The tradition of Mercury/Monarch sheetmetal interchangeability was maintained in Canada for 1957 as the Monarch adopted the Mercury’s domestically exclusive body shell. The Monarch line consisted of the Lucerne, Richelieu, and Turnpike Cruiser models. “M-O-N-A-R-C-H” letters on the hood and quarter panels, a free-standing crown hood ornament, a “V” crest with crown on the unique horizontal bar grille; crown-motif lock covers, distinctive C-pillar ornaments; wheelcover inserts and rear bumper grilles; and a gull-winged decklid crest distinguished Monarchs from Mercurys.

Total production for all series totaled 7,557 units making this tri-tone red/black/white Monarch Lucerne Convertible with matching interior both rare and unusual. Equipped with power steering and brakes, it is also highlighted by wire wheels on wide whitewall tires, Continental kit, AM radio, heater and automatic transmission.
