Dune BeigeStep into the past with this exceedingly rare 1950 Mercury Monterey, a 2-door coupe that stands out with its “Un-chopped” and unmodified design. It retains its original allure with the correct drive train, finished in a stunning Dune Beige exterior complemented by an authentic tan and brown cloth interior. The level of detail in the engine compartment, underside, and trunk is remarkable, showcasing the meticulous care it has received over the years, contributing to its clean title.
This classic beauty has been meticulously maintained, with recent updates including new brakes complete with wheel cylinders, a master cylinder, new lines, and shoes. It’s undergone a complete tune-up, boasting a rebuilt original carburetor and a new fuel pump, along with changes in all fluids to ensure peak performance.
Under the hood, you’ll find a beautifully restored 255 CID Flathead V8 engine paired with a manual transmission, producing a smooth and powerful drive. The vehicle’s electrical systems, gauges, lights, turn signals, heater, and wipers function perfectly, ensuring a seamless driving experience.
Additional features include a Sun Shield sun visor, dual mirrors, fender skirts, and original AM radio (currently non-working). The Mercury proudly displays new chrome bumpers and trim, new rubber elements throughout, and an entirely new (stock) interior with fresh carpeting.
Maintaining its vintage charm, the car stands on Firestone wide whitewall tires with 15-inch steel wheels and full hubcaps. The stock body has been preserved in its original state, indicative of its unaltered and genuine character. Finding an unmodified and “Un-chopped” 1950 Mercury like this is a testament to its rarity and enduring appeal.
