The Mercury proved to be a huge success and for 1955 there were more changes that would ensure its future. It was at this time Ford established Lincoln and Mercury as separate divisions in the Ford Motor Company. Completely redesigned for 1955, two Mercury series of cars began production, but a third was soon added. Within the Custom, Monterey and Montclair series was a complete line-up of models including convertibles and station wagons.

This Mercury has undergone a complete restoration. Under the hood is a V-8 engine with dual exhaust, married to an automatic transmission. The exterior is finished in red and white, and embellished nicely with chrome trim, bumpers and wide whitewall tires with chrome wheel covers. The interior sports three rows of seating and is finished in red and white, with a pushbutton radio and heater.
