SUMMARY: This 1954 Mercury Monterey Woodie is one of approx. 300 early 1954 Mercs that had real maple wood trim. This car is owned by a friend of mine that just doesn't use it enough. He bought the car already done. It has been upgraded to a 12 volt electrical system with an alternator. The wiring harness has been upgraded to a modern system as well utilizing modern fuses. A previous owner thought it would be neat to restore the undercarriage in the colors used in the ball joint suspension ad (see pic of ad above). He has multiple cars and is downsizing his collection. He just took it to Santa Cruz for the Woodies on the Wharf car show without a problem. It cruises down the highway just fine and can keep up with the traffic as needed. The car does run and drive great and gets more attention than you can imagine. Black 1954 plates will not go with the car as they were a gift from a friend. Not perfect but showable immediately. Very rare model. If you have any questions please call me at 925-899-2648. Please remember I am on Pacific Standard Time.
