Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars Dallas is proud to present a one of a kind,
documented, 1956 Mercury Montclair Restomod. ?The Mercury nameplate
has always stood for classic looks, power and performance. Of
course, the high-water mark for the famed winged messenger was the
early 1950s when everyone that was anyone in the custom-car realm
had to have a chopped '50 "Merc." That's not meant to rule out the
mid-'50s Mercurys when it comes to classic looks and performance.
This particular example, a 1956 Mercury Montclair Custom is rather
rare due to the fact that most mid-'50s custom Mercury's were
Montclair hardtops rather than the Custom 2-door sedan. There is no
doubt that this Montclair Custom is a fine example that really
pulls off a custom look in high style. Check out those sweet
period-correct Texas license plates, offset with shimmering Dark
Blue Metallic paint covering a fully prepared chassis that has been
lowered and upgraded with power front disc brakes and power
steering. Wheels and tires consist of ION 5-spoke aluminum wheels
rolling on General Tire HP-1 radial rubber. Motivation comes in the
form of a fully dressed out, Ford Racing 351-Windsor small-block
with dual exhaust backed up by a Ford automatic transmission.
Creature comforts include GM-type 6-way tilt steering,
leather-wrapped billet steering wheel, Vintage Air Climate Control,
power windows, and a Sony Audio system with CD player all wrapped
up in luxurious Caramel soft leather with contrasting navy blue
carpeting. Exterior treatments include de-chroming, shaving, and
decking as well as "frenching in" the headlights and tail lights.
Both front and rear bumper have also been smoothed and re-chromed.
If you ever wanted to arrive in style, this Mercury looks perfectly
ready for a Saturday night cruise to the local burger bar. Ford
