1959 MERCURY MONTEREY TUDOR SEDAN 312 AUTO PB NICE CRUISER

***312 V-8 ENGINE

***GREAT CRUISER---RESTORED TOWN & COUNTRY RADIO---CLOCK***

This is a 1959 Mercury Monterey two door sedan the owner asked me to list. He has done a lot of work to it to make it a nice cruiser. The body has been painted carmine red and artic white. All trim and chrome has been redone or was purchased NOS or from a place in the California desert. The wide white walls tires are from Coker and have 57 Dodge spinner hub caps. The previous owner had the 312 V-8 engine rebuilt. It fires right up and runs well. The transmission is automatic and the car has power brakes. The exhaust is new with stainless tips. The rare Town and Country radio was restored and is now AM/FM. The clock was restored and it works fine. Everything is working on the car except the wipers. This is a real nice car for cruise-ins - if possible come and see and test drive it. Email me for the owner's phone number if you have questions or would like to set  up a time to see it.
