including a correct air cleaner and accessories. A spare wheel/tire is stowed within the tidy trunk compartment. Correct steel wheels mounting full wheel covers and period-correct bias-ply whitewall tires complete this iconic mid-1950s Mercury. Appraised value of $45,000 CAD. Canadian tax is not applicable.
