1955 Mercury Montclair Hardtop

Beautiful car! Great color scheme...black and white, that is carried over into the interior. Exhaust exits via ports beneath the bumpers..one spectator noted that was a feature of the 56 model. But there is no doubt this is a 55 Mercury. The driving lights in the bumper are very useful too...unusual for the time.

@JesseAndMike Hey, guys! Yeah, I have the feeling that there are MANY coats of wax on this car! How do you like the Escape?? Thanks! :) Jack

I'm usually not a big fan of Black/White colour combinations, but these Montclair's are such beautiful car's that they actually wear it very well :) ... It's a stunning car, Jack!

@drewerz01 Hey, Mike! Yes indeed...restored to perfection! The black color seems to give it even more class than a mid-priced car! Thanks! :) Jack

I really like the look of the front of this car.

@grizzlyten Hey, Cheryl! Yes indeed...the grille and bumper really meant something for cars...the more chrome, the heavier the look, the more CAR it was...now we're lucky if the new cars have any grille at all! Thanks! :) Jack

@raconter1 It's too bad they don't make cars like that these days. Although I don't care one way or another about the chrome, I do like the heavy gauged steel.

@Seattlecarnut Hey, Jason! This was when a car was a car! Plenty of chrome and heavy gauge metal! Thanks! :) Jack

[Seattlecarnut]

Very nice looking car.

@cheddyrod Hey, Chester! Occasionally I'll get a question about the advisability of buying a fully restored car as opposed to one that needs everything...needless to say, I point them in the direction of the fully restored! One has no idea of the costs involved in rechroming, finding missing trim pieces...all the maddening and expensive stuff that can take years! I don't blame you for your choice of the living room..but one would have to empty the gas tank! :D Thanks! :D Jack
