1955 Mercury Monterey: An Original Survivor.

MAR

This is my 55′ mercury Monterey. I bought it from a house painter down the street 8 years ago and he had been driving it for the better part of 25 years. The car has never actually been garaged or stored thus its been in constant use since it was new. I drive it quite regularly. Despite its age and having never been fully restored, its starts and drives great. I always get tons of comments.

I currently own a 1999 Mercury Grand Marquis. We bought it brand new, and it has always gotten GREAT gas mileage anywhere from 28-33 on the hwy (with cruise), and 20 around town. Looked at the Ford Flex 17/24mpg (NOT GOOD). Ford should really think about putting the 4.6L V8 - in the Flex. My Mercury has great gas mileage, a great passing gear when needed, and has better torque at 275ft-lbs.@ 3000rpm, than the Flex at 248ft-lbs.@4500rpm. If Ford would take a look at this, I truly think the 4.6L V8, would be a plus for this vehicle. A V8, is not a bad thing when it comes to gas mileage. And, I would seriously think about buying one.

Better Mileage For The Ford Flex
