1953 Mercury Monterey Convertible

The ’53 Mercury Monterey convertible was part of Ford Motor Company’s 50^th Anniversary hoopla.

Like its brother, the 1953 Ford Convertible, the only difference between Ford and Mercury was that Mercury was a little larger, fancier and more expensive ($300.00 more).

The Mercury & Ford engines and transmissions were the same. Because their automatic transmissions were a two-speed transmission that was far inferior to the General Motors Hydramatic four speed transmission, Ford & Mercury suffered in competing against the General Motors cars.
