Edsel Ford introduced the Mercury in 1939 as a model to fill the gap between the basic Ford, and the luxury Lincoln.
The sixth generation Monterey (1965-68) was redesigned with a more slab sided look. The Monterey was the base model below the Montclair and the top of the line Parklane.
For 1965, a flat fronted car, the grille stepping out in the centre, the Monterey was available in 2 and 4 door Sedans, 2 and 4 door Hardtops and Convertible, the Breezeway window was available on the 4 door Sedan, the Marauder had a fastback roof, bucket seats and a console.
Engines; 300 or 330hp 390 and 425hp 427 cu in V8s
In 1966, still a flat front, the grille now pointed in the centre, the 2 door was a notchback for the first half of the year, then a fastback for the second half, the 330hp 410 and 345hp 428 FE engines added.
1967 saw a facelift, the hood with a raised centre section, continuing into the grille with central horizontal bar, the breezeway roofline was gone, but the drop down window still available.
1968, a plainer look, horizontal grille bars
