My favorite Aunt and Uncle had a 53’ Mercury Monterey 2 dr, HT Red w/a Black top just like the picture in the ad. It was such a beautiful car! I remember that the upholstery had silver threads running through the black cloth inserts with red leather trim (might have been leatherette). This was also the Aunt that had the 55 Westy Slant Fronts that started my lifelong fascination with washing machines.
Thanks so much Louie for posting all these wonderful bits of history!
