Frequently Asked Questions about the Mercury Monterey
The Mercury Monterey first appeared in 1950 as a dressed-up version of Mercury's two-door coupe, coded Model 72C. It carried a canvas or vinyl roof covering and upgraded upholstery, and it was Ford Motor Company's answer to the hardtop coupes General Motors was selling. Mercury did not offer a true two-door hardtop until its redesigned 1952 cars.
Mercury sold the full-size Monterey from 1950 through the 1974 model year, first as a single upscale coupe and from 1952 as a separate series. The name came back for 2004 on a minivan that was Mercury's version of the Ford Freestar, built in Oakville, Ontario, with a 4.2-liter V6. That Monterey was sold through the 2007 model year.
The Monterey began at the top of the Mercury range and moved down over time. When it became a full series for 1952 it sat above the base Custom. For 1955 the new Montclair took the top spot, leaving the Monterey in the middle above the Custom, and by the end of the 1950s it was the base full-size Mercury.
The Monterey received an overhead-valve V8 for 1954, when a new 256-cubic-inch Y-block rated at 161 horsepower replaced the flathead V8 used through 1953. The new engine came with a four-barrel carburetor. Displacement rose to 292 cubic inches for 1955, and a 312-cubic-inch version of the Y-block replaced the 292 for 1956.
The Mercury Monterey's wheelbase was 118 inches for 1954, 119 inches for 1955 and 1956 sedans and hardtops, and 122 inches for 1957. The 1957 increase came with a redesigned, larger car that also offered a 368-cubic-inch V8 rated at 290 horsepower as an option. By 1963 the full-size Monterey rode a 120-inch wheelbase.
Breezeway was Mercury's name for a rear window that could be lowered to ventilate the cabin. The idea first reached production on the 1957 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser and was revived for 1963, in a reverse-slanted roofline, on full-size Mercurys including the Monterey. The reverse-slant roofline was dropped after 1966, although an opening rear window remained optional on the conventional roofline that replaced it.
The S-55 was the sporty version of the full-size Monterey, introduced for 1962 as a two-door hardtop and convertible with front bucket seats and a center console. Its strongest engine option that year was a 406-cubic-inch V8 rated at 405 horsepower. For 1963 the S-55 line added a four-door hardtop.
The Marauder was a fastback two-door hardtop added to the full-size Mercury line midway through the 1963 model year, which is why it is often called a 1963½ model. It was sold as part of the Monterey line and could be combined with S-55 trim. Its sloping roofline was shared with the Ford Galaxie and was meant to make the cars more competitive in stock car racing.
