Thanks for posting this with the pix. I had a "56 orange & white Montcliar with continental kit like you show. It's 312 only got 8 mpg for my 17 yr old wallet, but what a chick magnet! Wish i'd have just kept it in a garage!
Again, --a great post!

Just think- soon as the damned gov't idiots, criminal insurance companies,
crooked corporations and corrupt "EPA" are dissolved, the U.S. can go back
to digging IRON out the ground, re-opening factories & steel mills & hiring
OUR OWN workers back!
Then we can build the kind of cars WE want again, not the JUNK that's been
forced on us by the crooks listed above for the last 40 years.
Its really that simple. THAT is what RUINED the U.S. auto industry.
TIME TO TAKE IT ALL BACK, AMERICA!

My Dad had a '63 Merc Monteray Breezeway. What a cool car. My brother and I took turns laying on the shelf above the backseat with the rear window down while Dad was cruisin. Seat belts be damned ........ thank God we survived. I wish I had that car now. It was white with two tone interior and a 490 maurader engine with dual exhausts and it sounded great and hauled ass. They don't make 'em that anymore.

Yeah nice work!!!

My dad had '56 Montclair, loaded! 312, 4-barrel, duel exhausts. Man, that thing sounded good. When I think of him, I think of a big, fearsome dude in a fedora, smiling ear to ear because his ride was so cool. Mercurys were very fine, from the flathead to the 429 Marauder. Like the Olds and Pontiac, they'll be back, but not soon.

I'm sad to see Mercury go too. Part of the problem with them recently was they weren't distinct enough from the Fords. I have an '08 Sable, if you look at it real hard you can see the influence of the '49 in the grill and fender lines. I'd love to customize it, drop an Eco-Boost in it, lower it, add rear wheel skirts, dual exhaust, suicide rear doors.
There's nothing like that beautiful heavy Detroit metal from the classic 1950s! They are just great looking cars.
One of my favorites is the middle 1960s Mercury with the "breezeway window". This was where the back window was an electric power window and with a push of a button could be lowered for a really great breeze. What a cool idea that was.
