The 1954 Monarch differed from its Meteor and Canadian Ford siblings by following Mercury in adopting the U.S.-built 161-hp, 256-cid OHV V-8 engine and updated ball-joint front suspension. The series was further differentiated with the expansion into two series – the base Monarch and the Lucerne which corresponded to the Monterey in the U.S. Styling distinctions included a Lincoln-like front bumper and grille, “V” hood ornament, floating MONARCH letters, disc with crown front fender ornament, 1953 Ford-style rear quarter molding and crown emblazoned wheel covers. Total Monarch production for the model year was 6,909 units.

This orange convertible with matching orange and cream interior and brown convertible top makes quite the impression with its oh-so-‘50s color scheme. It is equipped with wide whitewall tires, dual spotlights, AM radio, power steering, power windows and automatic transmission.
