1954 Mercury Monterey
Having just seen Delworthio's photo of a blue Mercury, I couldn't resist posting one of my 1954 Monterey, some twenty years later (1989) and a few thousand miles east of Indiana. View full size.
1954 Mercury
A friend has a 1954 Mercury that his dad bought new. I've been around cars a long time, but I've never seen one like his -- it's a two-door sedan, not a hardtop. There's no name on the side indicating the model, and I can't find anything but Monterey on the internet, and still no 2-door post sedans. Any clues what model this is?

From 1949 to 1956 red wheels
From 1949 to 1956 red wheels were the standard. Wheels that matched the body color cost extra except on the 1954 to 1956 Montclair.
Red wheels
When I bought the car only the roof had been repainted. It originally came with these red wheels, standard or optional I don't know.
Mercs
Beautiful! As an 8 year old tterrace I went gaga over big, luscious tail lights like these. Interesting that the wheels on this one are red, just like those on delworthio's uncle's 1951 model. Was that Merc thing or just a coincidence?
