1956 Mercury Montclair Convertible on 2040-cars
Binghamton, New York, United States
|
1956 Mercury Montclair Convertible This is a 1956 Mercury Montclair Convertible that was owned by my late Father. The vehicle was purchased and restored in approximately 1977. The paint was redone again in the late 80's-early 90's. The engine is the original 312 ci V-8 with an automatic transmission and 12v electrical. To our knowledge the engine and transmission are original to the car. My father was very passionate about keeping the car "all original". This vehicle was never driven in snow, always garage kept and was taken off the road for the winters. We have been to hundreds of car shows with my father over the years and have never seen another 56' Merc Convertible. This is a relatively rare model, only 7,762 were produced in 1956! The car has not been driven on the road for the past 3 years. We had it looked over at a local garage this spring. A new battery was put in (not the original style/type), new water pump, oil change, points, condenser and the ignition distributor wiring was redone. The car starts and runs good. Vehicle is not currently registered and has not been driven on the road in 3 years. Overall, its in good condition but does need work to make it a show car. The body is solid and the paint is in decent glossy condition. There is 1 spot on the front of the hood where the clear coat has peeled off (see picture). Chrome and stainless is in good condition with a few dings on the side trim. Front and rear bumpers were re-chromed in the 80's. The only rust I can see is a small spot between the front fender and the front bumper under the drivers side headlight (see picture). The under body and frame are all undercoated. Tires are period reproductions from Coker Tire, hold air and have good tread remaining. Speedometer and odometer are not working, true mileage unknown. Interior seats were re-upholstered in the 70's and are showing a fair amount of wear (see pictures). The engine was rebuilt in the late 80's-early90's, to what extent I don't know. Passenger side door window is cracked. The medallion inside the trunk lock is loose. Original ignition and trunk key. Convertible top is in good condition with no rips. Convertible extend/retract motors work. Rear differential does have a slight leak. Before Bidding please read all terms and conditions.

Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
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."

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
