More about this car
This 1955 Mercury Custom left the factory as a six-passenger Sport hardtop coupe, and it underwent a refurbishment under previous ownership that involved fitting it with Montclair badging and trim before it was purchased by the current owner in 2014. The car is finished in metallic blue with a white top and bodyside accents over color-coordinated cloth and vinyl upholstery, and power comes from a replacement 289ci V8 paired with a C4 three-speed automatic transmission. Features include power-assisted drum brakes with a dual-circuit master cylinder as well as a four-barrel carburetor, a 12-volt electrical system with an alternator, a dual exhaust system, air conditioning, an Alpine stereo, and lap belts. This Montclair-style Mercury Custom is now offered on dealer consignment at no reserve in New York with service records and a clean New Jersey title listing the car as a 1955 Mercury Montclair. The Mercury range was refreshed for 1955, and hardtop coupes were available across the entry-level Custom, mid-range Monterey, and range-topping Montclair lines. A total of 7,040 Custom hardtops were produced for the year. This example was delivered from the factory in Gulfstream Blue Metallic upper paint over Biltmore Blue lower paint (67), and it was repainted metallic blue with a white top during the refurbishment. Montclair fender badges and bright rocker trim were added at that time, and additional details include chrome bumpers with overriders, cowl-mounted mirrors, rear fender skirts, and reverse lights. Paint bubbles and other imperfections in the finish can be seen in the gal
