1952 Mercury Monteray 2dr, Hardtop Nice!! on 2040-cars
Little Rock, Arkansas, United States
|
Up for sale is my 52 Mercury coupe 2 door hardtop. I unfortunately do not have the time or funds to do this special auto justice. This car gets looks everywhere I take it. It has the makings of an awesome rat rod, hot rod or make it your own custom street rod. It has been restored previously in its life and looks remarkable for its age. The mileage that I have listed is what is showing on the odometer currently but I have no way of knowing what the actual mileage is. I do have a key for it but it only works the ignition. Its driver and passenger windows are spider cracked from age but still holding together. Window regulators in both doors and rear glass are functioning. The hard to find most expensive front and rear glass is not damaged. It drive train is a 302 auto with a 9" rear end. it does run and drive and I have driven it on the road although I would not trust it far. The exhaust is open just past the manifolds. So it is loud. The original brakes do function and stop the Merc. The original front end is nice and tight. That being said, I would suggest a trailer for the ride home. The electrical system has been updated to 12 volts and the front headlights have been replaced. the rear tail lights will need to rewired. The body and floor do have some rust as to be expected from a 50+ year old car. When the previous restoration was done patch panels were made for the floor pans so the floor does not give. The original gas tank has been removed but is included with the car. It runs off a fuel cell mounted in the trunk. The original hubcaps are also included. The wheels have been replaced and the tires are older but probably don't have 1000 miles on them and would last for some time as they are not dry rotted. The interior is nice but does show it age in places. This is an excellent start to get u going on a restoration or repair just minor items and drive it. Please ask any question before u bid or make an appointment to come out and look. I am available most days before 1pm. Call, text or send a message thru ebay and I can help u. 870-917-4381. I have a clean Arkansas title for this car so it is ready to go. I can assist with loading if needed. ask any questions before u bid as ur bid is a contract. I do have a reserve but it is not outrageous and it is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early as needed. I am asking for a $500 deposit within 24 hrs of the auctions close. The balance is due within 7 days payable by cashiers check or cash but it will be paid for in full and verified before the car and title leaves my possession. I can hold the car until we can make arrangements for it to be paid for and picked up. Max 14 days please. I am willing to sell worldwide but funds to be paid in USD and u are responsible for all shipping arrangements and fees . Thanks, happy biding, good luck!!!

Report: Last Mercury for retail business built on Sunday
Mon, 04 Oct 2010Ford is already well into winding down its Mercury line, and the autoamker has announced that the very last of the soon-to-be dead brand's products built for retail sales was manufactured on Sunday, October 3. The final Mercury Mariner rolled off of the assembly line at the company's Kansas City facility, putting an end to a brand with over 70 years of history behind it.
Even after the Mariner heads off into the automotive sunset, Ford says that it will continue to manufacture a handful of Mercury models for fleet and government service for a while longer, though mum's the word on how long we can expect that practice to continue.
Interestingly enough, according to USA Today, most incentives on Mercury vehicles have all but dried up, even as the brand's August production increased by 120 percent compared to July's figures. Instead of cash on the hood, some areas are offering no-cost maintenance or similar programs. Even so, Mercury has continued to out-sell Lincoln right to the end - besting Ford's luxury arm's sales by nine percent in August.
Ford recalling 126,000 Fusions and Milans over wheel separation concern
Fri, 09 Dec 2011Ford has announced a recall of certain Ford Fusion and Mercury Milan vehicles after an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. A total of 128,616 2010 and 2011 models equipped with steel wheels may have been manufactured with wheel studs that could crack and split over time. If that happens, the vehicle may experience a wheel separation.
According to The Detroit News, the company is aware of a total of 30 wheel separation incidents, one of which occurred on the front of the vehicle. Even so, no injuries have been reported as a result of the defect.
The problem apparently stems from the fact that the mounting pads on the vehicles' steel wheels may have been faulty from the factory. In addition, the wheel mounting face on rear disc brakes may not have been installed properly. Ford will inspect the rear disc face and replace them as necessary. In addition, the company will replace all of the vehicle's wheel studs free of charge. Head to the NHTSA website for more information, and click past the jump to view the full recall notice.
Ford's J Mays feels vindicated by Fusion reception
Tue, 25 Sep 2012It's hard to think back now, but the same man overseeing the design of the 2013 Ford Fusion also presided over a rather lackluster period in Ford design, highlighted by vehicles like the Five Hundred and Freestyle. With the redesigned Fusion receiving high praise, J Mays tells Automotive News that he feels vindicated from criticisms suggesting he's not a daring enough designer.
When Mays took over as lead of design in 1997, he admits to having quite an ego ("My head would barely fit through the door some days. I've long since gotten over myself") and the workload to match. With the Blue Oval's portfolio full of premium brands like Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo at that point, along with the bread-and-butter Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models, Mays certainly had quite the challenge.
It was in the mid-2000s that Mays took over just the premium brands, and took on the new title of Chief Creative Officer. At the time, Mays endured some criticism for looking backwards to retro styling, rather than setting a new standard for American car design - criticism that Mays says he is free from with the all-new Fusion.
