1954 Mercury Monterey Sedan For Sale, Low Mileage, All Original 256 V8, 50k, three speed manual. It was used as a movie car on several occasions. The car also won awards at local car shows. Options include two tone paint, factory tinted glass, AM radio, clock and fender skirts. This is from Hagerty.com: "Mercury revamped its engine in 1954, and debuted a brand-new overhead-valve V-8 motor, displacing 256 cid. It generated 161 hp and featured a 4-barrel Holley carburetor. The Monterey’s front suspension went from coil springs to a ball-joint set-up. Mid-1950s Montereys are good first-time collectible cars, mainly because they are suitable for daily driving and can be ordered in an array of nice period colors. The 1952-1954 Mercury Monterey was a standout among early '50s Mercurys for exceptional styling and sound engineering, coupled with solid construction and high-quality fit and finish. They are now being rediscovered and are steadily increasing in value as collector cars." Mechanical: the Mercury has always been meticulously cared for, all service and regular maintenance have been performed on schedule. Recent work includes brake system overhaul including brake lines and wheel cylinders, rebuilt carburetor, refurbished gas tank, fuel lines and new belts and hoses. The lights work, the heater works, the radio works but needs a new speaker. Clock was replaced but has recently stopped, horn was replaced and is loud and clear. All the factory green tinted glass is in very good shape (one three inch crack on side window), the crank windows all work well. The engine is perfectly quiet, you can barely hear it running. Cosmetic: recent professional paint job matched to the original colors with the body taken down to bare metal and no bodywork necessary. It looks amazing in the sunshine and the body as straight as an arrow. The bumpers were rechromed as well, all the chrome and brightwork in very good to excellent condition. The complete interior has been redone, seats, carpet and door panels. The headliner was not done with the rest of the interior because it was still in very good condition but the fabric needs to be re-glued in spots. The car has never seen winter, it's always been a "Garage Queen". The engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks and the garage floor is always dry when I pull the car out. She cruises nicely on the highway, shifts smoothly, idles evenly and the suspension is smooth over the roughest roads. On the highway she'll get 14-18 MPG, and the clutch is easy and forgiving. The directional/brake/turn signal/headlights/brights work properly. Drives overall like an American classic cruiser should. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Monterey is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. Stunning classic Mercury which will only appreciate in value!

Ford Recalling 70k Escape and Mariner Hybrids for cooling issue
Fri, 12 Sep 2014Ford is recalling about 70,209 examples of the 2005-2008 Ford Escape Hybrid and the 2006-2008 Mercury Mariner Hybrid because the cooling pumps for their hybrid systems could fail.
According to the company's defect notice, it's possible for the original "Motor Electronics Coolant (MEC) Pump" to wear out and fail, which would could cause the hybrid system to overheat. If this happens, the vehicle goes into a safety mode that takes away most or all of its power. However, braking and steering still operate normally. After cooling down, the affected models restart normally. The company says that it's not aware of any accidents or injuries related to this problem.
Ford will begin repairing the vehicles in late October, and dealers will be installing improved, brushless pumps on the affected models at no charge to owners. If drivers had their pumps fail before this recall, they can contact Ford for a possible reimbursement.

Report: Lincoln getting all of Mercury's ad dollars
Mon, 03 Jan 2011Now that the curtain has closed on Mercury, Ford Motor Company will redirect all of its marketing dollars for the oft-overlooked brand to the Blue Oval's luxury outpost, Lincoln. In speaking to Automotive News, the chairman of the Lincoln National Dealer Council, Bob Tasca, Jr., said, "You'll see a lot stronger presence in the advertising of Lincoln in 2011."
Lincoln spokesperson Christian Bokich reminded AN that the automaker is "preparing the way for seven new or significantly refreshed vehicles" that will be launched over the next four years, and the largest ad blitz in 2011 will focus on the refreshed MKX crossover, as well as the MKZ sedan and its hybrid counterpart. Following that, Lincoln has plans to launch a completely overhauled version of its Navigator SUV, an all-new C-segment vehicle and the overhauled 2013 MKZ, which Tasca says will be "strikingly different from its Ford Fusion sibling."

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.
