Stock #: 3833-DFW Exterior Color: Cream White Interior Color: Black Body Type: Hardtop Transmission: 3 speed automatic Drivetrain: RWD Engine: 401 V8 Title Condition: Clear Ford completely redesigned most of its cars for the 1952 year, introducing the first generation of the newly named and elegant Mercury Monterey in the process. Slightly more powerful than the Ford version, the slick 1952 Merc also offered clean styling and wonderful '50s era details that only add to the car's allure. Featuring a sophisticated two-tone paint job, a beautifully restored interior, a couple of choice options, and an upgraded 401 'Wildcat' V8, this is an unusual '50s cruiser that really moves the needle.
With all the focus on vintage hot-rodding these days, it's easy to forget that your parents and grandparents drove fantastic cars like this to work every day. With that in mind, you shouldn't be surprised that this one works as well as it does, or that it looks so polished. The Mercury brand was hitting on all eight cylinders in 1952, boasting impressive sales and a rejuvenated image thanks to value-packed cars like this. The custom cream beige and deep red paint is pretty close to Vassar Yellow and Siren Red (introduced the following year), and with those contrasting shades, it has a high-profile look that fits the Monterey's upscale status. Built as a driver and always intended to be enjoyed, it's important to note that this car has never had a frame-off restoration, so it must have looked good pretty much its entire life. It's been repainted, but the straight bodywork mostly comes from clean living not a restorer's tools, and it still fits together with a precision that feels authentic. It shines up great, the finish is deep and glossy, and the tasteful pinstriping fore and aft really pops out from the luster of the beige. Perfect it is not, but this Merc sure turns some heads here in our showroom. The grille up front was borrowed from a 1954 Monterey, the headlight bezels are from a '57 Chevy, and the taillights are custom, giving this already beautiful design a little more edge. Heavy chrome bumpers are in very good condition, and all the chrome and brightwork is in place and really pops out from the two-tone paint job.
The two-tone red and black interior was probably freshened at the same time the car was painted and shows very little signs of use since then. The vinyl and cloth upholstery is durable and comfortable, stitched into factory-correct patterns that value simplicity over flash. The dashboard, however, is a different story with its futuristic look, floating instrument panel, and aircraft-style control levers for the secondary controls. Handsome door panels with contrasting chrome moldings and levers are in excellent shape, the headliner remains taut and wrinkle-free, and the black carpets below are plush and insulate the cabin. Stewart Warner gauges are neatly installed inside the dash bezel, the better to monitor the Nailhead up front, there's a Vintage A/C unit under the dash that blows R134a air inside the cabin, and a modern Pioneer AM/FM/CD/Bluetooth stereo handles the entertainment. Out back, the spacious trunk is all-stock and includes a full-sized spare tire.
The 401 'Wildcat' V8 under the hood, also known as the 'Nailhead', is not original to the car but offers more power and less weight than the flathead it replaced. Smooth as silk with a bubbly idle, it looks nicely detailed under the hood, from the finned aluminum air cleaner and matching valve covers, to the upgraded power brake system and Sanderson A/C compressor. The Buick turquoise-green engine enamel on the block almost looks factory-applied, and it really pops out from the satin black inner fenders and firewall. With friendly gears out back, it's a very pleasant highway cruiser that purrs along at modern speeds, and the TH400 3-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly. The undercarriage is very solid and tidy as well, further showing-off a life lived well in temperate climates. Finishing the look, period-looking American Classics wide whitewall tires look great on those bright red wheels with full chrome wheelcovers.
An unusual '50s cruiser with plenty of power and a demure look, this 1952 Mercury Monterey is every bit as wonderful as you remember them being back in the day. Call today!

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).

FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.

AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.

CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.

INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.

PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers. SHIPPING: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.

DRIVE IT HOME: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.

DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.

VIN VERIFICATION: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.

MILEAGES: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.

CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
